An expeditious synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles via microwave-induced iodine-catalyzed reactions under solventless conditions

Abstract

An expeditious synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles has been developed by reacting 2,5-dimethoxy tetrahydrofuran and several amines using a microwave-induced molecular iodine-catalyzed reaction under solventless conditions.
