Synthesis of pyrroles from propargylamines and their derivatives: an update (microreview)

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

This microreview describes the progress and results of the update reports in the synthesis of pyrrole skeletons using propargylamine, its derivatives, and in situ formed propargylamine as a building block. Both transition metal-catalyzed and metal-free synthetic strategies have been discussed.
