Selective one-pot multicomponent synthesis of N-substituted 2,3,5-functionalized 3-cyanopyrroles via the reaction between α-hydroxyketones, oxoacetonitriles, and primary amines

A one-step, three-component reaction between α-hydroxyketones, oxoacetonitriles, and primary amines gives N-substituted 2,3,5-functionalized 3-cyanopyrroles with complete selectivity in up to 90% isolated yields. The reaction worked on a wide substrate scope under mild reaction conditions (AcOH as a...
