Pd-Catalyzed Oxidative Coupling of Enamides and Alkynes for Synthesis of Substituted Pyrroles

A novel and efficient palladium­(II)-catalyzed alkenyl C–H activation oxidative annulation of enamides with alkynes for the synthesis of substituted pyrroles has been developed. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and is a reliable method for the synthesis of triaryl-substituted pyrroles in high yields
