Efficient synthesis of substituted pyrroles through iron-mediated oxidation reaction of 3-methylenehexane-2,5-dione with primary amines

An efficient route has been developed for the synthesis of multiple substituted pyrrole derivatives from the readily available agents through iron-mediated oxidative aromatization process in good to excellent yields. This method is well tolerated with a diverse broad range of substrates and a complementary approach to currently available synthetic methods.
