Abstract
An efficient simple, metal-free, one-pot protocol for the synthesis of dihydropyrrole
derivatives has been achieved via sequential addition of iodobenzenediacetate and
secondary amine to 2-amino-4H- pyran derivatives. The one-pot protocol proceeds through tandem oxidative functionalization,
rearrangement, and ring contraction to provide an entirely new strategy for the construction
of the dihydropyrrole skeleton.
