Abstract
An intramolecular oxidative aza-annulation of enynyl azides provides pyrroles bearing a 2-keto or formyl group via sequential carbon-nitrogen/carbon-oxygen bond formations in the presence of catalytic amounts of AuCl3 and AgSbF6. The required enynyl azides are readily prepared from Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) acetates of acetylenic aldehydes.
