Recent Literature


An efficient, scalable and mild cyclocarboamination reaction of nonactivated alkynes with aziridines, catalyzed by low loadings of Lewis or Bronsted acids, provides a wide range of polysubstituted 2,3-dihydropyrroles in a highly regioselective manner through a formal [3+2] cycloaddition.
