Abstract
A synthesis of substituted pyrroles by a gold(I)-catalyzed cascade reaction proceeds via an autotandem catalysis consisting of an initial addition of gold-acetylide to an acetal moiety followed by gold-catalyzed 5-endo-dig cyclization and aromatization. This formal (3 + 2) annulation of two components provides various substituted pyrroles in a modular fashion.
