Abstract
An efficient Fe-catalyzed radical cycloaddition of enamides and 2H-azirines enables the synthesis of substituted pyrroles. The reaction works with readily available starting materials, tolerates various functional groups, and affords valuable triaryl-substituted pyrroles in very good yields under mild reaction conditions.
