Abstract
A controllable synthesis of trisubstituted imidazoles and pyrroles has been developed through rhodium(II)-catalyzed regioselective annulation of N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-trizaoles with β-enaminones. The imidazole ring was formed through 1,1-insertion of N-H bond to α-imino rhodium carbene and subsequential intramolecular 1,4-conjugate addition when α-carbon atom of amino group bearing with methyl, whereas utilizing phenyl substituent constructed pyrrole ring via intramolecular nucleophilic addition. Features such as mild conditions, good functional groups tolerance, gram-scale synthesis, and valuable transformations of the products qualified this unique protocol as an efficient tool for the synthesis of N-heterocycles.
