Intramolecular Diels–Alder chemistry of pyrroles
Abstract
The 1-pyrrolyl fumarate (5), prepared by condensation of 1-hydroxypyrrole (1a) with trans-3-(methoxycarbonyl)-acryloyl chloride (4), undergoes a facile interamolecular Diels–Alder reaction to give the product (6), the first intramolecular cycloaddition of a pyrrole.
