title: Alkenyl C-H insertion of iodonium ylides into pyrroles: studies toward the total syntheses of tolmetin and amtolmetin guacil.
abstract: The thermal-catalyzed or photochemical reaction of iodonium ylides with pyrroles yields exclusively alpha-substituted pyrroles in moderate to good yields. [reaction: see text]
