title: Synthesis of pyrroles through coupling of enyne-hydrazones with Fischer carbene complexes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The coupling of enyne-imines with Fischer carbene complexes leads to the formation of alkenylpyrrole derivatives. Maximum yields of pyrrole adducts were obtained using N,N-dimethylhydrazones. A mechanism involving alkyne insertion followed by nucleophilic attack of the imine nitrogen at the intermediate alkenylcarbene complex was proposed.
