Multiple deprotonations and deaminations of phenethylamines to synthesize pyrroles.
A unique method was discovered to construct polysubstituted pyrroles via an unprecedented multiple deprotonations/deaminations process from commercially available phenethylamines. During this transformation, twelve bonds were broken and five new bonds were constructed.
