title: Synthesis of functionalized pyrroles via gold(I)-catalyzed aza-Claisen-type rearrangement.
abstract: Gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization of pentenynyl allyl tosylamides allows the rapid construction of functionalized pyrroles. The concerted aza-Claisen-type mechanism induces a complete selectivity of the process and allows the easy formation of quaternary centers.
