title: Copper-catalyzed multicomponent reaction: facile access to functionalized 5-arylidene-2-imino-3-pyrrolines.
abstract: The synthesis of a novel class of 2-imino-5-arylidene-3-pyrrolines via a copper-catalyzed multicomponent reaction of sulfonyl azides with alkynes and aziridines is described. The protocol is efficient and general.
