title: Synthesis of pyrroles by gold(I)-catalyzed amino-claisen rearrangement of N-propargyl enaminone derivatives.
abstract: The cationic N-heterocyclic carbene-gold(I) complex catalyzes the formation of tri- and tetrasubstituted pyrroles via the amino-Claisen rearrangement of N-propargyl beta-enaminone derivatives and the cyclization of alpha-allenyl beta-enaminone intermediates.
