Fast, efficient, mild, and metal-free synthesis of pyrroles by domino reactions in water.
(E)-β-Bromonitrostyrenes react with enaminones in water to afford pyrroles in excellent yields. The domino reaction constitutes a new, mild, and environmentally benign process for the fast and efficient synthesis of diverse pyrroles.
