title: Direct synthesis of pyrroles via a silver-promoted three-component reaction involving unusual imidazole ring opening.
abstract: A novel silver-promoted three-component reaction toward the synthesis of multifunctionalized pyrroles has been developed. This reaction involves an unusual imidazole ring decomposition, presumably via 1,5-isomerization and subsequent hydrolysis.
