title: Controlled oxidation of pyrroles: synthesis of highly functionalized γ-lactams.
abstract: The oxidation of pyrroles usually leads to uncontrolled polymerization and decomposition. To overcome this problem, the controlled oxidation of substituted pyrroles with Dess-Martin periodinane is reported. This strategy yields a range of 5-aroyloxypyrrolinones.
