title: I2-catalyzed synthesis of substituted pyrroles from α-amino carbonyl compounds and aldehydes.
abstract: A direct method for the synthesis of 1,3,4-triarylpyrroles was achieved easily from cyclization of α-amino carbonyl compounds and aldehydes catalyzed by I2. Various substituted groups can be employed, and this reaction can proceed smoothly in moderate to good yields.
