Abstract

A cyclization reaction between enamides and alkynes catalyzed by palladium(ii) acetate is described. In this method, the molecular oxygen serves as an efficient oxidant for the Pd(II)/Pd(0) catalytic cycle. The simple reaction conditions permit this methodology to be used as a general tool for the preparation of multi-substituted pyrroles.
