Abstract

2H-Pyrrol-2-imine is an important structural motif exhibiting in biologically active compounds and natural products. An efficient rhodium-catalyzed one-pot reaction of one vinyl azide with sequentially with two different isocyanides is reported, which offers an alternative facile access to 3-amino-5-aryl-2H-pyrrol-2-imines bearing various substitution on the nitrogens in good yields. An unstable vinylcarbodiimide is the key intermediate in this cascade reaction.
