time-controlled highly selective C3- or C2-sulfinylation of pyrroles with sulfinamides is reported for the first time. The sulfinylation of indoles with sulfinamides using this protocol is oxidant-free and can be performed under obviously more feasible conditions (1.2 equiv. of indoles, 10 min) in comparison with the precedent procedure (3–20 equiv. of indoles, 16–18 h, ammonium persulfate as oxidant, hv).

sulfinylation of indoles with arylsulfinamides in water in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid as a promoter is described. The reaction occurs smoothly at room temperature under environmentally benign conditions without any catalyst, additive, ligand, or organic solvent. The developed sulfoxide synthetic protocol is attractive due to the use of water as the solvent and provides a novel and efficient route to
presence of TMSOTf is reported. Various electron-rich aromatics, including pyrroles, thiophenes, indoles, and electron-rich arenes, with sodium arylsulfinates are converted into the corresponding sulfoxides in moderate to excellent yields. This protocol possesses many advantages such as readily available and stable starting materials, broad substrate scopes, and transition-metal-free reaction conditions

A very effective strategy has been devised for the synthesis of 3-substituted pyrroles based on the use of the triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) moiety as a sterically demanding nitrogen substituent to obstruct the attack of electrophilic reagents at the alpha-positions. 1-(Triisopropylsilyl)pyrrole (1) undergoes highly preferential kinetic electrophilic substitution at the beta-position with a variety of electrophiles (Br+, I+, NO2+, RCO+, etc.) and fluoride ion induced desilylation of the products provides the corresponding 3-substituted pyrroles in good overall yields. Competitive trifluoroacetylation experiments demonstrate that substitution of TIPS-pyrrole at the alpha-positions is decelerated by a factor of > 10(4), vs pyrrole at the same sites, without affecting reactivity at the beta-positions. 1-(Triisopropylsilyl)-3-bromopyrrole (2) is readily converted into the 3-lithio compound 44 by bromine-lithium interchange with alkyllithium reagents. This previously unavailable, formal equivalent of 3-lithiopyrrole is itself an excellent source of a wide range of beta-substituted pyrroles, many of which would not be directly preparable from 1. TIPS-pyrrole can be 3,4-dihalogenated and these compounds undergo sequential halogen-metal interchange trapping reactions. This process is exemplified by an efficient, three-step synthesis of the antibiotic verrucarin E (63) from the dibromo compound 5.
