A one-step synthesis of novel functionalized 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrroles from 2-isocyanoacetates and readily synthesized acrylonitriles is reported. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions with high efficiency. The structures of two representative structures, 3a and 3m, were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

A modular approach to a wide range of 1-cyano-3-(hetero)arylindolizines through aldol-cyclopropanation-oxidative cycloisomerization is described where DDQ was utilized for the regioselective synthesis of the pyrrole units from cyclopropyl pyridines for the first time. A key to success is regioselective oxidation of benzylic position by DDQ, which enabled us to access to one regioisomer out of two possible
