straightforward, fast, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly synthesis of 1,2,3,4,5-pentasubstituted derivatives of pyrrole, which were produced in one-pot reactions of 3-oxoanilides with hydrazides of carboxylic acids, catalyzed by 10 mol % VOSO4·H2O. The reactions were carried out in ethanol in contact with air as the oxidant. The 19 pyrroles obtained were usually crystalline and did not require purification
We report a phosphine‐catalyzed activation of electron‐deficient vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) to generate an ambident C5 synthon that is poised to undergo consecutive reactions. The utility of the activation is demonstrated in a phosphine‐catalyzed rearrangement of vinylcyclopropylketones to cycloheptenones in good yields with a broad substrate scope. Mechanistic investigations support a stepwise process

Ruthenium(II)-catalyzed reactions of cyclic diazodicarbonyl compounds with β-ketoamides for chemo- and stereoselective construction of cyclohexanone-fused γ-butenolides are described. This study represents the first example of the addition of an enol substrate which is formed by the tautomerization of the β-ketoamides to the electrophilic carbene center for unusual cyclization through amide cleavage
