the presence of metal salts. Imidazoles, pyrroles and new pyrrolinones derivatives are isolated in good overall yields. The role of metal salts was investigated as they can act as Lewis acids or electron donors. Mechanisms are proposed suggesting that imidazoles arise from addition of azirine to imines via radical or ionic mechanism; pyrroles and pyrrolinones are obtained from azirines with enamino
