                                    We herein describe the synthesis of novel 3-(het)aryl-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrrolizin-8(1H)-ones starting from commercial (het)aryl-acetonitriles. A more convergent route was also described through the first synthesis of ethyl 3-amino-4-bromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate 17. The antiproliferative activities of these compounds were tested toward various cell lines and one of them 10k shows interesting cytotoxic properties, although it was less potent than our lead compound in thiophene series 1k.
