Abstract

Nano-copper(0) stabilized on alumina prepared from Cu–Al hydrotalcite has been reported for completely regioselective synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted pyrroles from unactivated terminal aromatic/aliphatic alkynes and isocyanides. The reaction is operationally simple, involves ligand-free inexpensive nano-copper, and affords products in high yields.
