Abstract

We have developed an organocatalyzed three-component reaction of 1,2-diones, aldehydes and arylamines, which provides an efficient approach to access polysubstituted pyrroles. In the catalysis of 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid monohydrate, the reactions of a wide range of 1,2-diones, arylamines and aldehydes took place smoothly to generate the corresponding polysubstituted pyrroles in acceptable to good yields under mild reaction conditions.
