Abstract
| - An efficient copper-catalyzed double alkenylation of amideswith (1Z,3Z)-1,4-diiodo-1,3-dienes is reported for the firsttime. The reactions proceed to afford di- or trisubstitutedN-acylpyrroles in good to excellent yields using CuI as thecatalyst, Cs2CO3 as the base, and rac-trans-N,N‘-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine as the ligand.
