Abstract
In the presence of catalytic CuI and sparteine, 2-formylpyrroles can be annulated with o-aminoiodoarenes to give substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalines and related heterocycles. The reaction also works for annulation of 2-formylindoles, 2-formylimidazole, 2-formylbenzimidazole, and a 3-formylpyrazole.
