Abstract
A green organic reaction of aliphatic primary amines with 1,3-diketones promoted by 30% aqueous H2O2 has been developed. It provides an inexpensive, regioselective, and efficient approach to 1H-pyrrol-3(2H)-ones with high yields from the simple and readily available starting materials in one pot via multicomponent tandem cyclization reactions and C-C cleavage under very mild and environmentally friendly reaction conditions.
