ChemInform Abstract: Unexpected Isocyanide-Based Three-Component Bicyclization for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Densely Functionalized Pyrano[3,4-c]pyrroles.
A novel three-component bicyclization strategy for the efficient synthesis of diversely substituted pyrano[3,4-c]pyrroles is presented starting from readily accessible 3-aroylacrylic acids, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and isocyanides.
