Novel and efficient supramolecular synthesis of pyrroles in the presence of β-cyclodextrin in water

A simple and efficient synthesis of highly substituted pyrroles was achieved in water medium via multi-component strategy, using amine, DMAD/DEAD as well as phenacyl bromide catalyzed by beta-CD. Utilizing this protocol various pyrrole derivatives were synthesized in good to excellent yields. (C) 2012 Y.V.D. Nageswar. Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Chinese Chemical Society.
