Abstract

A Cu(I)/TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy)-catalyzed aerobic oxidative dehydrogenative aromatization reaction of fully saturated pyrrolidines to synthesize multi-substituted pyrroles was developed for the first time. The use of a non-precious metal catalyst, green oxidant and environmentally friendly solvent made the reaction more sustainable.
