Elevating pyrrole derivative synthesis: a three-component revolution

Pyrrole is an essential chemical with considerable relevance as a pharmaceutical framework for many biologically necessary medications. The growing demand for biologically active compounds calls for a simple one-pot method for generating novel pyrrole derivatives. Nots surprisingly, several multicomponent reactions (MCRs) aim to synthesize pyrrole derivatives. However, this review presents the three-component synthesis of pyrrole derivatives, highlighting the significance of multicomponent reaction in synthesizing eclectic multi-functionalised pyrrole covering the selected literature on the three-component synthesis of substituted pyrrole from 2016 to late 2023. Furthermore, this article classifies the reactions based on the starting material with functional groups involved in the pyrrole ring formation.

A new one-pot synthesis of pseudopeptide connected to sulfonamide via the tandem N-sulfonylation/Ugi reactions

In this study, an efficient one-pot reaction is reported for the synthesis of a new class of pseudopeptide connected to sulfonamide via a tandem N-sulfonylation/Ugi four-component reaction (Ugi-4CR) strategy under mild conditions in high yields.

Synthesis of polysubstituted pyrroles via isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions as an efficient synthesis tool

The present review covers all synthetic methods based on isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions for the preparation of polysubstituted pyrroles as the parent cores of many essential drugs, biologically active compounds, and compounds with wide application in materials science.
