Abstract

This work demonstrates that Dipole-Ugi-Adducts (DUAs) function as versatile, masked 1,3-dipolar synthons. Their structure incorporates two acid-labile protecting groups─an acetal and an amide-protected secondary amine─which sequentially release electrophilic sites under mild acid catalysis, enabling efficient pyrrole synthesis. The DUAs was also used to construct pyrrole-indole hybrids by varying the carbonyl partner. This method offers a practical and modular route to bioactive C2-(N-alkylcarbamoyl)-substituted pyrroles.
