Metal-mediated synthesis of furans and pyrroles

Abstract

The transition metal catalyzed synthesis of furans and pyrroles is becoming an important and highly rewarding protocol in organic synthesis. This review focuses on the use of transition metal as a catalyst for the synthesis of furans and pyrroles along with their interesting mechanistic aspects. The synthetic efforts in this area will clearly culminate in tackling the major issues pertaining to atom economy and environmentally acceptable technologies for future. ©ARKAT-USA, Inc.
