Abstract An efficient and transition-metal-free method for the synthesis of the structurally diversified pyrroles is described. Various α,β-unsaturated ynones reacted with N-substituted ethyl glycine ethyl ester hydrochlorides in the presence of DBU to form the corresponding products in good yields. This protocol has the advantages of readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions and a wide scope of substrates, which provides a practical route for the synthesis of polysubstituted pyrroles.
