A new one-pot, transition-metal, acid/base-free domino process is developed for the regioselective synthesis of 1,2,4-trisubstituted pyrroles. The process involves 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of unsymmetrical azomethine ylide resulting from the thermal C-C bond cleavage of unactivated aziridines with β-bromo-β-nitrostyrene, followed by a cascade of elimination and aromatization reaction sequence to preferentially furnish 1,2,4-trisubstituted pyrroles instead of the expected 1,2,3-trisubstituted pyrroles, in good to excellent yields. Further, the application of the methodology for the formal synthesis of ningalin B is delineated.
