A general and regioselective synthesis of substituted pyrroles 2 by cycloisomerization of readily available (Z)-(2-en-4-ynyl)amines 1 is reported. Spontaneous cycloisomerization leading to 2 occurred in the course of preparation of enynamines bearing a terminal triple bond or a triple bond substituted with a phenyl or a CH2OTHP group. When the triple bond was substituted with an alkyl or alkenyl group, enynamines were stable and could be converted into the corresponding pyrroles by metal catalysis. CuCl 2 was found to be an excellent catalyst for cycloisomerization of substrates substituted at C-3, while PdX2 in conjunction with KX (X = Cl, I) turned out to be a superior catalyst for the reaction of enynamines unsubstituted at C-3.
