Abstract
Cross-coupling of NH-pyrroles with 1-bromo-2-(trifluoroacetyl) acetylene in the Al2O3 medium affords (E)-4-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoro-4-(pyrrol-2-yl)but-3-en-2-ones instead of the expected 2-ethynylated products. Quantum-chemical analysis shows strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding between NH and trifluoroacetyl groups, higher NH acidity and deeper charge transfer to the ethenyl moiety, which determines the reaction pathway.
