Abstract
Available N-substituted 2-(acylethynyl)pyrroles undergo room temperature deprotection in the ButOK/THF system to give 2-ethynylpyrroles in 82-92% yields. Quantum-chemical calculations (B2PLYP/6-311G**//B3LYP/6-311G**+C-PCM/THF) show that the cleavage of ethynyl-acyl bond via the proton transfer from ButOK with formation of potassium acylate and 2-methylpropene is thermo-dynamically much more preferred compared to alternative nucleophilic attack of tert-butoxide anion at the acyl carbon (ΔG = -35.1 vs. -2.7 kcal mol-1).
