Abstract

Drastic changes to the character of the acidic catalyst enable the reversal of the double alkyne benzannulation reaction output. In the presence of a strong Brønsted acid, 1,4-dihydropyrrolopyrroles undergo transformation which results in the formation of two 7-membered rings. Computational studies imply that the thermodynamically unfavored 7-membered ring is forged via the kinetically favored attack of a protonated alkyne at the position 3a of pyrrolopyrrole followed by a 1,2-vinyl shift.
