A new and efficient method for the preparation of N-protected 5- and 2-substituted 3-bromopyrroles 15 and 16 via acid-catalyzed cyclization of the corresponding acetylenic ketones 6 and acetylenic acetals 14 has been found (Scheme 3). Using this methodology, rapid and quite general access to highly substituted pyrroles, which are known to exhibit a number of interesting biological activities, has been established.
