General Procedure for Mn(acac) ₃ -Catalyzed Pyrrole Formation from Vinyl Azides and β-Keto Acids: To a solution of α-azido styrene (1a; 52.8 mg, 0.364 mmol) and 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylic acid (2a; 155.2 mg, 1.09 mmol) in DMF (3.6 mL) was added Mn(acac)₃ (12.8 mg, 0.0364 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 5 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with a pH 9 ammonium buffer, and then extracted with Et₂O (2 ×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO₄ and concentrated. Purification of the crude product by flash column chromatography (florisil; hexane-EtOAc = 97:3) afforded 3aa (59.5 mg, 0.302 mmol) in 83% yield.
