The combination of VCl<sub>3</sub>(THF)<sub>3</sub> and N, N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aniline (1a) is an efficient catalyst for the [2+2+1] coupling reaction of alkynes and azobenzenes, giving multisubstituted pyrroles. A plausible reaction mechanism involves the generation of a mono(imido)vanadium(III) species as an initiation step, where 1a served as an imido source with concomitant release of 2 equiv of ClSiMe<sub>3</sub>, followed by a reaction with azobenzene to form a catalytically active bis(im ...[more]
