Abstract
A modular synthesis of selectively‐substituted pyrrolo[2,1‐b]thiazoles (Δ^6^ isomeric form) has been implemented, involving a distinctive bicyclization reaction of a mucobromic acid derivative followed by a Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling. A novel process of Δ^6^ to Δ^7^ isomerization of the pyrrolothiazole structure was uncovered that appears to involve a 1,4‐addition‐1,2‐elimination mechanism. Preparation of 1,5‐dihydropyrrol‐2‐one structures, selectively substituted at the 3‐ and 4‐positions, was also achieved using the mucobromic acid synthon in a reductive amination process. J.
