Facile synthesis of N-(arylsulfonyl)-4-ethoxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrolle-2,3-dicarboxylates by one-pot three-component reaction

Three-component reaction of arylsulfonamides, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and ethyl chlorooxoacetate promoted by triphenylphosphine and triethylamine provides a sufficient route for the synthesis of dialkyl N-(arylsulfonyl)-4-ethoxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrolle-2,3-dicarboxylates in good yields.
