Palladium-catalysed cross-coupling and related reactions involving pyrroles

The Pd0-catalysed cross-coupling of intact pyrroles with various reaction partners is reviewed. Coverage includes the Buchwald-Hartwig, carbonylation, Heck, Kumada, Negishi, Sonogashira, Stille, Suzuki-Miyaura, Tsuji-Trost, and (Pd0-catalysed) Ullmann reactions. Some emphasis is given to the application of such processes in the synthesis of pyrrole-containing natural products.
