The three-component reaction of 4-phenyl-, p-methoxyphenyl-, and thienylpyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4]benzo-diazepines with methyl propiolate and indole in dichloromethane proceeds through opening of the diazepine ring. The major transformation products isolated are substituted pyrroles, namely, 1-(2-aminomethylphenyl)-5-(arylmethyl)-2-(indol-1(3)-yl)pyrroles and 1-(2-aminomethylphenyl)-2-aryl-(indol-3-yl)-methylpyrroles. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
