A one-pot, three-component cascade reaction between unprotected sugars, primary amines, and 3-oxoacetonitriles gave N-substituted 2,3,5-functionalized pyrroles or N-substituted 2,3,4-functionalized pyrroles in excellent yields and selectivities. The selectivity of the reaction was achieved by simple...
