The formal cycloaddition of α‐metallated methyl isocyanides 1 onto the triple bond of electron‐deficient acetylenes 2 represents a direct and convenient approach to oligosubstituted pyrroles 3 . The scope and limitations of this reaction (24 examples, 25–97 % yield) are reported along with an optimization of the reaction conditions and a rationalization of the mechanism. In addition, a related newly developed Cu I ‐mediated synthesis of 2,3‐disubstituted pyrroles by the reaction of copper acetylides derived from unactivated terminal alkynes with substituted methyl isocyanides is described (11 examples, 5–88 %yield).
