We report herein a domino reaction to construct 2-amido-5-fluoropyrroles from CF3-substituted N-allenamides. The in situ generated gem-difluorinated ene-ynamides derived from CF3-substituted N-allenamides, when subjected to silver catalysis with a primary amine, undergo simultaneous hydroamination of the ynamide moiety followed by a 5-endo-trig addition/β-fluoride elimination sequence, enabling the construction of 2-amido-5-fluoropyrroles. This transformation features excellent functional group compatibility. By employing 2-aminophenols, functionalized benzo-oxazoles were produced.
