Synthesis of 2-benzoylethynylpyrroles by cross coupling of 2-arylpyrroles with 1-benzoyl-2-bromoacetylene over aluminum oxide

Cross coupling of 2-arylpyrrole with benzoylbromoacetylene over aluminum oxide at room temperature gave 45–94% of 2-(benzoylethynyl)-5-arylpyrroles. Intermediate 2-(2-benzoyl-1-bromoethenyl)-5-arylpyrroles were isolated in up to 19% yield. The reaction was accompanied by formation of less than 5% of adducts of the initial pyrroles with the cross-coupling products, 2-benzoyl-1,1-bis(5-arylpyrrol-2-yl)ethenes.

Synthesis and X-Ray Diffraction Study of 2-(2-Acyl-1-phenylethenyl)pyrroles

Pyrroles add to 2-acyl-1-phenylacetylenes on the surface of silicon dioxide at 20-90°C affording structurally stable Z-isomers of 2-(2-acyl-1-phenylethenyl)pyrroles containing a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond. The geometry of these molecules was established by X-ray diffraction analysis of a single crystal of 2-(2-benzoyl-1-phenylethenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole.

Strong intramolecular hydrogen bond N—H...O in 2-(2-acyl-1-phenylethenyl)-5-phenylpyrroles

The molecular structure of 2-(2-benzoyl-1-phenylethenyl)-5-phenylpyrrole and 2-(2-furoyl-1-phenylethenyl)-5-phenylpyrrole was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis at 110 K and quantum chemistry methods (B3LYP/6-31G*). In the crystalline state, both compounds have cyclic structures closed by strong intramolecular hydrogen bond N—H...O. Canonic zwitterionic structure contributes largely to the ground state of the molecules. This is probably due to synergism of the H-bonding and π-electron interactions.

Pyrroles as C-nucleophiles in reactions with acylacetylenes

The reactions of substituted pyroles with terminal acylacetylenes occur selectively to form 2-(Z/E-2-acylvinyl)pyrroles. When the reactions are performed on the surface of silica gel,C-vinylation is noticeably accelerated to form predominantlyE-isomers. ESR spectroscopy with the use of a spin trap demonstrated the ion-radical character of the process. The structures of the adducts synthesized, which exist asanti-s-cis- andsyn-s-cis-rotomers, were studied by IR, UV, and NMR spectroscopy.

Solvatochromism of heteroaromatic compounds: XVIII. Reversible effect of the medium on the UV spectra of 2-(2-benzoyl-1-phenylethenyl)-5-phenylpyrrole

Theoretical (B3LYP/6-31G*) and experimental (NMR, UV, and IR spectroscopy) data on the electronic and steric structure of 2-(2-benzoyl-1-phenylethenyl)-5-phenylpyrrole have been analyzed in the context of the hypothesis of the zwitter ionic nature of its ground state. The molecule involves a strong NH···O bond, and its ground state can be described as a hybrid of the neutral and zwitter ionic canonical forms; this conclusion was confirmed by the observation of a reversible medium effect on the electronic absorption spectrum of the substrate.

Synthesis of 3-[5-(biphenyl-4-yl)pyrrol-2-yl]-1-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ones by palladium-free cross-coupling between pyrroles and haloalkynes on aluminum oxide

Cross-coupling of 2-(biphenyl-4-yl)pyrroles derived from 1-(biphenyl-4-yl)ethanone oximes and acetylene with 3-bromo-1-phenylprop-2-yn-1-one on aluminum oxide gave 3-[5-(biphe-nyl-4-yl)pyrrol-2-yl]-1-phenylprop-2-yn-1-ones in 35–46% yields.

1H and 13C NMR Study of Steric and Electronic Structure of 2-(2-Acylethenyl)-1-vinylpyrroles

According to the 1H and 13C NMR data, the molecule of 2-(2-benzoylethenyl)-1-vinylpyrrole has a nearly planar structure with trans arrangement of the vinyl and oxovinyl groups. The unsaturated fragments give rise to effective conjugation. The vinyl group in 5-substituted 2-(2-acylethenyl)-1-vinylpyrroles strongly deviates from the heteroring plane because of steric effect of the substituent; however, this effect does not change the arrangement of the other unsaturated fragments.

Reactions of Pyrrole-1- and Pyrrole-2-carbodithioates with Activated Acetylenes

Pyrrole-1- and pyrrole-2-carbodithioates react with activated alkenes (KOH-DMSO, room temperature) along the nucleophilic addition mechanism regio- and stereospecifically to afford pyrrole-1-and pyrrole-2-carbodithioethenes. The adducts of pyrrole-2-carbodithioates under the reaction conditions undergo intramolecular cyclization into pyrrolothiazoles derivatives.

Synthesis and IR spectra of 5-phenyl-2-(1-phenyl-2-trichloroacetylethenyl)pyrrole

Abstract5-Phenyl-2-(1-phenyl-2-trichloroacetylethenyl)pyrrole was synthesized by the reaction of 2-phenylpyrrole with 1-phenyl-2-trichloroacetylacetylene on silicon oxide. The structure of an intramolecular proton-transfer H-complex was assigned to the title compound based on analysis of its IR spectra in solutions in the temperature range of 165–298 K.
