Light-induced Dehydrodimerization of 3-Hydroxypyrroles

Irradiation (λ > 280 nm) of 3-hydroxy-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates 1 in CH₃CN gives the [2.2′-bi(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrole)]-2-,2′-dicarboxylates 2 in reasonable to good yields. The corresponding N-methylpyrroles 3 only undergo slow photodecomposition under similar conditions. Several 2-methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates 4 and 5 were synthesized to compare their spectral data with those of the dehydrodimers 2 . A X-ray structure analysis was performed for diethyl [2,2′-bi(4,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1 H-pyrrole)]-2,2′-dicarboxylate ( 2b ). The originally proposed [3,3′-bi(3H-pyroole)] structure for compounds 2a - e proves incorrect.     

A study of the friedel-crafts acylation of 1-benzenesulfonyl-1H-pyrrole in the preparation of 3-aroylpyrroles

In this work, we studied the aluminum chloride catalyzed reaction of 1-benzenesulfonyl-1H-pyrrole with a series of eleven aroyl chlorides. The products formed were not isolated, but hydrolyzed to the target 3-aroylpyrroles in overall yields, usually, higher than 50%. However, in the cases with the π electron rich 1-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonyl chloride and 1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbonyl chloride significant C-2 substitution occured, resulting in the isolation of the corresponding 1-benzenesulfonyl-2-aroylpyrroles as the predominant or the sole products. The desired C-3 isomers were synthesized starting with 1-triisopropylsilanyl-1H-pyrrole.

Features of three-centered hydrogen bonding in di(vinylpyrrolyl)pyridine and di(vinylpyridyl)-pyrrole from the ab initio calculation data and QTAIM analysis

Within the calculation at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level and QTAIM analysis the structural investigation of 2,6-bis-[2-(1H-pyrrole-2-yl)-vinyl]-pyridine and 2,5-bis-[2-(pyridine-2-yl)-vinyl]-1H-pyrrole is performed. It is found that a symmetric three-centered hydrogen bond forms in the first molecule. The components of this bond are substantially weakened in comparison with the two-centered hydrogen bond in the Z-isomer of 2-[2-(1H-pyrrole-2-yl)-vinyl]-pyridine. This weakening is due to the steric interaction of two hydrogen bond donors. At the same time, more rigid steric conditions for the formation of a three-centered interaction in 2,5-bis-[2-(pyridine-2-yl)-vinyl]-1H-pyrrole results in actual dissociation of one of the components of the three-center hydrogen bond accompanied by the strengthening of the retained component. This provides the possibility of rocking vibrations of the hydrogen bond in the latter case due to the alternate entrance of hydrogen bond acceptors into the coordination sphere of the hydrogen atom.

Novel heterocyclic systems. Synthesis of 10H-Pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,5]-benzothiadiazocine 5,5-dioxide and related derivatives

The synthesis of 10H-pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,5]benzothiadiazocine 5,5-dioxide has been carried out by intramolecular cyclization of 1-(2-formamidomethylphenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole, prepared from the reaction of 1-(2-aminomethylphenylsulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole with ethyl formate.

Structure determination of some C4H5N+˙ Ions from substituted pyridines by collisionally activated dissociation mass spectrometry

A standard procedure for recording and correcting collisionally activated dissociation mass spectra is proposed, and used to distinguish between the C₄H₅N^+˙ ions formed from hydroxy- and amino-pyridines after loss of CO and HCN, respectively. It is concluded that these ions are cyclic. From the 4-isomers the 3H-pyrrole ion is formed whereas from 2-hydroxypyridine the 1H-pyrrole ion is formed. In the other cases, mixtures of 2H- and either 1H- or 3H-pyrrole ions are generated, depending on the nature of the precursor.     

Preparation,proton and carbon-13 structure determination,and fungicidal activity of chlorinated 1-arylamino-1H-pyrrole-2,5-diones

1-(2′,4′-dichloro)phenylamino-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione and 1-(2′,4′,6′-trichloro)phenylamino-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione were prepared via direct chlorination of 2-phenyl-3-oxo-6-hydroxy-2H-pyridazine. Both pmr and mass spectroscopy clearly showed that dichloro substitution occurred in the aromatic moiety and not in the vinylic region of the molecule. The former method showed that pyridiazine- to pyrrole-ring isomerization had occurred already at the level of dichlorination. The identical 2′,4′-dichlorophenyl and 2′,4′,6′-trichlorophenylpyr-rolediones were also prepared by reaction of maleic anhydride with the appropriate arylhydrazine. Similar 2′,4-dichlorophenyl and 2′,4′,6′-trichlorophenyl analogues were prepared using dichloromaleic anhydride. Cmr spectroscopic techniques were used for pyridazine-/pyrrole-ring stereochemical assignment of products derived from dichloromaleic anhydride. 1-(2′,4′-dichloro)phenylamino-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione and the trichloro-phenyl analogue were shown to exhibit fungicidal activity in both in-vivo and in-vitro assays.

Pyrrolopyridazine nucleosides. The synthesis of certain 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones

Nucleosides of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones were prepared by the single-phase sodium salt glycosylation of appropriately functionalized pyrrole precursors. The glycosylation of the sodium salt of ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 4 ), or its azomethino derivative 7 , with 1-bromo-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose in acetonitrile afforded the corresponding substituted pyrrole nucleosides ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 5 ) and ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-phenylazomethino-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 8 ), respectively. The latter, upon treatment with hydrazine, afforded the annulated product 2,3-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 6 ), in good yield. The unsubstituted analog 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 9 ), was obtained upon catalytic dehalogenation of 6 . This report represents the first example of the synthesis of nucleosides of pyrrolopyridazines.     

One-pot,three-component synthesis of spiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoline-10,3′-pyrroles] via the Hantzsch-type reaction of 1H-pyrrole-2,3-diones

A new methodology for the synthesis of spiro[indeno[1,2-b]quinoline-10,3′-pyrrole] derivatives via a Hantzsch-type reaction has been developed. This process involves the one-pot, three-component reaction of a 1H-pyrrole-2,3-dione, an aminocyclohexenone and 1,3-indanedione in acetic acid at reflux. Operationally simple, metal-free reaction conditions, simplicity of product isolation and good yields are key advantages of this methodology.
