Reactions of 5-aryl-4-acyl-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones with arylamines

The reaction of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-benzoyl-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-one with aromatic amines affords the corresponding 3-arylamino derivatives, and the reactions of 5-aryl-4-acetyl-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones with p-toluidine yield 5-aryl-4-(1-p-tolylamino)ethylene-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyrrolidin-2,3-diones.     

Reactivity of pyrrole pigments. Part 5: Electrophilic substitution—Nitration and bromination—Of some pyrromethenones and 5-arylmethylene-3,4-dimethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones

Some 5-arylmethylene-3,4-dimethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones react with both bromine and nitronium tetrafluoroborate (NO₂BF₄) to give 5-(aryl)nitromethylene-3-pyrrolin-2-ones and 5-(aryl)bromomethylene-3-pyrrolin-2-ones, respectively. The use of bromine in methanol affords 5-(aryl)bromomethyl-3,4-dimethyl-5-methoxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones. Whereas pyrromethenones react mainly on the pyrrole ring, ethyl 3,4-demethyl-5-[(3,4-dimethyl-5-oxo-3-pyrrolin-2-yl)methylene]-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate reacts as the aryl derivatives, however, with bromine in methanol the addition of two methoxy groups at the exocyclic double bond takes place. 3,4-Dimethyl-5-(2-pyridylmethylene)-3-pyrrolin-2-one does not react with bromine or NO₂BF₄, but reacts as the aryl derivatives with bromine in methanol. The reactivity patterns are in agreement with the theoretical ones obtained from MINDO/3 calculations, using theFukui frontier orbital model. The obtained results are used to explain the reactivity of rubins (biladienes-a,c) and verdins (bilatrienes-a,b,c) in front of electrophiles.Einige 5-Arylmethylen-3,4-dimethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-one reagieren sowohl mit Brom als auch mit Nitroniumtetrafloroborat (NO₂BF₄). Man erhält 5-(aryl)bromomethylen-oder 5-(aryl)nitromethylen-3-pyrrolin-2-one. Bei Verwendung einer methanolischen Bromlösung werden 5-(aryl)bromomethyl-3,4-dimethyl-5-methoxy-3-pyrrolin-2-one gebildet. Pyrromethenone reagieren hauptsächlich am Pyrrolring, Ethyl 3,4-dimethyl-5-[(3,4-dimethyl)-5-oxo-3-pyrrolin-2-yl)methylen]-1H-pyrrol-2-carboxylat hingegen verhält sich wie ein Arylderivat, mit methanolischen Bromlösung jedoch erfolgt Eintritt zweier Methoxygruppen an der exocyclischen Doppelbindung.5-(2-Pyridyl)methylen-3,4-dimethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-on reagiert nicht mit Brom oder NO₂BF₄, wohl aber mit einer methanolischen Bromlösung und verhält sich unter diesen Bedingungen wie ein Arylderivat; 3- und 4-Pyridylderivate verhalten sich analog. Die Reaktivität ist in Übereinstimmung mit theoretischen Werten aus MINDO/3-Rechnungen unter Verwendung des Fukui frontier orbital model. Die Reaktivität von Rubinen (Biladiene-a, c) und Verdinen (Bilatriene-a,b,c) gegenüber Elektrophilen werden im Zusammenhang mit den erhaltenen Resultaten diskutiert.

A novel biomimetic route to the 3-acyl-5-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-one and 3-acyl-3,4-epoxy-5-hydroxypyrrolidin-2-one ring systems

Modified Moffat oxidation of alcohols 17, 22, and 25 afforded aldehydes that underwent intramolecular aldol reactions on treatment with a NaOH solution to yield 4-pyrrolin-2-ones 16, 23, and 26. Oxidation with DMDO at -40 degrees C provided 3-acyl-5-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones 18, 24, and 27 with the ring system of oteromycin (3), UCS1025A (5), and related natural products. Further oxidation of 18 yielded 3-acyl-3,4-epoxy-5-hydroxy-pyrrolidin-2-one 19 with the ring system of fusarin C (1) and epolactaene (2). Dehydration of 18 afforded 20 with the talaroconvolutin A (4) ring system.     

Facile one-pot synthesis of 5-aryl/heterylidene-2-(2-hydroxyethyl- and 3-hydroxypropylamino)-thiazol-4-ones via catalytic aminolysis

A multicomponent synthetic approach for 5-aryl/heterylidene-2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)- and 2-(3-hydroxypropylamino)-thiazol-4-ones starting from 2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one or 2-methylsulfanylthiazol-4-one was developed. The proposed method involves simultaneous aminolysis of 2-thioxo- or 2-methylsulfanyl groups and Knoevenagel condensation with (hetero)aromatic aldehydes using 2-aminoethanol or 3-aminopropan-1-ol as catalysts.

A study of the reaction of 2-thiazolin-4-ones with some electrophiles under microwave irradiation versus conventional condition

Coupling of 5-dimethylaminomethylene-3-methyl-2-(pyridine-2-ylimino)-thiazolidin-4-one (3) with diazotized methyl anthranilate afforded the 3-methyl-5-(2-methoxycarbonylphenylhydrazono)-2-pyridine-2-ylimino)thiazolidin-4-one (5). Reaction of 2-(arylamino)thiazol-4-ones 1a,b with arylidenemalononitriles under microwave irradiation gave 2-substituted amino-5-arylidenethiazolin-4-ones 9a–f. Alternatively, compound 9 could also be obtained by reacting compound 1 with aromatic aldehydes. Treatment of compound 9 with acetic acid yielded the corresponding thiazolin-2,4-diones 10.

Reactivity of pyrrole pigments. part 6: Electrochemical reduction of some s(1h)-pyrromethenones and 5-arylmethylene-3,4-dimethyl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones

The electrochemical reduction of some 5(1H)-pyrromethenones and 5-arylmethylene-3-pyrrolin-2-ones in imethylformamide (DMF) has been studied by polarography and by identification of their electrochemical reduction products. The reduction processes observed depend on the presence on the type of supporting electrolyte. LiClO₄ or tetraethyl ammonium perchlorate (TEAP) and, When TEAP is used, they also depend on the presence of Water. Polarographic curves show two monoelectronic diffusion Waves in anhydrous DMF both with LiCIO₄ and with TEAP. The reaction products from (Z)-3,4-dimethyl-5-[(4-methylphenyl)methylene]-3-pyrrolin-2-one and from (Z)-2-[(3,4-dimethyl-5-oxo-3-pyrrolin-2-yl)-methylene]-1H-pyrrole for the electrolysis at controlled potentials and under different experimental conditions have been isolated and identified.In all cases a stereoselective reductive dimerization occurs but, at second wave potentials, the reduction compounds corresponding to the hydrogenation of the exocyclic double bond are also formed. The electrolysis yields can be optimized in order to make the process synthetically useful.
