Synthesis of 5-aryl-2-oxopyrrole derivatives as synthons for highly substituted pyrroles

A small library of 2-oxo-5-(hetero)arylpyrroles was prepared starting from 2,3-dioxo-5-(hetero)arylpyrrolidines. The large synthetic possibilities of these 2-oxopyrroles were investigated. The 2-oxopyrroles offer a large number of possible derivatizations including reactions with electrophiles. The chloroformylation of 2-oxo-5-(hetero)arylpyrroles provides pyrrole carbaldehydes. Some pyrrole carbaldehydes were used to synthesize polycyclic compounds like pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridazinones, a thienopyrrole, a pyrrolobenz[1,4]oxazepine, a pyrrolobenzo[1,4]thiazepine, and a pyrrolobenzo[1,4]diazepine. Hereby we showed through a short exploration that the oxopyrroles and analogues are interesting and versatile synthetic building blocks.

Synthesis of functionalized CF3-containing heterocycles via [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement and sequential catalytic carbocyclization

A new efficient access to functionalized CF₃-substituted and nitrogen or sulfur-containing heterocycles has been developed directly from diazocompounds CF₃C(N₂)Z (Z=CO₂Me, P(O)(OEt)₂). The method is based on the direct selective synthesis of doubly unsaturated substrates followed by metal-mediated carbocylization. The first step has been performed by Cu(II)-catalyzed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of propargyl- or/and allyl-containing sulfur and nitrogen ylides leading to fluorinated enynes, diolefins, and especially allenynes derivatives. The second step involves their carbocyclization via ring closing metathesis and Pauson-Khand reaction.
