Abstract: | Knorr-type condensation of cyclododecanone, cyclopentadecanone, and cyclohexadecanone with phenylhydrazones derived from acetoacetate esters in the presence of zinc dust at elevated temperatures gave the corresponding large ring cycloalka[b]pyrroles in excellent yields. A cyclohexadeca[b]pyrrole was reacted with lead tetraacetate to give an acetate derivative, and this condensed with α-unsubstituted pyrroles in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid in acetic acid to give a series of related dipyrrolic structures. Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl ester protective groups, followed by ‘2+2’ condensations with dipyrrylmethane dialdehydes, gave unusual cycloalkanoporphyrins with 16-membered exocyclic rings. When an alkyl group is situated next to the carbocyclic ring, proton NMR spectroscopy indicates that the conformational mobility of the carbocyclic unit is severely restricted. |
