Synthesis and properties of enamine derivatives of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-5-pyrrolone and 5-thiopyrrolone

The corresponding dimethylaminomethylene derivative, from which a number of similar compounds were synthesized by reaction with amines, was obtained by the reaction of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-2-hydroxy-5-oxotetrahydropyrrole with dimethylformamide in the presence of phosphorous oxychloride. The formyl derivatives of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-5-pyrrolone and 5-thiopyrrolone were obtained, and the UV and IR spectra of the enamines of these compounds were studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 791–793, June, 1972.
