Pyrrole is an extremely weak base for an amine, with a conjugate acid pK a of −3.8. The most thermodynamically stable pyrrolium cation (C 4 H 6 N +) is formed by protonation at the 2 position. Substitution of pyrrole with alkyl substituents provides a more basic molecule—for example, tetramethylpyrrole has a conjugate acid pK a of +3.7.
A generalization of the Hantzsch pyrrole synthesis was developed by Estevez, et al. [7] In this reaction highly substituted pyrroles can be synthesized in a one-pot reaction, with relatively high yields (60% - 97%). This reaction involves the high-speed vibration milling (HSVM) of ketones with N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) and p-toluenesulfonic acid ...
The Trofimov reaction is a powerful reaction for building pyrroles in total synthesis. The starting ketoxime can be prepared simply by condensing hydroxylamine on a ketone. Starting from a ketone allows for a wide range of starting materials as ketones are one of the most common functional groups in organic chemistry.
The Knorr pyrrole synthesis is a widely used chemical reaction that synthesizes substituted pyrroles (3). [1] [2] [3] The method involves the reaction of an α-amino-ketone (1) and a compound containing an electron-withdrawing group (e.g. an ester as shown) α to a carbonyl group (2).

Methyl ketone self-condensation is a side-reaction which can be avoided through the addition of TiCl 4 [12] into the reaction mixture (to act as a water scavenger). [13] [14] An example of an aldehyde reacting with a secondary amine to form an enamine via a carbinolamine intermediate is shown below: Enamine synthesis with a carbinolamine ...
Reaction mechanism for the amine formation from a carboxylic acid via Schmidt reaction. In the reaction mechanism for the Schmidt reaction of ketones, the carbonyl group is activated by protonation for nucleophilic addition by the azide, forming azidohydrin 3, which loses water in an elimination reaction to diazoiminium 5.
The Mannich reaction starts with the nucleophilic addition of an amine to a carbonyl group followed by dehydration to the Schiff base. The Schiff base is an electrophile which reacts in a second step in an electrophilic addition with an enol formed from a carbonyl compound containing an acidic alpha-proton.
Amine. In chemistry, amines (/ ə ˈ m iː n, ˈ æ m iː n /, [1] [2] UK also / ˈ eɪ m iː n / [3]) are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair.Formally, amines are derivatives of ammonia (NH 3 (in which the bond angle between the nitrogen and hydrogen is 170°), wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an ...
