Pyrrole was first detected by F. F. Runge in 1834, as a constituent of coal tar. [8] In 1857, it was isolated from the pyrolysate of bone. Its name comes from the Greek pyrrhos (πυρρός, "reddish, fiery"), from the reaction used to detect it—the red color that it imparts to wood when moistened with hydrochloric acid. [9]
In organic chemistry, the Bohlmann–Rahtz pyridine synthesis is a reaction that generates substituted pyridines in two steps, first a condensation reaction between an enamine and an ethynylketone to form an aminodiene intermediate, which after heat-induced E/Z isomerization undergoes a cyclodehydration to yield 2,3,6-trisubstituted pyridines.
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) .
The reaction employs an organic acidic medium such as acetic acid or propionic acid as typical reaction solvents. Alternatively p-toluenesulfonic acid or various Lewis acids can be used with chlorinated solvents. The aldehyde and pyrrole are heated in this medium to afford modest yields of the meso tetrasubstituted porphyrins [RCC 4 H 2 N] 4 H 2.
Pyrrole Ring. The Paal–Knorr reaction is quite versatile. In all syntheses almost all dicarbonyls can be converted to their corresponding heterocycle. R2 and R5 can be H, aryl or alkyl. R3 and R4 can be H, aryl, alkyl, or an ester. In the pyrrole synthesis (X = N), R1 can be H, aryl, alkyl, amino, or hydroxyl. [9]
A library of substituted pyrrole analogs can be quickly produced by using continuous flow chemistry (reaction times of around 8 min.). [10] The advantage of using this method, as opposed to the in-flask synthesis, is that this one does not require the work-up and purification of several intermediates, and could therefore lead to a higher ...
Examples of non-basic nitrogen-containing aromatic rings are pyrrole and indole. In the oxygen- and sulfur-containing aromatic rings, one of the electron pairs of the heteroatoms contributes to the aromatic system (similar to the non-basic nitrogen-containing rings), whereas the second lone pair extends in the plane of the ring (similar to the ...
Pyrrolidine is prepared industrially by the reaction of 1,4-butanediol and ammonia at a temperature of 165–200 °C and a pressure of 17–21 MPa in the presence of a cobalt-and nickel oxide catalyst, which is supported on alumina. [5]
