2,5-Dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates are important building blocks for the synthesis of high value pyrroles and pyrroloquinoline derivatives with interesting biological activities. The use of continuous flow allowed us to perform a key synthetic step, namely ruthenium-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis, with a residence time of 1 min at 120 °C. Dimethyl carbonate, a green solvent, was demonstrated for the first time to be an excellent solvent for this reaction in continuous flow. The continuous flow conditions proved to be general and the scale-up of this reaction was not only possible, but also highly efficient. Conversion of 10 grams of diene was realized in 37 minutes under continuous flow, yielding the desired heterocycle in 91% yield.
A Novel [3+2] Cycloaddition Approach to Nitrogen Heterocycles via Phosphine-Catalyzed Reactions of 2,3-Butadienoates or 2-Butynoates and Dimethyl Acetylenedicarboxylate with Imines: A Convenient Synthesis of Pentabromopseudilin

The reactivity of a new three carbon synthon, generated in situ from the reaction of 2,3-butadienoates 2-butynoates with an appropriate phosphine as the catalyst, toward the electron-deficient imines is described. Triphenylphosphine-catalyzed reaction of methyl 2,3-butadienoate with N-sulfonylimines gave the single [3+2] cycloadduct in excellent yield; tributylphosphine-catalyzed reaction of methyl 2,3-butadienoate or 2-butynoate with N-tosylimines afforded the corresponding [3+2] cycloadduct as the major product along with a small amount of the three components adduct. Aliphatic N-tosylimines gave moderate yield for this reaction. In addition, a new phosphine-catalyzed cyclization reaction of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate with N-tosylimines is also described. A reaction mechanism is proposed. Further elaborations of the cycloaddition products and the synthesis of pentabromopseudilin using this method are exemplified.
