General Transition Metal-Free Synthesis of NH-Pyrroles from Secondary Alcohols and 2-Aminoalcohols

A novel, transition metal-free and one-pot methodology to synthesize various substituted NH-pyrroles from readily available building blocks such as secondary alcohols and 2-aminoalcohols is described. The process is based on the venerable Oppenauer-Woodward oxidation, which uses benzophenone as an inexpensive reagent to achieve oxidation of secondary alcohols under mild condition to ketones, further in situ condensation with aminoalcohol, and oxidative cyclization to the target pyrrole ring. The reaction occurs under basic conditions, and features a broad substrate scope combined with very good tolerance for sensitive functional groups. This method can be used to synthesize various substituted pyrroles useful as a starting material for broad applications.

Synthesis of pyrrole derivatives by the heck-type cyclization of γ,δ-unsaturated ketone O-pentafluorobenzoyloximes

Substituted pyrroles are synthesized from γδ-unsaturated ketone O-pentafluorobenzoyloximes by the intramolecular Heck-type amination of the olefinic moiety catalyzed by Pd(PPh3)4.

Photochemical Nitrogen Extrusion of 5-Amino-1-vinyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,3-triazoles. Formation of Unusual Pyrroles

Photolysis of 4-alkyl-5-amino-1-vinyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,3-triazoles gave not 3-alkylpyrroles, but unexpected 2-alkylpyrroles in 80-83percent yields. 1-Vinylaziridines were assumed as a possible intermediate of this unusual pyrrole formation.In the photol

Nickel-Catalyzed Double Dehydrogenative Coupling of Secondary Alcohols and β-Amino Alcohols to Access Substituted Pyrroles

Herein, we demonstrate the first nickel-catalyzed double dehydrogenative condensation of secondary alcohols and β-amino alcohols in one pot to the pyrrole derivatives. A series of 2,5- and 2,3,5-substituted pyrroles were obtained in ≤83% yield, releasing

A Synthetic Methodology for Pyrroles from Nitrodienes

Palladium complexes containing the ligand 4,7-dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline have been used to catalyze the reductive cyclization of nitrodienes using carbon monoxide as the reductant to give pyrroles. Carbon dioxide was the only stoichiometric byproduct of the reaction. The yields were good and the starting materials can be easily synthesized in two steps by a cross-aldol condensation reaction followed by a Henry reaction. Different substitution patterns are tolerated by this novel synthetic strategy.

A nitrogen-ligated nickel-catalyst enables selective intermolecular cyclisation of β- And γ-amino alcohols with ketones: Access to five and six-membered N-heterocycles

Owing to the great demand for the synthesis of N-heterocycles, development of new reactions that utilise renewable resources and convert them into key chemicals using non-precious base metal-catalysts is highly desirable. Herein, we demonstrated a sustainable Ni-catalysed dehydrogenative approach for the synthesis of pyrroles, pyridines, and quinolines by the reaction of β- and γ-amino alcohols with ketones via C-N and C-C bond formations in a tandem fashion. A variety of aryl, hetero-aryl, and alkyl ketones having free amine, halide, alkyl, alkoxy, alkene, activated benzyl, and pyridine moieties were converted into synthetically interesting 2,3 and 2,3,5-substituted bicyclic as well as tricyclic N-heterocycles with up to 90% yields. As a highlight, we demonstrated the synthesis of an interesting pyrrole derivative by intermolecular cyclisation of a steroid hormone with phenylalaninol.

NNN-Ruthenium Catalysts for the Synthesis of Pyridines, Quinolines, and Pyrroles by Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Condensation

The bidentate ruthenium complex (HO-C5H3N-CO-C5H3N-C5H4N)Ru(CO)2Cl2 (2) could transform to a tridentate product (HO-C5H3N-CO-C5H3N-C5H4N)Ru(CO)Cl2 (3), which further reacted with CH3ONa in the presence of PPh3 to convert to two complexes [(OC5H3N-CO-C5H3N-C5H4N)Ru(PPh3)2(CO)]Cl- (4) and [(OC5H3N-CO-C5H3N-C5H4N)Ru(PPh3)(CO)Cl] (5), via -OH deprotonation. The catalytic coupling cyclizations of secondary alcohols with amino alcohols were investigated, and complex 3 exhibited the highest activity. The coupling reactions proceeded in air with only 0.2 mol % catalyst loading and had a broad scope for the synthesis of pyridines, quinolones, and pyrroles.

Manganese-Catalyzed Sustainable Synthesis of Pyrroles from Alcohols and Amino Alcohols

The development of reactions that convert alcohols into important chemical compounds saves our fossil carbon resources as alcohols can be obtained from indigestible biomass such as lignocellulose. The conservation of our rare noble metals is of similar importance, and their replacement by abundantly available transition metals, such as Mn, Fe, or Co (base or nonprecious metals), in key technologies such as catalysis is a promising option. Herein, we report on the first base-metal-catalyzed synthesis of pyrroles from alcohols and amino alcohols. The most efficient catalysts are Mn complexes stabilized by PN5P ligands whereas related Fe and Co complexes are inactive. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions at catalyst loadings as low as 0.5 mol %, and has a broad scope and attractive functional-group tolerance. These findings may inspire others to use Mn catalysts to replace Ir or Ru complexes in challenging dehydrogenation reactions.

Substituted pyrrole synthesis from nitrodienes

Though the Cadogan-Sundberg approach has been employed to synthesize a variety of indole and carbazole derivatives from nitroarenes, surprisingly, very little is reported for making pyrroles using the same approach from non-arene nitrodienes. Herein, we report a general method to synthesize substituted pyrroles, in one step with modest yields, from nitrodienes using triphenylphosphine in the presence of an Mo catalyst, bis(acetylaceto)dioxomolybdenum (VI). To shed light on the mechanism of this reaction, we performed DFT calculations using uB3LYP/6-31+G(d) basis set and observed that the reaction favors a path through a nitrene intermediate.

A Versatile Ru(II)-NNP Complex Catalyst for the Synthesis of Multisubstituted Pyrroles and Pyridines

A pincer-type Ru(II)-NNP complex bearing a pyrazolyl-(NH-PtBu2)-pyridine ligand was synthesized and structurally characterized by NMR, IR, elemental analysis, and X-ray single-crystal crystallographic determinations, which efficiently catalyzed the synthesis of multisubstituted pyrroles and pyridines by means of the reactions of secondary alcohols and β- or γ-amino alcohols through deoxygenation and selective C-N and C-C bond formation. The coupling reactions took place with 0.3 mol % catalyst loading and tolerated diverse functional groups. The present work provides an alternative method to construct highly active transition-metal complex catalysts from readily available ligands.
