, p. 475 - 481 (2015)
The investigation of different oxide surfaces revealed that nanoporous silica (MCM-41) had the best catalytic activity for Paal-Knorr pyrrole synthesis. Despite the same composition, MCM-41 proved to be more effective than SiO2 itself, probably due to a significantly higher surface area of the SiO2 nanopores. The important features of this "clean" solvent-free protocol are the ease of recovery and the reuse of the catalyst for several cycles, operational simplicity, and easy product isolation and purification.

An additive-free synthesis of challenging N-substituted aryl pyrroles from the often poorly soluble corresponding 1,4-diketones by means of the Paal-Knorr pyrrole synthesis is reported, which makes use of the unique properties of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as a solvent and reaction promotor. Our procedure offers simple execution and purification as well as easy scale-up and can be applied in the Paal-Knorr synthesis of a large number of structurally diverse pyrroles including the synthetically challenging tetra- and penta-substituted pyrroles in moderate to excellent yields. HFIP can also be used as solvent in the Paal-Knorr synthesis of furans and thiophenes; however, the solvent effect is more pronounced in synthesis of pyrroles.
Synthesis of Fe3O4@L-proline@SO3H as a novel and reusable acidic magnetic nanocatalyst and its application for the synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles at room temperature under ultrasonic irradiation and without solvent

N-Substituted pyrroles have been prepared in high isolated yields (65–90%) by the reaction of hexane-2,5-dione with amines or diamines in the presence of Fe3O4@L-proline@SO3H at ambient temperature under ultrasonic irradiation and without solvent. The experimental procedure involves simple operations, and the products are readily separated by external magnet. The same reaction of hexane-2,5-dione with amines containing electron-acceptor substituents, such as 4-nitroaniline, resulted in fair yields of pyrrole derivatives.

A novel heterogeneous acidic catalyst was prepared by in situ immobilization of amidosulfonic acid (NH2SO3H) on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) under hydrothermal conditions. The textural morphology of NH2SO3H/g-C3N4 nanocomposite was characterized via powder X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, TGA, EDX, and scanning electron microscopy. The spatial arrangement of the amidosulfonic acid on the surface of g-C3N4 leads to the construction of a unique solid acid structure, resulting in a substantial enhancement of catalytic activity toward a high efficient preparation of pyrroles by Paal–Knorr reaction. The reactions undergo completion readily with good to excellent yields, with simple purification in an environmentally friendly manner. The NH2SO3H/g-C3N4 nanocomposite can be readily recycled, and no noteworthy reduction in the catalytic activity detected after four runs. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

The design of cheap yet efficient nanoporous magnetic catalysts for the environmentally benign process's widespread application is an extremely attractive, challenging chemical research field. A novel porous magnetic covalent organic framework was prepared by the condensation reaction of melamine and terephthaladehyde on the surface of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde coated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles COF@Fe3O4 under hydrothermal conditions for the first time. The high surface area magnetic COF could exhibit superior catalytic activity for sustainable synthesis of trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted imidazoles and pyrroles in good to excellent yields in PEG as solvent under environmentally friendly, ambient conditions and making the overall process economical, efficient, and green. The retrievable catalyst in PEG is general and applicable to a broad substrate scope and functional group compatibility. The structure and morphology of the COF@Fe3O4 were characterized by FTIR, XRD, EDX, and SEM spectroscopy. The COF@Fe3O4 magnetic catalyst was recovered by an external magnet and used for several cycles without significant catalytic activity loss.

Abstract: In this study, the viability of a wide range of crystalline aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids as organocatalysts has been investigated for solvent-free Paal–Knorr pyrrole synthesis under microwave activation. Among these potential catalysts, crystalline salicylic acid proved to be a remarkable catalyst because its efficiency remained high even under low microwave power irradiation or a shorter reaction time for the model reaction. The outstanding catalytic activity of salicylic acid allowed the Paal–Knorr cyclocondensation with a turnover frequency up to 1472?h?1 which is unique in the context of a metal-free homogeneous catalysis. The attractive feature of this organocatalyst is its assistance in ultrafast pyrrole synthesis with no risk of metal contamination. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.] Synopsis: A green and expeditious protocol for the synthesis of 2,5-dimethylpyrroles via combination of salicylic acid as catalyst (in its solid state) and microwaves has been introduced.

, p. 1329 - 1335 (2020/01/28)
Fe3O4@SiO2-PTMS-Guanidine-SA nanoparticles used as an effective catalyst for the synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles. Pyrroles were synthesized from the reaction between primary amine derivatives and 2,5-hexanedione with high to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. After completion of the reaction, Fe3O4@SiO2-PTMS-Guanidine-SA magnetic nanoparticles could be recovered easily from the reaction mixture by an external magnet and reused. This catalyst was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and vibrating-sample magnetometry techniques.

With an intention of identifying chalcone derivatives exhibiting anti-protozoal activity, a cohort of relatively unexplored arylpyrrole-based chalcone derivatives were synthesized in moderate to good yields. The resultant compounds were evaluated in vitro for their potential activity against a cultured Trypanosoma brucei brucei 427 strain. Several compounds displayed mostly modest in vitro anti-trypanosomal activity with compounds 10e and 10h emerging as active candidates with IC50 values of 4.09 and 5.11 μM, respectively. More importantly, a concomitant assessment of their activity against a human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa) cell line revealed that these compounds are non-toxic.

1H-Pyrroles can be directly functionalized by means of the incorporation of carbene groups from diazo compounds, in a process catalyzed by TpxCu complexes (Tpx=hydrotrispyrazolylborate ligand). The reactions take place with a complete selectivity toward the formal insertion of the carbene into the Cα?H bond, leading to alkylated pyrroles, with no modification of the Cβ?H, N?H or C=C bonds of the pyrrole unit. Alkyl substituents at C-ring as well as alkyl, aryl, allyl or alkyne substitution at N atom are tolerated, the strategy affording 20 new pyrrole derivatives. The observance of partial deuteration at the methylene group when the reaction is carried out with added D2O serves to discard the direct insertion of the carbene group into the Csp2?H bond, the alternative electrophilic attack to the pyrrole ring being feasible. (Figure presented.).

N-Substituted pyrroles have been prepared in high isolated yields (702-99%) by the reaction of hexane-2,5-dione with amines or diamines in the presence of Fe(ClO4)3/SiO2 at ambient temperature under solvent-free conditions. The experimental procedure involves simple operations, and the products are readily separated by short column chromatography. The same reaction of hexane-2,5-dione with amines containing electron-acceptor substituents, such as 4-nitroaniline, resulted in fair yields of pyrrole derivatives.
