A general and selective metal-catalyzed conversion of biomass-derived primary diols and amines to the highly valuable 2,5-unsubstituted pyrroles has been developed. The reaction is catalyzed by a stable nonprecious manganese complex (1 mol %) in the absence of organic solvents whereby water and molecular hydrogen are the only side products. The manganese catalyst shows unprecedented selectivity, avoiding the formation of pyrrolidines, cyclic imides, and lactones.

This work focuses on the design of an engineered thermoplastic polymer containing pyrrole units in the main chain and hydroxyl pendant groups (A-PPy-OH), which help in achieving nanocomposites containing well-distributed, exfoliated and undamaged MWCNTs. The thermal annealing at 100 °C of the pristine nanocomposite promotes the redistribution of the nanotubes in terms of a percolative network, thus converting the insulating material in a conducting soft matrix (60 μΩ m). This network remains unaltered after cooling to r.t. and successive heating cycles up to 100 °C thanks to the effective stabilization of MWCNTs provided by the functional polymer matrix. Notably, the resistivity-temperature profile is very reproducible and with a negative temperature coefficient of -0.002 K-1, which suggests the potential application of the composite as a temperature sensor. Overall, the industrial scale by which A-PPy-OH can be produced offers a straightforward alternative for the scale-up production of suitable polymers to generate multifunctional nanocomposites.
