In reaction with acetylene (80 - 110 deg C, potassium hydroxide, dimethyl sulfoxide) the oximes of α- and β-hydroxy ketones R(Me)C=NOH, where R = HOCH2 (I), EtOCH2 (II), HOCH2(Me)CH (III), CH2=CHOCH2(Me)CH (IV), and Me(Me)(OH)CCH2 (V), give low yields mainly of a mixture of pyrroles not containing an oxygen atom.The following compounds were identified in the mixtures by GLC, TLC, and PMR and IR spectroscopy (compound No. of oxime and the pyrroles from which it was obtained): (II), 1-vinyl-2-methylpyrrole and 1-vinyl-2-ethoxymethylpyrrole; (III), 1-vinyl-2,3-dimethylpyrrole and 1-vinyl-2-(2-propenyl)pyrrole; (IV), 1-vinyl-2-(2-propenyl)pyrrole; (V), 1-vinyl-2-methylpyrrole.In the case of oxime (I) it was not possible to identify the pyrroles in the reaction mixture.The structures of the anomalous products are consistent with the theories that α-carbanions play an important role in the formation of the pyrrole ring from ketoximes and acetylene in the potassium hydroxide - DMSO system.
