A series of novel N-substituted pyrrole derivatives have been designed and synthesized following ultrasound-assisted and bismuth nitrate-catalyzed eco-friendly route. This reaction has also provided a general method to prepare diverse varieties of N-substituted pyrroles with less nucleophilic polyaromatic amines. Based on 1H NMR spectroscopy, a plausible mechanistic pathway has been advanced. Cytotoxicity of some selected N-substituted pyrrole derivatives has been evaluated in vitro in a panel of mammalian cancer cell lines which includes liver cancer cell lines (HepG2 and Hepa1-6), colon cancer cell lines (HT-29 and Caco-2), a cervical cancer cell line (HeLa) and NIH3T3 cells. Two compounds, 5-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline (9) and 1-(phenanthren-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (10) have shown good cytotoxicity against some cancer cell lines. Furthermore, these compounds have exhibited cytotoxic specificity against liver cancer cell lines in vitro when compared with normal cultured primary hepatocytes.
The Protecting-Directing Role of the Trityl Group in Syntheses of Pyrrole Derivatives: Efficient Preparations of 1-H-Pyrrole-3-carboxylic Acid and 3-Acyl, 3-Amino, and 3-Bromo-1-tritylpyrroles

Trifluoroacetylation, formylation, and bromination of 1-tritylpyrrile occur regioselectively at the 3-position in high yields.Quantitative hydrolysis of the 3-trifluoroacetyl derivative and removal of the trityl group from the resulting acid with sodium in liquid ammonia furnishes a new, short, high-yielding synthessis of the simple 1-H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid. 1-Tritylpyrrole-3-carboxylic acid has been converted efficiently into 3-aminopyrroles via Curtius rearrangement of the derived azide: 3-amino-1-tritylpyrrole appears to exist in solution exclusively as its imino-Δ4-pyrroline tautomer. 1-H-3-t-Butyloxycarbonylaminopyrrole udergoes trifluoroacetylation regioselectively at the 2-position.Metallation of 1-tritylpyrrole with butyl-lithium in hexamethylphosphoric triamide gives rise to the unexpected products 9-phenylfluorene, 1-methoxycarbonylpyrrole and methyl triphenylmethylacetate (after work-up of the lithio-intermediates with carbon dioxide and methylation of the resulting acids).
