A series of aryl-substituted pyrrole derivatives was synthesized from diallylamines through a ruthenium carbene catalyzed ring-closing metathesis reaction and in situ oxidative dehydrogenation reaction catalyzed by FeCl 3·6H2O or CuCl2·2H2O in the presence of O2. The reaction was mild, simple, and convenient. An oxygen atmosphere played a critical role in obtaining high conversion of substituted pyrroles in the proposed catalytic system.

The synthesis of N-aryl, N-tosyl, and N-alkyl pyrrolines from allyl alcohols and amines has been developed. The reaction sequence includes a palladium-catalyzed allylation step in which non-manipulated allyl alcohol is used to generate the diallylated amine in good to excellent yield. An excess of allyl alcohol was necessary for efficient diallylation of the amine, where the excess alcohol could be recycled three times. For aryl and tosyl amines, Pd[P(OPh)3]4 was used and for benzyl and alkyl amines a catalytic system comprising Pd(OAc)2, PnBu3, and BEt3 was used. Both the electronic properties and the steric influence of the amine affected the efficiency of the allylation. The isolated diallylated amines were transformed into their corresponding pyrrolines by ring-closing metathesis catalyzed by (H2IMes)(PCy3)Cl 2RuCHPh in good to excellent yield. A one-pot reaction was developed in which aniline was transformed into the corresponding pyrroline without isolating the diallylated intermediate. This one-pot reaction was successfully scaled-up to 1 mL of aniline in which the N-phenyl pyrroline was isolated in 95% yield. The versatility of the reaction in which 3-methyl-1-phenyl pyrroline was prepared in two-steps was demonstrated.
