Reaction of the pyrrolone (2) with N-, C-, and halogen-electrophiles takes place at the 4-position to give the azo compounds (3)-(5), the 'methylene Meldrum's' derivative (12) and the halogeno derivatives (16)-(18).Reductive cleavage of the azo compound (5) gives a convenient route to the 4-aminopyrrolone (7), which may be diazotized and coupled with 2-naphthol.Decomposition of the Meldrum's derivative (12) with base leads to the malonates (13) and (14) and acrylate (15).Deuterium exchange at the 5-position takes place when the halogeno compounds (16)-(18) are treated with methoxide in methanol: the 5-anion is thought to be an intermediate.Protodehalogenation of the 4-bromo- and 4-iodo-derivatives (17) and (18) occurs on treatment with triphenylphosphine.
