A simple and efficient synthesis of some polyfunctionalized pyrrole derivatives by a triphenylphosphine-promoted condensation reaction between dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, arylglyoxals, and ammonium acetate is described. This present  method carries several advantages, such as good yields, a simple procedure, non-hazardous reaction conditions and starting from easily accessible...

The four-component reaction of 2-aminobenzothiazole, aromatic aldehydes, acetylenedicarboxylate and piperidine or pyrrolidine in ethanol afforded the functionalized 2-pyrrolidinones containing both benzothiazolyl and piperidinyl (or pyrrolidinyl) units in good yields. On the other hand, the similar four-component reactions resulted in the functionalized morpholinium or piperidinium 2-pyrrolidin...

A novel bis(phosphinimine)pyrrole based ligand (HL) and its synthesis are reported. Rare earth dialkyl complexes of the ligand, LLn(CH(2)SiMe(3))(2) (Ln = Er, Lu, Sc), have been prepared and found to exhibit high thermal stability in solution. The protio-ligand and dialkyl lanthanide complexes (Ln = Er, Lu) have been characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.

[figure: see text] Benzocyclopropene and cyclopropa[b]naphthalene react with dichloro-bis(tricyclohexylphosphine)methylideneruthenium, incorporating the metallacarbene to form unstable 3-ruthenacyclopentenes, which decompose to give o-xylylenes that can be trapped as Diels-Alder adducts by dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. In contrast, bis(eta 5-cyclopentadienyl)methylidenetitanium forms moderat...

An efficient three-component reaction of dialkyl acetylendicarboxylates and 2-Pyrrolidin in the presence of triphenylphosphine produces dialkyl 2-(2-Pyrrolidin-N-yl)-3-(triphenylphosphanylidene)succinate. These phosphoranes undergo mild intramolecular Wittig reaction to produce dialkyl (E)-2-(4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrol-2-yl)fumarate in excellent yields.

The scope of applications of dialkyl dicyanofumarates and maleates as highly functionalized electron-deficient dipolarophiles, dienophiles and Michael acceptors is summarized. The importance for the studies on reaction mechanisms of cycloadditions is demonstrated. Multistep reactions with 1,2-diamines and β-aminoalcohols leading to diverse five- and six-membered heterocycles are discussed. Appl...

protonation of the reactive intermediate produced in the  reaction between trimethyl phosphite and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate by resorcinol, 5-methylresorcinol, 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone, 4-chloro-2-methylphenol, 4-chloro-3,5-dimethy-lphenol, 4-hydroxypyridine, 2-hydroxypyridine, 3-hydroxypyridine, or 8-hydroxyquinoline leads to vinylphosphonium salts, whi...

Protonation of the reactive intermediate produced in the  reaction between trimethyl phosphite and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate by resorcinol, 5-methylresorcinol, 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone, 4-chloro-2-methylphenol, 4-chloro-3,5-dimethy-lphenol, 4-hydroxypyridine, 2-hydroxypyridine, 3-hydroxypyridine, or 8-hydroxyquinoline leads to vinylphosphonium salts,...

A one-pot and efficient approach to the synthesis of dialkyl 2-[1-[(alkoxycarbonyl)anilino]-2(1H)(isoquinolin-2-yl) (or -quinolin-1-yl or -pyridin-1-yl)]-2-butenedioates is described. This method involves a three-component reaction between isoquinoline, quinoline or pyridine, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and N-phenylcarbamates under solvent-free conditions, without using any catalyst and at ...
