An effective gold-catalyzed intermolecular nitrene transfer by the reaction of 2H-azirines and ynamides is reported, which provides highly substituted pyrroles in a straightforward manner. This transformation proceeds under mild conditions and gives the polysubstituted pyrroles in good-to-excellent yields. Preliminary results indicate that a nongold carbenoid pathway is preferred for current py...

Carboxhydrazides 3 were synthesized by reaction of substituted furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxhydrazides 1 with 4-oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxaldehyde 2 in the presence of 3-methyl-benzenesulfonic acid in ethanol. Carboxhydrazides 3 were used as ligands for synthesis of Cu, Co, and Ni complexes 4.

Yndiamides (bis-N-substituted alkynes) are valuable precursors to azacycles. Here we report a cycloisomerization/1,2-sulfonyl migration of alkynyl-yndiamides form tetrahydropyrrolopyrroles, unprecedented heterocyclic scaffolds that relevant medicinal chemistry. This functional group tolerant transformation can be achieved using Au(I) catalysis proceeds at ambient temperature, and thermally prom...

Nine pyrrole-containing compounds were designed introducing reasonable structural novelties within the framework of the architecture of confirmed tuberculostatics. The new products were synthesized via adopted Paal-Knorr cyclization by condensation of three 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds with a set of substituted anilines, acting as primary amines. Preliminary in vitro tests have already registered e...

The Grignard, Wittig, Tebbe, Horner-Emmons, and Reformatsky reactions of the 4-oxoproline esters gave the corresponding 4-alylated or 4-alkylidenated products, respectively. The products were properly treated with bases to cause aromatization, giving 4-substituted pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid esters such as methyl 4-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylate, which is a trail pheromone of Atta texana.

A facile two-step method for the construction of fused pyrrole ring leading to 5-substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2,1-ij]quinolin-1-ones via C-C followed by intramolecular C-N bond forming reaction is described. In vitro pharmacological evaluation and molecular modelling studies of some of the compounds synthesized are presented.

Substituted pyrroles were prepared by a gold(I)-catalyzed acetylenic Schmidt reaction of homopropargyl azides. The reaction allows for regiospecific substitution at each position of the pyrrole ring under mild conditions. A mechanism in which azides serve as nucleophiles toward gold(I)-activated alkynes with subsequent gold(I)-aided expulsion of dinitrogen is proposed.

Oxygen-dependent coproporphyrinogen III oxidase catalyzes the sequential decarboxylation of the propionate substituents present on the A and B rings of coproporphyrinogen III in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Although extensive experimental investigation of this enzyme has already afforded many insights into its reaction mechanism, several key features (such as the substrate binding mode, the c...

The title chiral compound, C(13)H(14)N(2)O(4), was prepared by an intra-cyclization reaction of methyl (S)-1-(4-hydr-oxy-5-meth-oxy-2-nitro-benz-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxyl-ate in the presence of ethanol and iron. The five-membered substituted pyrrole ring adopts an approximate envelope conformation, while the seven-membered substituted diazepine ring displays a twist-boat conformation. Int...

A convenient zinc(II) chloride-catalyzed regioselective propargylation/amination/cycloisomerization process has been developed for the synthesis of substituted pyrrole derivatives from propargylic acetates, enoxysilanes and primary amines. Various aromatic and aliphatic propargylic acetates participate well in the reaction, providing the propargylation/amination/cycloisomerization products in g...
