Pyrrole and Its Derivatives

NSAIDS and a Statin . Benzene rings provide the aromatic nucleus for the majority of the NSAIDs. A propionic acid attached at its 2 position provides the side chain for most of these compounds, as noted in Chapter 2. Inhibition of the cyclooxygenase enzyme and consequently NSAID activity is retained when the role of an aromatic ring is filled by a pyrrole. The side chain for all but one of those compounds, it should be noted, consists of an otherwise unsubstituted acetic acid. 

The preparation of the NSAID clopirac starts with the construction of the A-phenylpyrrole moiety. Thus reaction of /Jara-chloroaniline (6-1) with the 

5- dimethoxy fman (6-2), a latent form of hexane-2,5-dione, leads to the desired 

5- dimethylarylpyirole (6-3). Mannich reaction on that intermediate adds the first carbon of the side chain at only one of the two identical free positions on the pyrrole ring to afford (6-4). This is then converted to the nitrile (6-5) by the same sequence as above hydrolysis to the corresponding acid then affords clopirac (6-6) [6].

Clusters Ru3(CO)l2 and Os3(CO)l2 as well as their substitution products, e.g. [Os3(CO)lo(AN)2], activate pyrrole and its derivatives in many different ways. Thus, dihydrides 43 (R = H, Me) follow from triosmium dodecacarbonyl and pyrrole or 1-methylpyrrole [82JCS(D)2563 84P1175 86JOM(311)371]. Complex 43 (R = H) isomerizes as a result of proton transfer to the more stable species 44 and... 

Earlier reviews of the chemistry of pyrrole and its derivatives have been concerned mainly with synthesis and reactions.1-5 Discussion of the physicochemical properties has been avoided and only recently 6 has any attempt to redress this neglect been made. 

The facile polarographic reduction of both a- and j3-nitropyr-roles237a" 291-296 has been utilized in the analysis of the nitration products of pyrrole and its derivatives. It has been possible not only to identify the products by this method but also to determine the isomer ratios.294-296... 

Pyrrole and its derivatives have been extensively studied. General references include Jones and Bean (77MI1), Boyer (86MI1), and Schofield (67MI1). However, there are few reports of nitrations of pyrrolines and pyrrolidines.

Thus, Table 1 reports chemical shift changes found by the addition of anion salts to calix[4]pyrrole and its derivatives relative to those for the free ligand in acetonitrile-d3 and dimethyl sulphoxide-d6 at 298 K. These data reveal that the... 

CALIX[4]PYRROLE AND ITS DERIVATIVES WITH THE FLUORIDE ANION... 

The variations observed in the thermodynamics of complexation of calix[4]pyrrole and its derivatives with the fluoride anion (Table 2) as a result of the medium effect are controlled by the solvation changes that reactants and product undergo in moving from one solvent to another. These differences in solvation are reflected in the thermodynamic parameters of transfer, AtP° for the reactants (fluoride and receptor) and the product (the anion complex) from a reference solvent, s-i to another solvent, s2. The relationship between these parameters and the thermodynamics of complexation, ACP°, in these solvents is shown in Equation (9). 

The mass spectra of pyrrole and its derivatives reveal that the main fission reactions are operative as in corresponding furans and thiophenes.41 The spectrum of pyrrole shows the fragment analogous...

Pyrrole and its derivatives do not react with nucleophilic reagents by addition or by substitution, except in the same type of situation that allows nucleophilic substitution in benzene chemistry, i.e. where the leaving group is ortho or para to an electron-withdrawing group the two examples below are illustrative. ... 

Figure 3. Some typical examples of transition state structures for acetylene addition to pyrrole and its derivatives.

All this information about the reactivity of pyrrole and its derivatives as dienes for Diels-Alder reactions was obtained from the values computed on two separated reactants. It is much more appropriate to compare changes of the FMO energies for reactants to reach transition state structures. Some representative transition state structures for acetylene addition to pyrrole derivatives are presented in Figure 3. The transition state structures are for synchronous formation of both CC bonds with slightly asymmetric transition state structures, although both diene and dienophiles have a plane of symmetry that coincides with a plane of symmetry for the transition state structure. All of these transition state structures have similar bond distances for CC bonds, which is true for almost all Diels-Alder reactions. The FMO orbital changes for transformation of reactants into transition state structures are presented in Table 16. 

Finally pyrrol and its derivatives result from the decomposition of hemoglobin. As to the pyridin compounds, whose presence is still more exceptional, they come also from the transformation of special nitrogenous compounds.

Since pyrrole and its derivatives form very stable conducting surfaces, Za-gal, Bedioui, and coworkers used ultramicro-carbon-fiber electrode modified with polypyrrole-dopped cobalt-tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine for the electrocatalytic oxidation of 2-ME The resulting electrode was stable and showed a detection limit of 8 10 M. Pyrolle substituted phthalocyanines have been used for the analysis of cysteine. Electrocatalytic behavior of MPc complexes has also been examined under homogeneous conditions. Water soluble OMo (OH)TSPc catalyzed the oxidation of cysteine under homogeneous conditions. ...
