In this method, Furstner converts N-BOC protected pyrrole to the 2,5-dibromo compound (122) with NBS and this is followed by metalation and carbomethoxylation with t-butyl lithium in THF and subsequent trapping of the metalated species with methyl chloroformate to yield a pyrrole diester (123). Bromination of this diester at positions 3 and 4 with bromine in water followed by Suzuki cross-coupling with 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl boronic acid yields the symmetrical tetrasubstituted pyrrole (125). Base-mediated N-alkylation of this pyrrole with 4-methoxyphenethyl bromide produces the key Boger diester (126) and thereby constitutes a relay synthesis of permethyl storniamide A (120). 

An intramolecular heteroaryl Heck was the pivotal step in the synthesis of 5-butyl-1-methyl-l//-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-4(5//)-one (63), a potent antiasthmatic agent [46], The optimum yield was obtained under Jeffery s ligand-free conditions, echoing Ohta s observation for the intermolecular version. Once again, the Caryi—Caryi bond was constructed at the C(5) position of the imidazole ring. Another intramolecular heteroaryl Heck cyclization of pyrrole and imidazole derivatives was also reported to assemble annulated isoindoles [47]. 

A study of the regioselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of aliphatic nitrile oxides with cinnamic acid esters has been published. AMI MO studies on the gas-phase 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1,2,4-triazepine and formonitrile oxide show that the mechanism leading to the most stable adduct is concerted. An ab initio study of the regiochemistry of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of diazomethane and formonitrile oxide with ethene, propene, and methyl vinyl ether has been presented. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of mesitonitrile oxide with 4,7-phenanthroline yields both mono-and bis-adducts. Alkynyl(phenyl)iodonium triflates undergo 2 - - 3-cycloaddition with ethyl diazoacetate, Ai-f-butyl-a-phenyl nitrone and f-butyl nitrile oxide to produce substituted pyrroles, dihydroisoxazoles, and isoxazoles respectively." 2/3-Vinyl-franwoctahydro-l,3-benzoxazine (43) undergoes 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with nitrile oxides with high diastereoselectivity (90% de) (Scheme IS)."

The first synthesis of the parent compound of the benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-f]pyrrole ring system 387 <2003T1477> and its derivatives was accomplished using the same synthetic sequence (Scheme 42). Starting with 2-methyl-benzo[ ]thiophene-3-carbaldehyde 388, an intermediate 389 was obtained. Treatment of bromo compound 389 with sodium azide in ethanol led to the stable triazoline 390. 1,3-Dipolar cycloreversion of 390 was induced by a catalytic amount of />-TsOH to give the parent 2//-benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyrrole 387. Alternatively, direct treatment of bromo compound 389 with excess ammonia furnished 387 in one step. Compound 387 was treated with di-/-butyl dicarbonate and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) to give iV-BOC derivative 391. Reaction of 389 with... 

Much more studied is the reaction of /8-dicarbonyl compounds with 2-amino-2-deoxyaldoses in particular, with 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glu-cose (55), both in neutral and alkaline medium. In neutral methanol or aqueous acetone, 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose reacts with 2,4-pen-tanedione to give52 54 3-acetyl-2-methyl-5-(D-arabino-tetrahydroxy-butyl)pyrrole (56a), and, with ethyl acetoacetate,55 the pyrrole 56b. Similar (tetrahydroxybutyl)pyrroles have been prepared from other /3-keto esters, such as ethyl 3-oxohexanoate, ethyl thiolacetoacetate, and diethyl 3-oxopentanedioate.53,56,56a... 

The [4+1] annulation of 1-azadienes to pyrroles can also be achieved through their carbonyl iron complexes (Scheme 6). Novel complex (1,4-diphenyl-2-methyl-l-azabutadiene)tricarbonyliron (0) 24 was obtained in 40% yield from the corresponding azadiene 23 and Fe2(CO)9 then nucleophilic attack by methyl lithium and quenching with tert-butyl bromide, as the proton source, gave 2,5-dimethyl-l,3-diphenylpyrrole 26 in 70% yield, probably through the anionic intermediate complex 25 [88TL1425 90JCS(P1)761]. 

X-Ray crystal structures are provided for several of the pentathiepins, for example, 6,8-dichloro-7-methyl-77/-[l,2,3,4,5]pentathiepino[6,7-f]pyrrole, 6,8-dichloro-7-/-butyl-777-[l,2,3,4,5]pentathiepino[6,7-c]pyrrole <2005OBC3496>, and bispiperidinothienopentathiepine <20030L1939>. In general, the geometry of this pen-tathiepines is quite close to other pentathiepines. 

To a solution of 34.6 g of 2-(pyrrol-l-yl)benzyl alcohol in 300 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran and 32 ml of tetramethylethylene diamine is added 183 ml of a 2.4 molar solution of n-butyl lithium in such a manner that the internal temperature of the reaction is maintained below 30°C. On completion of the addition, the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is then cooled to -70°C by means of a dry-ice/acetone bath, and 24 ml of ethyl pyruvate is added to the mixture over 1 minute. The reaction is then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight (18 hours). The reaction is then poured into an ice-water/ether mixture and the organic phase separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to yield ethyl-4-methyl-4H,6H-pyrrolo[l,2-a][4,l]benzoxazepine-4-carboxylate, MP 94°-96°C, which may be recrystallized from a mixture of ether-hexane (1 1). 

Trail Pheromones. Tumlinson et al. (133) identified methyl 4-methyl pyrrole-2-carboxylate (XXXVT as the major trail pheromone of the ant, Atta texana. Another poison gland product, 3-butyl-5-methyloctahydroindolizine (XXXVI) has been reported to be the dominant releaser of trail following for workers of Monomorium pharaonls (134).In contrast to these cyclic releasers...
