Pyrrole molecular

In case of pyrrole molecular ion, HCN loss is somewhat less important than with indole, i.e., the [M-C2H2] ion at m/z 41 is more abundant than the [M-HCN] ion at m/z 40. This may in part be due to the twofold possibility to eliminate C2H2 (Fig. 6.55). The introduction of iV-substituents has similar effects as observed for the saturated heterocycles before, i.e., rearrangement fragmentations and a-cleavage of the substituent take control [230]...

The disadvantages associated with the Clemmensen reduction of carbonyl compounds (see 3 above), viz., (a) the production of small amounts of carbinols and unsaturated compounds as by-products, (h) the poor results obtained with many compounds of high molecular weight, (c) the non-appUcability to furan and pyrrole compounds (owing to their sensitivity to acids), and (d) the sensitivity to steric hindrance, are absent in the modified Wolff-Kishner reduction. 

Stability. Diesel fuel can undergo unwanted oxidation reactions leading to insoluble gums and also to highly colored by-products. Discoloration is beheved to be caused by oxidation of pyrroles, phenols, and thiophenols to form quiaoid stmctures (75). Eventually, these colored bodies may increase in molecular weight to form insoluble sludge. 

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution. The Tt-excessive character of the pyrrole ring makes the indole ring susceptible to electrophilic attack. The reactivity is greater at the 3-position than at the 2-position. This reactivity pattern is suggested both by electron density distributions calculated by molecular orbital methods and by the relative energies of the intermediates for electrophilic substitution, as represented by the protonated stmctures (7a) and (7b). Stmcture (7b) is more favorable than (7a) because it retains the ben2enoid character of the carbocycHc ring (12).

Examine pyrrole s highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to see if your can predict the most favorable protonation site. Which of the pyrrole s conjugate acids (N protonated, C2 proto noted, C3 proto noted pyrrole) is lowest in energy Examine electrostatic potential maps to see if the lowest-energy form is also that in which the positive charged is best delocalized. Rationalize your result using resonance arguments. What should be the favored substitution product ... 

In addition to electrophilic attack on the pyrrole ring in indole, there is the possibility for additions to the fused benzene ring. First examine the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of indole. Which atoms contribute the most What should be the favored position for electrophilic attack Next, compare the energies of the various protonated forms of indole (C protonated only). These serve as models for adducts formed upon electrophilic addition. Which carbon on the pyrrole ring (C2 or C3) is favored for protonation Is this the same as the preference in pyrrole itself (see Chapter 15, Problem 2)1 If not, try to explain why not. Which of the carbons on the benzene ring is most susceptible to protonation Rationalize your result based on what you know about the reactivity of substituted benzenes toward electrophiles. Are any of the benzene carbons as reactive as the most reactive pyrrole carbon Explain.

Additional kinetic evidence supporting molecular iodine as an iodinating species is sparse. Li325 found that the iodination of tyrosine in acetate buffers at 25 °C showed the mixed inverse dependence on iodide ion concentration noted above, so that part of the reaction appeared to involve the molecular species. Subsequently, Doak and Corwin326 found that the kinetics of the iodination of (N-Me)-4-carboethoxy-2,5-dimethyl- and (N-Me)-5-carboethoxy-2,4-dimethyl-pyrroles in phosphate buffers in aqueous dioxane at 26.5 °C obeyed equation (162), viz. 

Due to its electronic conductivity, polypyrrole can be grown to considerable thickness. It also constitutes, by itself, as a film on platinum or gold, a new type of electrode surface that exhibits catalytic activity in the electrochemical oxidation of ascorbic acid and dopamine in the reversible redox reactions of hydroquinones and the reduction of molecular oxygen iV-substituted pyrroles are excellent...
