Abstract
A new one-pot strategy for the synthesis of a series of new N-substituted 3-trifluoroacetyl pyrroles is presented. These compounds were obtained by the reaction of 3-trifluoroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofuran with primary amines, which generated 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-alkylaminobut-3-en-2-one intermediates. In most cases these intermediates were not stable enough to be isolated. Thus, in the same reaction vessel they were directly submitted to oxidation with PCC (Corey’s reagent) to furnish 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-(2-ethanal)-4-alkylaminobut-3-en-2-ones, which under reflux underwent intramolecular cyclization to give the desired N-substituted 3-trifluoroacetyl pyrroles, in moderate yields. All of these pyrroles were tested against pan-susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and clinical isolates INH- and RMP-resistant strain and some of these compounds showed significant in vitro antimicrobial activity.

Synthesis of N-Substituted
3-Trifluoroacetyl Pyrroles 5 - General Procedure
To
a solution of 3-trifluoroacetyl-4,5-dihydrofuran 1 (0.50
g, 3.0 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL), amines 2a,b (approx.
6.0 mmol), amines 2c-r (3.0 mmol), and amines 2s-u (1.5 mmol) were added under magnetic
stirring, and the reaction was stirred for 30 min at r.t. After
this period, PCC (4.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL)
was added, and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 3 h. For amines 2a,b, before the addition
of PCC, the reaction was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 15
mL) and dried with MgSO4. The solvent was evaporated
by rotary evaporator, and the reaction residue was treated with
1 M solution of NaOH and extracted with Et2O (3 × 50
mL). The combined organic layers were washed with 1 M NaOH solution
(2 × 50 mL) and distilled H2O
(1 × 50 mL). The organic phase was dried
with anhyd MgSO4, evaporated, and purified by column chromatography
using basic alumina (60 g) with a plug of active charcoal and eluted
with Et2O (50 mL).
