Synthesis of Polysubstituted Pyrroles via PhI(OAc)2-Mediated Oxidative Coupling of Enamine Esters and Ketones
Publication History
Publication Date:
27 August 2009 (online)

Abstract
Enamine esters or ketones could undergo homocoupling by the action of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene in the presence of BF3˙OEt2, giving rise to pyrrole products. This reaction could be used to synthesize symmetric polysubstituted pyrroles. Some asymmetric polysubstituted pyrroles could also be prepared using this protocol.
Key words
(diacetoxyiodo) benzene - oxidative coupling - enamine esters - pyrroles

References and Notes
Procedures for
the Preparation of Asymmetric Pyrroles
BF3˙OEt2 (0.04
mmol) was added to a solution of 3-alkyl-enamine esters (0.2 mmol)
and 3-phenyl-enamine esters
(1.2 mmol) in 1 mL CH2Cl2,
followed by DIB (0.22 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 0-10 ˚C.
After the reaction finished as indicated by TLC, the mixture was
concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was treated
with flash column chromatography to give the product.
