Polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as an efficient and recyclable reaction medium for one-pot synthesis of polysubstituted pyrroles under catalyst-free conditions
Polyethyleneglycol (PEG) was found to be an inexpensive non-toxic and effective medium for the one-pot synthesis of highly functionalized pyrroles. Utilizing this protocol various pyrrole derivatives were synthesized in excellent yields. Environmental acceptability, low cost, high yields, and recyclability of the PEG are the important features of this protocol.
The three-component reactions of phenacyl bromide or its derivatives, amine, and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of iron(III) chloride as a catalyst at room temperature afforded polysubstituted pyrroles in high yields. polysubstituted pyrroles - three-component reaction - iron(III) chloridePart 283 in the series ‘Studies on Novel Synthetic Methodologies’.

A simple, rapid, efficient, and environmentally benign procedure for synthesis of polysubsfituted pyrroles has been achieved by the three-component reaction of amines, phenacyl bromide and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates under solvent free conditions using nano structures of ZnO as catalyst. Different morphologies such as nanorods and nanosheets of catalysis have been synthesized by simple reflux method using sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and applied in this reaction. Nanorod ZnO catalyst exhibited a significant enhancement in the yield of the desired product. The catalyst exhibited remarkable reusable activity. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
