New synthesis of pyrrole-2-carboxylic and pyrrole-2,5-dicarboxylic acid esters in the presence of iron-containing catalysts
摘要:
Alkyl 1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylates and dialkyl 1H-pyrrole-2,5-dicarboxylates were synthesized in quantitative yield by reactions of 1H-pyrrole, 2-acetyl-1H-pyrrole, and 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole with carbon tetrachloride and aliphatic alcohols in the presence of iron-containing catalysts. A probable reaction mechanism was proposed, and the rate constants and energies of activation of particular steps were determined on the basis of experimental data.
