Deep eutectic solvent based on choline chloride and malonic acid as an efficient and reusable catalytic system for one-pot synthesis of functionalized pyrroles
Deep eutectic solvent (DES) based on choline chloride and malonic acid was applied as catalyst and reaction medium for synthesis of pyrroles by one-pot, four-component reaction of amines, aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and nitromethane.
Four-component coupling of amines, aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, and nitromethane has been achieved in gluconic acid aqueous solution (GAAS) to produce polysubstituted pyrroles in high yield. Gluconic acid aqueous solution could be recycled and reused several times without significant loss of its efficiency. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
