Synthesis of Photochromic 1,2-Dihetarylethene Using Regioselective Acylation of Thienopyrroles
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]The influence of catalysts, acid chlorides, and solvents in the acylation of methyl 2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate was studied. Conditions for the regioselective acylation processes were found. Thienopyrrole-based photochrome was synthesized for the first time.
The influence of catalysts, acid chlorides, and solvents on the acylation of methyl 2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylate was studied. The use of AlCl3 allows the regioselective introduction of the acyl group into position 3 to be performed, whereas the acyl group is regioselectively introduced into position 6 of thienopyrrole when SnCl4 is used.
