Nonionic Superbase-Promoted Synthesis of Oxazoles and Pyrroles: Facile Synthesis of Porphyrins and .alpha.-C-Acyl Amino Acid Esters
摘要:
The reaction of acyl chlorides or acid anhydrides with isocyanoacetates in the presence of the superior strong nonionic base P(MeNCH(2)CH(2))(3)N (1) gave oxazoles in 98-99% yield. Treatment of the oxazoles with HCl-MeOH gave alpha-C-acyl amino acid esters in 81-82% yield. The reaction of beta-acetoxy-alpha-nitroalkanes or nitroalkenes with isocyanoacetates in the presence of 1 gave pyrroles in 100% yield. The conjugate acid of 1 can be treated with KO-t-Bu to regenerate 1. Treatment of the pyrroles with LiAlH4, followed by PTSA-CH2(OMe)(2) and oxidation gave porphyrins in 65-69% yield. LiCl, which functions both as a strong nucleophile in the S(N)2 demethylation of the 5,5'-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-3,3',4,4'-tetramethyldipyrromethane 22a and as a Lewis acid in the electrophilic substitution cyclization of paraformaldehyde at dipyrromethane, facilitates the combination of four reactions into a one-pot synthesis of octaethylporphyrin in 67% yield from 22a.

A process for preparation of new or previously known pyrrol derivatives is provided. The process involves reacting a nitroalkane or a nitroalkene with an isocyanoacetate in the presence of a proprophosphatrane "super base" to prepare the pyrrol compounds. Through production of new pyrrol compounds, new pyrrol derivatives such as dipyrromethane and porphyrin may be synthesized. In addition, the high yields of pyrrol compounds produced according to the method of the invention provide for more efficient production of previously known dipyrromethane and porphyrin compounds. The invention further provides a mild, high yield process for de-esterification of esterified pyrrol and dipyrromethane compounds. The invention also provides a synthetic method for the production of high yields of oxazoles through reaction of an aryl halide or acid anhydride with an isocyanoacetate in the presence of a prophosphatrane "super base". The product oxazoles serve as intermediates for subsequent treatment to provide pharmaceutically interesting C-acyl-.alpha.-amino acid esters.

Formal migration of one meso-carbon atom in the porphyrin ring into the pyrrole moiety results in an isomer “pyricorrole”, a pyridine-containing corrole macrocycle. We prepared the nickel(II) complex of pyricorrole by the nickel(II)-induced cyclization of a linear precursor. Electronic absorption and proton NMR spectra of this compound revealed the presence of an 18π-electron circuit over the macrocycle
