Electrochemical Oxidation and EPR Spectroscopy of Radical Cations of N-Substituted 2,3,4,5-Tetramethylpyrroles.
摘要:
Electrochemical oxidation of 19 N-substituted 2,3,4,5-tetramethylpyrroles has been studied in acetonitrile and dichloromethane by means of slow cyclic voltammetry and coulometry. The first oxidation consumes one electron and occurs within the potential range 0.60-0.94 V in acetonitrile and 0.78-1.17 V in dichloromethane (vs. SCE). Twelve in situ generated primary radical cations were sufficiently stable al lowered temperature in dichloromethane for EPR measurement and showed well resolved HFS. The g-values (approximate to 2.0026) and the coupling constants of 2,5-methyls (a(H) approximate to 1.5 mT), 3,4-methyls (a(H) approximate to 0.35 mT), and of the pyrrole nitrogen (a(N) approximate to 0.42 mT) are very proximate for all 12 radical cations. It can be concluded, with support from quantum chemical calculations, that the odd electron is localised entirely on the pyrrole ring in the a(2) HOMO of the parent molecule. Despite the odd electron distribution, the stability of the radical cations depends on the particular substituent attached to the pyrrole nitrogen.

The mechanism of Paal-Knorr reaction between a 1,4-dicarbonyl compound and ammonia or a primary amine to form a pyrrole is explored. In aprotic solvents and in aqueous solutions near neutrality, d,l diastereomers of 3,4-dimethyl- and 3,4-diethyl-2,5-hexanediones (1r and 2r) formed pyrroles 1.3-57.0 times faster than the corresponding meso diastereomers (1m and 2m). This contradicts any intermediate, such as the enamine 15, which does not remain saturated at both the 3- and 4-positions through the rate-determining step. The demonstrated stereoisomeric difference in reactivity coupled with the following results support the hemiaminal (9) as the intermediate undergoing cyclization in the rate-limiting step of the Paal-Knorr reaction: (1) The reaction rate was adversely affected by increase in the size of the alkyl substituents on the dione. (2) Racemic 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diphenyl-1,4-butanedione (3r) was more reactive toward ammonium acetate (2.2:1) and 2-aminoethanol (11.2:1) than the meso isomer (3m), ruling out the involvement of the less substituted enamine 14. (3) The relative rate of pyrrole formation of 1,4-diphenyl-1,4-butanedione (5) and its dimethoxy (6) and dinitro (7) derivatives (1:03:6) does not support cyclization of the imine (11) to the pyrrolinium ion (12). (4) The rates of reaction of 2,2,3,3-tetradeuterio-1,4-diphenyl-1,4-butanedione (5D) and perdeuterio-2,5-hexanedione (4D) were very close to those of unlabeled diketones, indicating the absence of a primary isotope effect in the reaction. (5) Neither the isomerization of the unreacted diastereomers of 1, 2, and 3 nor hydrogen exchange of 4D and 5D was detected during the reaction.
