Aminophenylpyrroles have been synthesized by a three-step route from methyl N-(Boc)anthranilate (2). Amine protection of commercially available methyl anthranilate (1) gave Boc-protected methyl ester 2, which reacted with vinylmagnesium bromide in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper (I) cyanide to yield 1-[2-N-(Boc)aminophenyl]pent-4-en-1-one (3) in 43% yield. Oxidation of homoallylic ketone 3 using either a mixture of OsO4 center dot NaIO4 and 2,6-lutidine, or PdCl2-CuCl under oxygen atmosphere gave respectively aldehyde 4 and ketone 5. Treatment of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds 4 and 5 with ammonium formate as well as primary amines under Paal-Knorr conditions afforded a set of eight 2-[2-N-(Boc)aminophenyl]pyrroles 6a-d and 7a-d. In addition, treatment of 2-[2-N-(Boc)aminophenyl]-1H-pyrrole 6a with NaH provided a novel entry to pyrrolo [1,2-c]quinazolin-5(6H)-one 8.
