The reaction of a series of thioimides with phosphorus ylides, in a manner analogous to the Wittig reaction, has been examined. The resulting reaction products represent potentially valuable intermediates in tetrapyrrole pigment synthesis. In addition to the desired thio-Wittig-type coupling reaction, the presence of two competing reaction pathways, S-alkylation and oxidation/reduction, has been observed with certain substrates. These empirical observations have been correlated to theoretical data, derived from MNDO and ab initio calculations, which delineate the structure-reactivity relationships governing product distribution from the various reaction pathways. A detailed analysis is presented of the mechanisms of the thio-Wittig coupling reaction and the competitive S-alkylation reaction.

precursor for the synthesis of phytochrome 1, has been prepared in enantiomerically pure form beginning with N-aminopyrrole 64 and the acetylenic acid 62b. The key step involved a 3,5-sigmatropic rearrangement of N-pyrrolo enamide 66b.

Cyclic enamides 1 of a type useful in the synthesis of naturally occurring chlorins, isobacteriochlorins, and corrins have been prepared by a process involving 5-exo-dig cyclization of the appropriate acetylenic amides 11. The desired cyclization is catalyzed by either n-Bu(4)NF or LiAl-(NHBn)(4).
