摘要:
2,5-Di(2,4-xylyl)pyrrole, [pyr(2)(2,5-Xyl)]H, has been synthesized by reaction of the diketone [XylC(O)CH2](2) with NH4OAc in AcOH; the diketone itself is obtained by condensation of XylC(O)Me with XylC(O)CH2Br in the presence of Ti(OPri)(4). The molecular structures of both [pyr(2)(2,5-Ph)]H and [pyr(2)(2,5-Xyl)]H have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, thereby demonstrating that an ortho methyl substituent increases the dihedral angle between the aryl and pyrrolyl groups from 14.5degrees in [pyr(2)(2,5-Ph)]H to 24.1degrees in [pyr(2)(2,5-Xyl)]H.
