In the present research, the titanium-catalyzed ethylene dimerization and more specifically, the concomitant byproducts and polymer formation have been studied in the presence of 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran as an electron donor compound in the combination with triethylaluminium (TEA) as activator. Then, we added ethylene chlorobromide as a new efficient promoter to the relevant catalyst system...

The main aim of the project is to synthesize an isomerically pure sample of 3-amino-2alkenoate, a useful β-amino acid derivative that is a precursor to molecules with medicinal properties. We successfully made the product from the reaction of ethyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate dissolved in methanol. We also attempted to synthesize 3-pyrrole-2alkenoate from the reaction of our product and 2...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Pyrroles are widely distributed in nature and important biologically active molecules. The reaction of amines with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran is a promising pathway for the synthesis of pharmacologically active pyrroles under microwave irradiation. RESULTS Microwave-induced polystyrenesulfonate-catalyzed synthesis of pyrroles from amines and 2,5-diemthoxytetrahydrof...

A synthetic protocol for the construction of new meso-substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalinoporphyrins is described starting from 5-(4-amino-3-nitrophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin. The reaction of this porphyrin with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran, followed by the reduction of the nitro group in the presence of NiCl2/NaBH4 afforded 5-(3-amino-4-(pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin....

A simple and efficient protocol for the synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles from one-pot condensation reaction of 2, 5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran with aryl/alkyl, sulfonyl and acyl amines in the presence of ZrOCl2•8H2O in water has been developed. This new method has the advantages of simple experimental and work-up procedure, high to excellent yields, easy availability, economical, eco-frien...

Dinitrogen complex cis-[W(N2)2(PMe2Ph)4] reacts with an excess of acidic dihydrogen complexes such as trans-[RuCl(η-H2)(dppe)2]BF4 (dppe = 1, 2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) at 55 °C under 1 atm of H2 to form ammonia in moderate yield. The reaction is presumed to proceed through nucleophilic attack of the remote nitrogen of the coordinated dinitrogen on the dihydrogen ligand. The coordinated di...

An investigation of the reaction requirements to effect the Clauson-Kaas pyrrole synthesis led to the formulation of a new procedure that avoids the contact of pyrroles to heat or strongly acidic conditions that cause decomposition of the desired products. The procedure involves mild hydrolysis of 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran in water to the activated species 2,5-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran that r...
