Abstract

Sequential processing of monolithiated tertiary propargylamines with 2-(vinyloxy)ethyl isothiocyanate and t-BuOK–DMSO results in the introduction of a highly reactive 2-(vinyloxy)ethyl group at the position 1 of the pyrrole ring thus formed. In this way, a series of new 5-sulfanyl-1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-1H-pyrrol-2-amines were obtained in a yield of up to 92%. The latter in the presence of t-BuOK–DMSO system (110–120 °C, 10–15 min) eliminates vinyl alcohol to give rare-functionalized 1-vinylpyrroles, namely 5-sulfanyl-1-vinyl-1H-pyrrol-2-amines, inaccessible by the known methods.

Functionally-substituted pyrroles[1] are widely used in synthetic organic,[2] biological,[3] and medicinal chemistry,[4] as well as in materials science.[5] In particular, pyrroles, bearing amino,[6] alkoxy,[7] sulfanyl,[8] vinyloxy,[9] and vinyl[10] groups, are recommended for the design of new biologically relevant porphyrins, optoelectronic materials, and as synthetically and pharmaceutically important substrates. However, to our knowledge, until recently, general and efficient methods for the direct synthesis of hetero-substituted pyrroles were absent. One of the simplest one-pot approaches to pyrroles having in their structure the above mentioned substituents is based on the reactions of allenic or acetylenic carbanions with isothiocyanates and alkylating agents.[11] Traditional ways to 1-vinylpyrroles are mainly based on the functionalization of preexisting pyrrole ring or structural transformation of the substituents and include the addition of NH-pyrroles to alkynes in the presence of various catalytic systems,[12] indirect vinylation with dihaloalkanes (through substitution-elimination),[13] vinylic substitution with vinyl halides[14] and vinyl triflates,[15] cleavage of 1-[2-(hydroxy)ethyl][16] or 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl][17] substituents, and isomerization of 1-allylic into 1-propen-1-ylic derivatives.[18] Diversely substituted 1-vinylpyrroles were also synthesized in a one-pot directly from ketones and acetylene (via ketoximes) in the superbasic MOH–DMSO (M = Na, K, Cs) systems.[19] But all these methods has both their advantages and disadvantages and limitations. This makes the development of new protocols for the expeditious synthesis of biologically and synthetically relevant functionally and hetero-substituted pyrroles from easily accessible precursors interesting and significant.

Scheme 1 Plausible mechanism of pyrrole ring construction from propargylamines 1, isothiocyanate, and alkylating agents

Here we report a convenient approach to rare-functionalized 1-vinylpyrroles, based on sequential reaction of monolithiated tertiary propargylamines 1 [N,N-dimethylprop-2-yn-1-amine (1a), N,N-diethylprop-2-yn-1-amine (1b), N,N-dipropylprop-2-yn-1-amine (1c), 1-prop-2-yn-1-ylpyrrolidine (1d), 1-prop-2-yn-1-ylpiperidine (1e), and 4-prop-2-yn-1-ylmorpholine (1f)] with 2-(vinyloxy)ethyl isothiocyanate (2) and alkylating agents (methyl, ethyl, and butyl iodides, allyl and propargyl bromides, bromoacetonitrile, 2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxolane). 5-Sulfanyl-1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-1H-pyrrol-2-amines 3 synthesized from these reactants in one preparative step (Table [1], Scheme [1]) were used as precursors of 5-sulfanyl-1-vinyl-1H-pyrrol-2-amines 4, inaccessible by the known methods (Tables 2 and 3).

a Reaction conditions (procedure A): under argon, anhyd THF (20–60 mL), (1) propargylamine 1 (15–60 mmol), n-BuLi (2.5 M solution in hexane, 6.5–24 mL, 16–60 mmol): –70 to –60 → 0–10 °C; (2) CH2=CHOCH2CH2N=C=S (2) (15–50 mmol)/THF (3 mL): 0–10 → 40–48 °C, 5 min; (3) t-BuOK (16–54 mmol)/DMSO (8–28 mL): –40 → 45–55 °C, 5 min; and (4) R1X (16–104 mmol): 0 → 25–45 °C, 25–60 min.

b Yield of purified product, isolated by column chromatography or distillation in vacuo (based on isothiocyanate 2).

c Purified by column chromatography on alumina.

d Purified by distillation in vacuo.

The cascade reaction leading to pyrroles 3 includes the following steps (procedure A): (1) lithiation of propargylamine 1 with n-BuLi in THF–hexane; (2) addition of formed intermediate A to isothiocyanate; (3) isomerization of acetylenic adduct B into allenic adduct C, accompanied by replacement of lithium cation with potassium (under the action of t-BuOK–DMSO); (4) cyclization of ambident anion C into thienylamide-anion D (at temperature lower than 15 °C); (5) re-cyclization of the latter into pyrrolylsulfide-anion E (at temperature higher than 45 °C); and (6) final S-alkylation of intermediate E (Scheme [1]). Treatment of intermediate D with alkylating agent leads to thiophene 5.

Using this approach, a series of 5-sulfanyl-1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-1H-pyrrol-2-amines 3 were obtained in 69–92% yields. As can be seen from the data in Table [1], the structure of propargylamine 1 or an alkylating agent does not have too strong effect on the yield of pyrrole 3. But in some cases (to correct the pyrrole yield or to prevent undesirable substituent transformations), slight modifications of the procedure A were made.

Thus, the synthesis of pyrrole 3f from 4-prop-2-yn-1-ylmorpholine (1f) by procedure A leads to a complicated mixture of inseparable products. For this reason, procedure A was slightly changed, namely, before treating the reaction mixture with an alkylating agent, proton donor [t-BuOH (procedure B) or water (procedure C)] was added to it. In the first case, a mixture of pyrrole 3f and thiophene 5f was obtained in a ratio of ca. 80:20, from which pyrrole 3f was isolated in a yield of 59% (Scheme [2]).

Scheme 2 Products of the reactions, carried out by procedures B and C

This means that under the used reaction conditions, the corresponding potassium thienylamide D is re-cyclized into pyrrolyl sulfide E (precursor of pyrrole 3f) by only 80% (Schemes 1 and 2). But when the duration of treatment of the reaction mixture with the t-BuOK–DMSO system was increased from 5 to 10 minutes, and then water was added (before alkylation), pyrrole 3f was isolated in a yield of 69% as the only reaction product. Thiophene 5f was not identified among the reaction products.

Modified procedure C (with addition of water before alkylation) was also used in the synthesis of pyrroles 3gj. In the case of allylsulfanyl- and propargylsulfanyl-substituted pyrroles 3i and 3j, the addition of water prevents, respectively, the allyl–propenyl and acetylene–allene isomerization of these substituents.

It was also noted that the yield of the target products rather strongly depends on the method of their isolation. From the results obtained it can be preliminary concluded that purification by column chromatography gives pyrroles 3 in yields higher than by distillation in vacuo. Thus, pyrroles 3a and 3d were isolated by column chromatography in a yield of 89% and 85%, respectively. But when crude products containing these pyrroles were distilled in vacuo, their yields were lower by 12% and 5%, that is, 77% and 80%, respectively (Table [1]).

The structural features of 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-substituted pyrroles 3 prompted us to study their chemical behavior, in particular their ability to transformation into 1-vinylpyrroles. Thus, 5-sulfanyl-1-vinyl-1H-pyrrol-2-amines 4, which are not available by traditional methods for construction and functionalization of the pyrrole ring, were obtained in high yield by treatment of compounds 3 with t-BuOK–DMSO system. The reaction proceeds smoothly via elimination of vinyl alcohol from the 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl] substituent and represents a simple and efficient approach to a new family of 1-vinylpyrroles (Tables 2 and 3).

In an initial study, the reaction conditions (amount of the base, temperature, and reaction time) were optimized for the reference reaction of pyrrole 3a with t-BuOK–DMSO system. The results obtained are summarized in Table [2].

g Pyrrole 6 was isolated in yield of 68% instead of target 1-vinylpyrrole 4l (see Scheme [4]).

h A mixture of pyrroles 3b, 4b, and 4l was obtained (see Scheme [5]).

At room temperature [DMSO, t-BuOK (1.2–2.0 equiv), 1 h] the reaction proceeds rather slowly (the conversion of pyrrole 3a is only 54–69%) to give pyrrole 4a in 48–66% yield (Table [2], entries 1 and 2). However, the yield of the target product and conversion of pyrrole 3a increased at higher amount of the base (entries 3–5) and temperature (entries 5–7). The best result was obtained with 2 equivalents of t-BuOK in DMSO at ca. 110 °C for 10 minutes; the yield of pyrrole 4a in this case was excellent (98%) (Table [2], entry 7).

These reaction conditions were then applied to other pyrroles 3 to examine the scope of this protocol to synthesize 1-vinylpyrroles. The latter were obtained by treatment of compounds 3 with t-BuOK (2 equiv)–DMSO at 110–120 °C for 10–15 minutes (Tables 2 and 3), the yields of 5-(alkylsulfanyl)-substituted pyrroles 4ah reached 80–98% (Table [3]).

Scheme 3 Transformations of 5-(allylsulfanyl)-N,N-diethyl-1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-1H-pyrrol-2-amine (3i) in the presence of t-BuOK–DMSO

In this case, the elimination of vinyl alcohol is accompanied by base-induced isomerization of the allylsulfanyl group into prop-1-enylsulfanyl, and the rate of isomerization significantly exceeds that of the C–O bond cleavage, as evidenced from the presence of pyrrole 3i′ in the reaction mixture. Pyrrole 4i was isolated in 47% yield as a mixture of E/Z-isomers in a ratio of ca. 1:1 (by 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis). Similar isomer composition of pyrrole 3i′ was ca. 3:2, yield 6%.

However, we failed to obtain the corresponding 1-vinylpyrroles from pyrroles 3j and 3k containing base-sensitive substituents, such as propargylsulfanyl and cyanomethylsulfanyl groups. In both cases, even upon short-term contact with the superbasic t-BuOK–DMSO system, decomposition and tarring of products were observed.

When pyrrole 3l was treated with 2 equivalents of t-BuOK in DMSO at room temperature for 1 hour, the expected 1-vinylpyrrole 4l was not obtained. Surprisingly, instead 5-{[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethenyl]sulfanyl}-1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]pyrrole (6) was isolated in a yield of 68% (a mixture of E/Z-isomers in a ratio of ca. 60:40) (Scheme [4]).[20]

Formation of pyrrole 6 is explained by the presence of the substituent 5-[(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)sulfanyl] in addition to the 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl] group in the structure of pyrrole 3l; a competitive reaction center, as it turned out, also sensitive to the superbasic t-BuOK–DMSO system. Obviously, the SCH2 group is deprotonated more easily than the NCH2 group due to the expected stabilization of the formed carbanion center by the neighboring sulfur atom, and also that the C–O bond in the S–CHCH–O carbanion fragment generated by potassium tert-butoxide turns out to be significantly weaker than the C–O bond in the carbanionic fragment containing a nitrogen atom in the β-position to the oxygen atom, N–CHCH2–O, which leads to highly selective opening of the dioxolane ring and the formation of compound 6 (Scheme [4]).

When pyrrole 3l reacted with 3 equivalents of t-BuOK in DMSO at ca. 110 °C for 10 minutes, the target 5-[(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)sulfanyl]-1-vinylpyrrole 4l (yield 22%) was obtained, however, together with unexpected 5-(methylsulfanyl)-1-vinylpyrrole 4b (yield 14%) and 5-(methylsulfanyl)-1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]pyrrole 3b (yield 3%) (Scheme [5]).

Scheme 5 Transformations of 5-[(1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)sulfanyl]-1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]pyrrole (3l) in the presence of t-BuOK (3 equiv) in DMSO at high temperature

Reaction of pyrrole 3l with 2 equivalents of t-BuOK (under similar conditions) resulted in pyrrole 4l in a yield of 28% as the only reaction product (Table [2], entry 24). Methylsulfanyl-substituted pyrroles 3b and 4b were identified in 1H NMR spectrum of the reaction mixture in trace amounts.

When pyrrole 6 (the product of the opening of the dioxolane cycle in pyrrole 3l, Scheme [4]) was used, instead of pyrrole 3l, in the reaction depicted in Scheme [5], the same reaction products, that is, pyrroles 3b, 4b, and 4l, were obtained in comparable yields of 4%, 13%, and 21%, respectively. Besides, pyrrole 3l was also identified (yield 2%) among the reaction products.

This means that the reaction of pyrrole 3l with t-BuOK (Scheme [5]) proceeds, first, through the initial opening of the dioxolane cycle to give pyrrole 6, and, secondly, that at ca. 110 °C this reaction (3l → 6) becomes reversible (by analogy with the cyclization of ethyleneglycol monovinyl ether into 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane in the presence of a base[21]).

The observed formal acetalmethylsulfanyl exchange in the pyrrole ring likely occurs via superbase-catalyzed elimination of pyrrolyl thiolate anion F from the acetal ring-opened product G followed by the methylation of this sulfur-centered anion with DMSO (a well-known methylating agent[22]) to form the methylsulfanyl substituent (Scheme [6]).

Zoom Image
Scheme 6 Plausible mechanism of the reaction leading to SMe pyrroles

The remaining part of the cleaved molecule, acetylenic ether 7, undergoes base-catalyzed auto-oligomerization as a highly reactive species.

It should be noted that in all other cases, when R1 in pyrrole 3 was not Me, for instance, in SEt, SBu, and SCH2CH=CH2-substituted pyrroles 3gi, 5-(methylsulfanyl)pyrroles 3b and/or 4b were not detected among the reaction products. These results can serve as an additional confirmation of the reaction mechanism presented in Scheme [6], as well as the fact that in this case DMSO is a supplier of a methyl, and not a methylthio group.

We then examined the influence of the nature of the base, using t-BuONa or KOH instead of t-BuOK, in the reaction with pyrrole 3b. However, in the presence of t-BuONa (2 equiv)–DMSO under optimal conditions (118–120 °C, 15 min) satisfactory result was not obtained. The target pyrrole 4b was not identified in the reaction mixture (Table [2], entry 10). The only product was unreacted pyrrole 3b. In the presence of KOH (2 equiv)–DMSO (116–119 °C, 15 min) 1-vinylpyrrole 4b was obtained in the yield of ca. 8% (Table [2], entry 11).

Thus, it is evident that t-BuOK–DMSO system is the most suitable and effective base for the easy and fast transformation of 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]pyrroles 3 into 1-vinylpyrroles 4 via elimination of vinyl alcohol.

Elemental analysis, IR, NMR (1H, 13C, 1H–1H-COSY, 1H–13C-HSQC, 1H–13C-HMBC, 1H–15N-HMBC), and mass spectra are consistent with the composition and structure of the compounds 3, 4, and 6.

In conclusion, new concise, facile, and efficient methods for the three-component synthesis of a novel series of 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]- and 1-vinyl-5-sulfanyl-1H-pyrrol-2-amines have been described. It is shown that 1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-substituted pyrroles, generated in one preparative step from tertiary propargylamines, 2-(vinyloxy)ethyl isothiocyanate, and alkylating agents in high yields, are easily transformed (under action of t-BuOK–DMSO) into 1-vinylpyrroles with new structures. The synthesized compounds, containing highly reactive and pharmacophoric substituents, are very attractive objects for biological and medicinal research as well as synthons and building blocks for further elaboration of new useful products and materials by simple chemical manipulation involving both the pyrrole core and functional substituents.

Synthesis of employed propargylamines 1 was performed as described by Brandsma.[23] 2-(Vinyloxy)ethyl isothiocyanate (2) was prepared from the 2-(vinyloxy)ethylamine by our earlier reported methods.[24] n-BuLi (2.5 M solution in hexane) and other reagents and solvents are commercially available. All solvents were purified according to standard procedures. All the reactions with n-BuLi were performed under anhydrous conditions in an argon atmosphere. For reactions at low temperatures, a cooling bath with liquid N2 was used. Reaction courses and products mixtures were monitored by TLC on Merck silica gel 60 F254 aluminum sheets; plates were visualized by exposure to I2 vapor. Column chromatography purifications were carried out on neutral or basic alumina, using hexane, hexane–Et2O, Et2O, petroleum ether (PE), PE–Et2O as eluents.

IR spectra were recorded neat or as KBr pellets on a Bruker Vertex-70 infrared spectrophotometer. 1H (400.13 MHz), 13C (100.62 MHz), 15N (40.55 MHz), and 2D NMR spectra were recorded with Bruker DPX-400 and AV-400 spectrometers in CDCl3 at r.t. Chemical shifts are give to the nearest 0.01 ppm (for 1H) and 0.1 ppm (for 13C and 15N), and are referenced to hexamethyldisiloxane (for 1H), CDCl3 (for 13C), and MeNO2 (for 15N) as an internal standards. Coupling constants are reported to the nearest 0.1 Hz. Spectra were assigned using 2D experiments. The mass spectra (electron impact, 70 eV) were obtained on a Shimadzu GCMS-QP5050A instrument. GC analysis of reaction products was carried out on an Agilent 6890n chromatograph. Microanalyses were carried out with a Flash EA 1112 Series elemental analyzer. Melting points were determined using a SGW X-4 Melting-point apparatus with a microscope.

5-Sulfanyl-1-[2-(vinyloxy)ethyl]-1H-pyrrol-2-amines 3; General Procedures A–C


#

Procedure A

n-BuLi (16–60 mmol) in hexane (6.5–24 mL) was added to a vigorously stirred solution of propargylamine 1 (15–60 mmol) in anhyd THF (20–60 mL) at –70 to –60 °C under argon. The cooling bath was removed, and the temperature was allowed to rise to 0–10 °C. Then a mixture of 2-(vinyloxy)ethyl isothiocyanate (2; 15–50 mmol) and THF (3 mL) was added to the solution in one portion. After stirring for 5 min at 40–48 °C, the reaction mixture was cooled to –40 °C and a solution of t-BuOK (16–54 mmol) in DMSO (8–28 mL) was added. After stirring for 5 min at 45–55 °C, the mixture was cooled (mainly to 0 °C) and alkylating agent (16–104 mmol, 1.0–2.0 equiv) was added. After self-heating to r.t., the solution was stirred at 25–40 °C for 25–60 min, and then quenched with sat. aq NH4Cl (25–50 mL). The layers were separated, and the products were extracted from the aqueous fraction with Et2O (3 × 30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with sat. aq NH4Cl (3 × 30 mL), dried (MgSO4 or K2CO3), and concentrated under reduced pressure (on a rotary evaporator, then at ca. 1–2 mmHg) to give a residue from which target pyrrole 3 was isolated by distillation in vacuo or by column chromatography (alumina, hexane, hexane–Et2O, 10:1, 3:1, 1:1). The yields of the pyrroles 3 were based on isothiocyanate 2.


#

Procedure B

Similar to procedure A but, after addition of a solution of t-BuOK in DMSO followed by heating at 50–55 °C for 5 min, the reaction mixture was cooled to –10 °C and t-BuOH (3 equiv) and then alkylating agent were added.


#

Procedure C

Similar to procedure A, but, after addition of a solution of t-BuOK in DMSO followed by heating at 50–58 °C for 5–10 min, the reaction mixture was cooled to –10 °C and H2O and then alkylating agent were added.
