2.4 Trofimov Synthesis of Pyrroles.

A one pot synthesis of pyrroles and N-vinylpyrroles from ketones and acetylenes (via the ketoximes) in a KOH–DMSO superbase system (the Trofimov reaction [1-3]) is used ever more widely thanks to its simplicity and the availability of the starting materials.

Various dl- and meso-tetraarylethanes were diastereoseletively synthesized by this new protocol, where base plays the role of the principle modulator: Grignard reagents selectively provide the C2 isomers, whereas KOt-Bu promotes the formation of the meso-tetraarylethanes.

Dendralenes are cross-conjugated hydrocarbons that quickly became attractive starting materials for organic synthesis. The following example shows a diene-transmissive Diels–Alder addition of DMAD to dendralene . The process could be stopped at the mono adduct stage , but it could also be performed, under harsher conditions, to yield directly the 2:1 adduct (Scheme []).[]

Zwitterions are transient intermediates formed by the addition of neutral nucleophiles to electrophilic receptors. Zwitterions are a unique tool in organic synthesis leading to a variety of heterocycles. These reactive intermediates can be captured by suitable substrates (e.g., nucleophiles), after a series of transformations. In fact, it was found that in the case of acetylenedicarboxylate, three reaction paths are possible (paths A, B and C). Basically, in both paths A and C the nucleophile is added irreversibly, leading to a multi-component reaction. On the other hand, in path B the nucleophile gets eliminated from the system, and thus plays a catalytic role, conducting a two-component reaction. Path B usually involves nucleophiles, such as phosphines and tertiary amines such as pyridines and quinolines, while paths A and C involve mainly nucleophilic heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and isocyanides (Scheme []).
