Definitions
- Diand tri-substituted pyrroles may be prepared by decarbonylating of the corresponding monoand di-carboxylic acid esters and monoand di-ketones by warming the esters of ketones with phosphoric acid.
- the tri-substituted pyrroles and even more so di-substituted pyrroles are sensitive to oxygen and hot acids, it is customary to carry out the hydrolysis and decarboxylation in an atmosphere of nitrogen or other inert gas.
- the yields of the tri-substituted pyrroles in most cases are unsatisfactory. In general, they are less than 50% of theory.
- the pyrrole is always accompanied by a large amount of resinous by-products (black or red tars) which, in many cases, form the main product of the reaction.
- pyrroles of Formula A are obtained in a high state of purity and in yields of over 80% of pure product in most cases, by the phosphoric acid decarbonylation of the corresponding pyrrole carboxylic acid esters of pyrrolyl ketones.
- R and R may be hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, cycloalkyl having a maximum of 8 carbon atoms, phenyl, halophenyl, lower alkoxyphenyl, and benzyl; R and R have the same values as R and R and may additionally be linked together to form an alicyclic ring having a maximum of 8 carbon atoms provided that in the monocyclic system one or two members of the group R R R and R are hydrogen, and in the bicyclic system, one member of the group R and R is hydrogen.
- the prefix lower alk designates a straight or branched carbon chain of 1-6 carbon atoms.
- a pyrrole nucleus having one or two carboxylic acid ester moieties, or keto-moieties substituted therein is heated with concentrated aqueous phosphoric acid. It is to be understood that they may be one or two carboxylic acid moieties or keto-moieties attached to the pyrrole ring itself provided that these moieties are not attached to adjacent carbon atoms.
- the carboxylic acid ester, or keto-moieties if monosubstituted may be at positions 2, 3, 4, or in the ring, where bisubstituted may be at positions 2 and 4, 2 and 5 or 3 and 5, whereas in the bicyclic system, only monosubstitution at positions 2 or 3 is feasible.
- the starting material utilized is a pyrrole of the following wherein n is 0, l, 2 or 3, R is OR, or R and R R R or R are lower alkyl, for example methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, or hexyl; lower alkenyl such as vinyl, allyl, butenyl or hexenyl; cycloalkyl, for example, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, or cyclobutyl, phenyl, halophenyl, such as fluorophenyl, bromophenyl or chlorophenyl; lower alkoxyphenyl, such as methoxy-, ethoxy-, propoxy-, or pentoxy-, phenyl or benzyl.
- R is lower alkyl such as methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl; phenyl
- the starting material is taken up in approximately ten times its weight of the phosphoric acid. It is preferred to use strong aqueous phosphoric acid of between 60 and 100% by weight, 85 commercial phosphoric acid being the most suitable.
- the mixture is heated if desired, in an inert atmosphere, preferably nitrogen at between 55 and 120 C. most suitably between 65 and 80 C. for from 5 to 30 minutes preferably for from between 10 to minutes. Where the starting material is a ketone rather than an ester reaction temperatures of between 130 and 145 C. are preferred.
- the reaction is quenched by pouring the reaction mixture onto ice and neutralizing the resultant aqueous suspension with a base, preferably aqueous ammonia.
- the decarbonylated pyrrole is then isolated suitably by extracting the aqueous suspension with a suitable water-immiscible organic solvent such as ether.
- the desired product is then isolated from the solvent in the usual manner.
- a general two-step method for the synthesis of the tri-substituted pyrroles of Formula A consists in the reductive condensation of and a-OXiInlnO keetone (VII) with a fi-keto-ester (VIII) which results in the formation of ester (IX) in accordance with the following reaction
- a similar method of synthesis (which leads to di-substituted pyrroles) consists in the reductive condensation of an u-oximino-B-ketoester (X) with a fi-keto-ester (VIII) with the dicarboxylic acid (XI) ester in accordance with the following reaction scheme:
- R and R have the significance above defined, and R designates, conveniently, a suitable alkyl group, preferably lower alkyl, e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, etc., or a phenyl or benzyl group.

Description
United States Patent O US. Cl. 260-313.1 14 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Diand tri-substituted pyrroles may be prepared by decarbonylating of the corresponding monoand di-carboxylic acid esters and monoand di-ketones by warming the esters of ketones with phosphoric acid.
RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation-in-part of our copending application Ser. No. 468,633 filed June 30, 1965, now abandoned.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION A novel method of decarbonylation carboxylic acid esters and ketones of pyrroles.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART Heretofore it has been known to decarboxylate the carboxylic acid esters of diand tri-substituted pyrroles particularly C-substituted pyrroles. However these methods have been substantially unfeasible for commercial application. In the principal method known to the art, the esters are hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to the tri-substituted pyrroles of Formula A by heating with strong sulfuric acid (3 vols. conc. H SO +1 vol. H O) on a steam 40 bath until the evolution of CO and the alcohol, e.g., C H OH when R is C H is completed. In general, this step takes from one to one and one-half hours. (See Formulas I to V1 in column -3).
Since the tri-substituted pyrroles and even more so di-substituted pyrroles, are sensitive to oxygen and hot acids, it is customary to carry out the hydrolysis and decarboxylation in an atmosphere of nitrogen or other inert gas. However, even under the most careful working conditions, the yields of the tri-substituted pyrroles in most cases are unsatisfactory. In general, they are less than 50% of theory. The pyrrole is always accompanied by a large amount of resinous by-products (black or red tars) which, in many cases, form the main product of the reaction.
We have found that the formation of these tars is due to the oxidation of the substituted pyrroles which occurs, even in the absence of oxygen, by the oxidative action of the hot sulfuric acid used in the process. Indeed, in working up the reaction mixtures, we have always observed a strong odor of S0 which results from the oxidative action of the H 80 the latter being reduced in the process.
We have now made the surprising discovery that the formation of the tars can be completely suppressed by eliminating the sulfuric acid and using phosphoric acid (concentration of 60% to 100%) in place thereof. The phosphoric acid of commerce has proved to be an excellent replacement for the sulfuric acid. The phosphoric acid is not only devoid of oxidative action but has the added advantages that the decarboxylation of the esters of Formulae IX and XI occurs at much lower temperatures and at a much faster rate than decarboxylations effected with sulfuric acid. Thus, when using sulfuric acid, temperatures of l20 C. and time intervals of one to one and one-half hours are required for completion of the reaction. In contrast thereto, decarboxylations with 85% phosphoric acid usually occur at 65-80 C.; and in most instances, are completed in ten to fifteen minutes.
It was found by Treibs and Schmidt [Ann. 577, (1952)] that carboxylic acid esters of pyrroles may be readily decarboxylated by the sequential steps of saponifying the esters by heating with aqueous sodium hydroxide for several hours followed by acidification with acetic acid. It will be readily seen that the process of the present invention which can be carried out in one step in a shorter period of time constitutes a far more commercially viable process than that disclosed by Treibs.
Moreover, attempts were made to carry out the decarboxylation of the carboxylic acid esters by heating the esters under reflux with glacial acetic acid. It was found that such treatment caused no change in the ester whatsoever and the decarboxylation was not observed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the process of the present invention, pyrroles of Formula A are obtained in a high state of purity and in yields of over 80% of pure product in most cases, by the phosphoric acid decarbonylation of the corresponding pyrrole carboxylic acid esters of pyrrolyl ketones.
The compounds of the present invention have the general Formula A wherein R and R may be hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, cycloalkyl having a maximum of 8 carbon atoms, phenyl, halophenyl, lower alkoxyphenyl, and benzyl; R and R have the same values as R and R and may additionally be linked together to form an alicyclic ring having a maximum of 8 carbon atoms provided that in the monocyclic system one or two members of the group R R R and R are hydrogen, and in the bicyclic system, one member of the group R and R is hydrogen.
The prefix lower alk. designates a straight or branched carbon chain of 1-6 carbon atoms.
In the general process of the present invention, a pyrrole nucleus having one or two carboxylic acid ester moieties, or keto-moieties substituted therein is heated with concentrated aqueous phosphoric acid. It is to be understood that they may be one or two carboxylic acid moieties or keto-moieties attached to the pyrrole ring itself provided that these moieties are not attached to adjacent carbon atoms. Thus, in the monocyclic system, the carboxylic acid ester, or keto-moieties if monosubstituted may be at positions 2, 3, 4, or in the ring, where bisubstituted may be at positions 2 and 4, 2 and 5 or 3 and 5, whereas in the bicyclic system, only monosubstitution at positions 2 or 3 is feasible.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the preferred modification of the present invention, the starting material utilized is a pyrrole of the following wherein n is 0, l, 2 or 3, R is OR, or R and R R R or R are lower alkyl, for example methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, or hexyl; lower alkenyl such as vinyl, allyl, butenyl or hexenyl; cycloalkyl, for example, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, or cyclobutyl, phenyl, halophenyl, such as fluorophenyl, bromophenyl or chlorophenyl; lower alkoxyphenyl, such as methoxy-, ethoxy-, propoxy-, or pentoxy-, phenyl or benzyl. R is lower alkyl such as methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl; phenyl; or benzyl.
The starting material is taken up in approximately ten times its weight of the phosphoric acid. It is preferred to use strong aqueous phosphoric acid of between 60 and 100% by weight, 85 commercial phosphoric acid being the most suitable. The mixture is heated if desired, in an inert atmosphere, preferably nitrogen at between 55 and 120 C. most suitably between 65 and 80 C. for from 5 to 30 minutes preferably for from between 10 to minutes. Where the starting material is a ketone rather than an ester reaction temperatures of between 130 and 145 C. are preferred. The reaction is quenched by pouring the reaction mixture onto ice and neutralizing the resultant aqueous suspension with a base, preferably aqueous ammonia. The decarbonylated pyrrole is then isolated suitably by extracting the aqueous suspension with a suitable water-immiscible organic solvent such as ether. The desired product is then isolated from the solvent in the usual manner.
PREPARATION OF STARTING MATERIALS A general two-step method for the synthesis of the tri-substituted pyrroles of Formula A consists in the reductive condensation of and a-OXiInlnO keetone (VII) with a fi-keto-ester (VIII) which results in the formation of ester (IX) in accordance with the following reaction A similar method of synthesis (which leads to di-substituted pyrroles) consists in the reductive condensation of an u-oximino-B-ketoester (X) with a fi-keto-ester (VIII) with the dicarboxylic acid (XI) ester in accordance with the following reaction scheme:
In the foregoing reaction schemes, R and R have the significance above defined, and R designates, conveniently, a suitable alkyl group, preferably lower alkyl, e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, etc., or a phenyl or benzyl group.
This method is also applicable to the formation of compounds of Formulae V and VI. Specific reference is made to the disclosure of tetrahydroindoles and cyclopentenopyrroles at Chem.
