Pyrrole-singlet oxygen reactions leading to α,α'-bipyrroles. Synthesis of prodigiosin and analogs
Wasserman, Harry H.,Petersen, Anders K.,Xia, Mingde,Wang, Jianji
, p. 7587 - 7589 (2007/10/03)
Reaction of the tert-butyl ester of 3-methoxy-2-pyrrolecarboxylic acid with singlet oxygen yields a hydroperoxide intermediate which undergoes coupling with pyrroles to yield precursors of prodigiosin and ring A analogs, readily convertible to the corresponding tripyrromethenes.
TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF PRODIGIOSIN
Boger, Dale L.,Patel, Mona
, p. 2499 - 2502 (2007/10/02)
The total synthesis of prodigiosin (1), possessing the characteristic pyrrolylpyrromethene skeleton of a class of naturally-occuring polypyrroles, is detailed.The approach is based on the application of an inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate in a 1,2,4,5-tetrazine -> 1,2-diazine -> pyrrole strategy for preparation of prodigiosin pyrrole ring B and the subsequent implementation of an intramolecular palladium(II)-promoted 2,2'-diaryl (2,2'-bipyrrole) coupling for construction of the prodigiosin 2,2'-bipyrrole AB ring system.
