Syntheses of Bile Pigments, XII. Synthesis of E,Z,Z‐Configurated Biliverdins from 5(1H)‐Pyrromethenones of the Same Configuration
(Z,Z,Z)‐ and (E,Z,Z)‐mesobiliverdin IIIα dimethyl esters 4 are obtained by acid‐catalyzed condensation of methyl 5′‐(tert‐butoxycarbonyl)isoneoxanthobilirubinate with methyl (Z)‐ and (E)‐5′‐formylisoneoxanthobilirubinate, respectively.
The configuration at the exocyclic double bond of the two stereoisomers of 5'-ethoxycarbonyl-3,4-dihydro-3',4'-dimethyl-5(IH)-2,2'-pyrromethenone has been established by .X-ray analysis
TFA‐katalysierte Kondensation des (Z)‐Pyrromethenonaldehydes (Ia) mit (Z)‐Pyrromethenoncarbonsäureester (IIa) liefert den (Z,Z,Z)‐konfigurierten Mesobiliverdin‐IIIoz‐dimethylester (IIIa); das (Z,Z,E)‐Isomere (IIIb) entsteht unter analogen Bedingungen aus (Ib) und (IIa) oder (IIb).
Die Dipyrrylmethanone (II), die bekanntlich durch katalytische Hydrierung von Pyrromethenonen (I) zugänglich sind, werden nur in alkalischem Medium (a)) als Hauptprodukte gebildet; in Abwesenheit von Base (b)) entstehen die Produkte (II) und (III) zu etwa gleichen Teilen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
