The reactions of substituted pyrroles with terminal acylacetylenes occur selectively to form 2-(Z/E-2-acylvinyl)pyrroles. When the reactions are performed on the surface of silica get, C-vinylation is noticeably accelerated to lbrm predominantly E-isomers. ESR spectroscopy with the use of a spin trap demonstrated the ion-radical character of the process. The structures of the adducts synthesized, which exist as anti-s-cis-and &vn-s-cis-rotamers, were studied by IR. UV, and NMR spectroscopy.
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.
