“…2 In continuation of our previous computational studies concerning Diels-Alder reactions of nitro-substituted furans and thiophenes here we want to present the results of the analogous reaction of 2-nitro-1-tosylpyrrole 2c with Danischefsky's diene 5. [3][4][5] Experimentally, the sole product found in this reaction is 5-hydroxy-1-tosylindole (Scheme 1).…”

Conceptual density functional theory (chemical hardness η, electronic chemical potential µ, global and local electrophilicity index ω and ω k , Fukui function f + k) is used to predict reactivity, stereo-and regioselectivity of the Diels-Alder (DA) reaction between 2-nitropyrrole and its 1tosylated derivative with Danishefsky's diene to yield 5-hydroxyindoles. A detailed mechanistic study of various possible reaction channels is done by DFT [B3LYP/6-31G(d)] calculations. Solvent effects (benzene) are taken into account by the CPCM bulk solvation model. In principle, the nitropyrrole can either act as diene involving the nitro group (hetero Diels-Alder reaction, HAD) or alternatively as alkene in a "normal" Diels-Alder reaction. The experimentally observed product 5-hydroxy-1-tosylindole can be formed either directly by Diels-Alder reaction of the nitropyrrole acting as alkene or by rearrangement of the dihydrooxazine N-oxides. The primary cycloadduct with the nitropyrrole acting as alkene is found to be unstable reacting further by extrusion of nitrous acid to 5-hydroxyindole. Finally, the results are compared with those obtained for the analogous furans, thiophenes, and selenophenes.

During the last twenty years, our research group has been working with aromatic nitrosubstituted compounds acting as electrophiles in Polar Diels-Alder (P-DA) reactions with different dienes of diverse nucleophilicity. In this type of reaction, after the cycloaddition reaction, the nitrated compounds obtained as the [4+2] cycloadducts suffer cis-extrusion with the loss of nitrous acid and a subsequent aromatization. In this form, the reaction results are irreversible. On the other hand, the microwave-assisted controlled heating become a powerful tool in organic synthesis as it makes the reaction mixture undergo heating by a combination of thermal effects, dipolar polarization and ionic conduction. As the Diels-Alder (D-A) reaction is one of the most important process in organic synthesis, the microwave (MW) irradiation was applied instead of conventional heating, and this resulted in better yields and shorter reaction times. Several substituted heterocyclic compounds were used as electrophiles and different dienes as nucleophiles. Two experimental situations are involved: one in the presence of Protic Ionic Liquids (PILs) as solvent and the other under solvent-free conditions. The analysis is based on experimental data and theoretical calculations.
