“…Thus, we were unable to carry out electrochemical oxidations of 4 under acidic conditions directly analogous to those used in the case of the ironA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (III)-mediated oxidative coupling. [45] Nevertheless, we feel that one key to the present electrochemical approach is that it allows coupling to take place under lower proton concentrations than those required for chemical coupling. [46] At present, it is not possible to formulate a detailed mechanism for the reactions involving the conversion of bipyrrole 4 to the isolated cyclo [8]…”

Cyclo[8]pyrrole was obtained efficiently when 3,3',4,4'-tetraethylbipyrrole was subjected to bulk electrolysis, with yields spanning a range from close to 0 % with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride as the electrolyte, to almost 70 % when tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogensulfate was used for this purpose. These observations are consistent with the conclusion that the reaction is controlled by anion-related factors such as a specific templating effect. Note that cyclo[8]pyrrole was the only detectable macrocyclic product obtained from 3,3',4,4'-tetraethylbipyrrole under the conditions of the electrochemical oxidation. When similar electrolyses were performed by using 3,4-diethylpyrrole as the starting material, two products could be isolated, which were identified as being the cyclo[7]pyrrole and cyclo[8]pyrrole, respectively. Detailed analyses of the oxidized forms of cyclo[7]pyrrole and cyclo[8]pyrrole revealed that under the conditions of the electrolysis these latter species are not stable.

“…Furthermore, spectroscopic studies have been performed and the mechanism has been followed theoretically. 77 Since the unmodified polypyrrole is insoluble in most organic solvents, various groups focused on the synthesis of soluble derivatives. In this context, for example, Ohno and Toshima carried out catalytic polymerisations of 3-butoxycarbonyl-4-methylpyrrole (108) to give the corresponding polymeric product as a soluble conducting polymer 109 (Scheme 25).…”

In this critical review, the use of iron(III) chloride in oxidative C-C couplings of arenes and related unsaturated compounds is presented and reviewed. The approach allows highly selective dimerisations of phenol derivatives, naphthols, and heterocyclic compounds. Sequential couplings give access to structurally well-defined oligo- and polymers. Iron(III) chloride is commercially available and inexpensive. Being a mild oxidising agent it has been applied in numerous reactions leading to new carbon-carbon-bonds in complex molecular arrays (107 references).

“…The excess dopant addition to the polypyrrole may lead to a lower degree of conjugation along the polymer backbone resulting in a decrease in conductivity. [9,13] The conductivity of polypyrrole decreased steeply from 2.0 to 0.2 S Á cm À1 as oxidant concentration increased (0.012 to 0.018 M). This may be due to the over-oxidation process or it may be that the kinetic effects were favored in the oxidation of pyrrole.…”

Summary: Benzoyl peroxide is used as an oxidizing agent for the first time in the synthesis of conducting polypyrrole. Synthesis of polypyrrole is commonly performed by chemical oxidative polymerization using water‐soluble oxidizing agents. In this work, polypyrrole was prepared using organic solvent‐soluble benzoyl peroxide as an oxidizing agent in the presence of p‐toluenesulfonic acid (p‐TSA) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) surfactant via the inverted‐emulsion‐polymerization technique. During polymerization, SLS is converted to dodecyl hydrogensulfate (DHS) and incorporated on to polypyrrole along with p‐TSA dopant, indicating SLS is acting as emulsifier as well as dopant. The influence of synthesis conditions such as the duration of the reaction, the temperature, the concentration of the reactants, etc., on the properties of polypyrrole was investigated to determine the optimum conditions for the synthesis of polypyrrole salt. Polypyrrole was obtained in a reaction time of 1 h with high yield (154 wt.‐% with respect to pyrrole used) and good conductivity (2 S · cm−1). The conductivity of polypyrrole‐salt was found to be nearly the same even after seven months of storage at ambient temperature (1.7 S · cm−1). magnified image
