A simple synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives from the reaction of enaminones with β-nitrostyrenes, under solvent-free conditions, is described.Pyrrole and its derivatives are an important class of heterocycles and many naturally occurring pyrroles exhibit bioactivity 1,2 and are used as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and immunosuppressive agents. 3,4 Moreover, some pyrroles have found applications in polymer technology. 5 A large number of methods have been developed for synthesis of pyrroles, which include Knorr, Paal-Knorr, and Hantzsch syntheses. 6-10 Enaminones are also employed in several new preparations of pyrrole derivatives. 11,12 As a part of our current studies on the development of new routes in heterocyclic synthesis, 12-16 we now report a convenient and catalyst-free synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives from the reaction of enaminones with β-nitrostyrenes, under solvent-free conditions (Scheme 1).The reaction of enaminones (1) and β-nitrostyrenes (2) proceeds at room temperature to produce tetrasubstituted pyrroles 3 in moderate to good yields (Scheme 1). The structures of compounds 3 were deduced from their IR, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectroscopic data. The mass spectra of these compounds displayed molecular ion peaks at appropriate m/z values. The 1 H NMR spectrum of 3a in CDCl 3 showed four singlets for methyl (δ = 2.04 and 2.45 ppm), methylene (δ = 5.08 ppm), and methine (δ = 6.56 ppm) protons, together with a multiplet (δ = 7.10-7.44 ppm) for the phenyl protons. The 13 C NMR spectrum of 3a showed 16 signals in agreement with the proposed structure. Partial assignments of these resonances are given in experimental section. * Correspondent.
