Synthesis and nucleophilic properties of 1,2-dialkyl-3-nitropyrroles and 1,5-dialkyl-4-nitropyrrole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives

Abstract

1,2-Dialkyl-3-nitropyrroles 1 are versatile synthetic tools for obtaining substituted pyrrolidines or fused ring heterocycles such as pyrrolopyridines, pyrrolopyrimidines or pyrroloazepines. We have established a method for obtaining compounds related to structure 1 and studied the reactivity as a nucleophile of the benzylic type moiety in the alkyl residue bound to position 2.
