According to the (1)H, (13)C and (15)N NMR spectroscopic data and ab initio calculations, the strong N--H...O intramolecular hydrogen bond in the Z-isomers of 2-(2-acylethenyl)pyrroles causes the decrease in the absolute size of the (1)J(N,H) coupling constant by 2 Hz in CDCl(3) and by 4.5 Hz in DMSO-d(6), the deshielding of the proton and nitrogen by 5-6 and 15 ppm, respectively, and the lengthening of the N--H link by 0.025 A. The N--H...N intramolecular hydrogen bond in the 2(2'-pyridyl)pyrrole leads to the increase of the (1)J(N,H) coupling constant by 3 Hz, the deshielding of the proton by 1.5 ppm and the lengthening of the N--H link by 0.004 A. The C--H...N intramolecular hydrogen bond in the 1-vinyl-2-(2'-pyridyl)-pyrrole results in the increase of the (1)J(C,H) coupling constant by 5 Hz, the deshielding of the proton by 1 ppm and the shortening of the C--H link by 0.003 A. Different behavior of the coupling constants and length of the covalent links under the hydrogen bond influence originate from the different nature of the hydrogen bonding (predominantly covalent or electrostatic), which depends in turn on the geometry of the hydrogen bridge. The Fermi-contact mechanism only is responsible for the increase of the coupling constant in the case of the predominantly electrostatic hydrogen bonding, whereas both Fermi-contact and paramagnetic spin-orbital mechanisms bring about the decrease of coupling constant in the case of the predominantly covalent hydrogen bonding.
A detailed study of the reaction of trifluoroacetylated acetylenes and aryl (alkyl) hydrazines was performed, aimed to the regioselective synthesis of 3- or 5-trifluoromethylated pyrazoles. It was found that the regioselectivity of reaction depends dramatically on the solvent nature. Highly polar protic solvents (hexafluoroisopropanol) favor the formation of 3-trifluoromethylpyrazoles. In contrast, when the reaction was performed in polar aprotic solvents (DMSO), the formation of their 5-CF-substituted isomers was preferentially observed. Alternatively, the regioselective assembly of 3-CF-substituted pyrazoles can be performed via two-step one-pot procedure. The reaction of trifluoromethylated ynones with aryl (alkyl) hydrazines in the presence of acidic catalysts leads to formation of the corresponding hydrazones. The latter can be smoothly transformed into 3-CF-pyrazoles by treatment with a base. This solvent-switchable procedure was used for the preparation of such important drugs as Celebrex and SC-560 as well as their isomers in gram scale. The possible reaction mechanism is discussed.
According to the (1)H, (13)C and (15)N NMR spectroscopic data and DFT calculations, the E-isomer of 1-vinylpyrrole-2-carbaldehyde adopts preferable conformation with the anti-orientation of the vinyl group relative to the carbaldehyde oxime group and with the syn-arrangement of the carbaldehyde oxime group with reference to the pyrrole ring. This conformation is stabilized by the C-H...N intramolecular hydrogen bond between the alpha-hydrogen of the vinyl group and the oxime group nitrogen, which causes a pronounced high-frequency shift of the alpha-hydrogen signal in (1)H NMR (approximately 0.5 ppm) and an increase in the corresponding one-bond (13)C-(1)H coupling constant (ca 4 Hz). In the Z-isomer, the carbaldehyde oxime group turns to the anti-position with respect to the pyrrole ring. The C-H...O intramolecular hydrogen bond between the H-3 hydrogen of the pyrrole ring and the oxime group oxygen is realized in this case. Due to such hydrogen bonding, the H-3 hydrogen resonance is shifted to a higher frequency by about 1 ppm and the one-bond (13)C-(1)H coupling constant for this proton increases by approximately 5 Hz.
A general efficient route to hitherto inaccessible symmetric and asymmetric meso-CF(3)-BODIPY dyes has been developed. The key stages include the reduction of available 2-trifluoroacetylpyrroles to the corresponding alcohols which are further condensed with pyrroles. The method allows the BODIPY with 3(5)aryl(hetaryl) and 3,5-diaryl(hetaryl) substituents to be readily assembled. The BODIPY dyes synthesized fluoresce (Φ(f) = 0.56-1.00) in the 560-680 nm region.
