Little discovery in the laboratory: a new route for 2199-44-2

This literature about this compound(2199-44-2)Reference of Ethyl 3,5-Dimethyl-2-pyrrolecarboxylatehas given us a lot of inspiration, and I hope that the research on this compound(Ethyl 3,5-Dimethyl-2-pyrrolecarboxylate) can be further advanced. Maybe we can get more compounds in a similar way.

In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Some transformations of 2,4-dimethylpyrrole, published in 1923, which mentions a compound: 2199-44-2, Name is Ethyl 3,5-Dimethyl-2-pyrrolecarboxylate, Molecular C9H13NO2, Reference of Ethyl 3,5-Dimethyl-2-pyrrolecarboxylate.

From 0.9 g. 2,4-dimethylpyrrole (I) and 0.8 g. MeCN in cold Et2O saturated with dry HCl and allowed to stand 1 day is obtained 0.7 g. of the ketimine, m. 100°, sublimes 100° (HCl salt, green needles), of 2,4-dimethyl-5-acetylpyrrole (II). The ketimine is reduced by H and Pt sponge in alc. to I and when boiled with H2O to disappearance of the NH3 odor, 0.7 g. of it gives 0.3 g. II, m. 121°. 2,4-Dimethyl-5-chloroacetylpyrrole (0.9 g. from 1 g. I and 1 g. MeCN in cold Et2O saturated with dry HCl and allowed to stand 0.5 hr. in ice), m. 143°, gives in alc. with 30% NHMe2 after 0.5 hr. at 100° the 5-dimethylaminoacetyl derivative, m. 110°, while 0.5 g. boiled 0.5 min. in alc. with 40% HCHO and a few drops concentrated HCl yields 0.4 g. bis-[2,4-dimethyl-5-chloroacetylpyrryl]methane, m. 258°, which with NHMe2 in alc. gives the bis-5-dimethylaminoacetyl derivative m. 170°. I (1 g.) boiled up several times with 2 g. of 90% HCO2H and 10 drops of 20% HClO4 and allowed to stand 1 day gives 0.5 g. of the perchlorate, becomes discolored 200°, does not m. 260°, of bis-[2,4-dimethyl-pyrryl]methene, yellow, m. 117°. 2,4-Dimethyl-5-carbethoxypyrrole (III), obtained in 60-70% yield from I and EtMgBr and subsequent treatment with ClCO2Et, m. 125°, gives a positive Ehrlich aldehyde reaction in the cold, is hydrolyzed by boiling 50% KOH to the free acid, m. 136°, also obtained from the above Grignard compound with CO2. 2,4-Dimethyl-5-carbethoxypyrrole-3-aldehyde (IV). obtained in 85% yield from III and HCN in cold Et2O saturated with dry HCl and subsequent decomposition of the resulting imide chloride with hot H2O, m. 145°, gives a faint Ehrlich aldehyde reaction in the cold, more strongly on heating; 3 g. heated with 1:1 KOH until completely dissolved (about 15 min.) gives 2.2 g. of the free 5-carboxyaldehyde, m. 230°, which on distillation in vacuo yields 2,4-dimethylpyrrole-3-aldehyde, m. 126°, gives a positive aldehyde reaction even in the cold. Phenylhydrazone of IV, m. 204°. Azlactone, C19H18O4N2 (1.3 g. from 1.2 g. IV, 1.8 g. hippuric acid, 2.2 g. NaOAc and 20 cc. Ac2O heated 35 min. on the H2O bath), m. 232°. Oxime, m. 196-7°, converted by boiling NaOAc-Ac2O into the nitrile, C10H12O2N2, m. 171°. Semicarbazone, m. 285° (decomposition), converted by Na in alc. after 8 hrs. at 160-70° into 2,3,4-trimethylpyrrole. 2,4-Dimethyl-5-carbethoxy-3-chloroacetylpyrrole, from III and ClCH2CN, m. 163°, gives a faint positive Ehrlich reaction on heating, is highly sternutatory when powdered, gives in boiling alc. with aqueous KCN the 3-cyanoacetyl derivative, m. 172-3°.
