Descrição

5,5′-Diethyl- and 5-phenyldipyrromethanes participate in cycloadditions with azo- and nitrosoalkenes giving dipyrromethanes with side chains containing open chain oximes and hydrazones. By controlling reaction stoichiometry it is possible to get mono or 1,9-disubstituted derivatives. The reported methodology gave access to a range of dipyrromethanes with good structural features for various applications. It was demonstrated that reduction of dipyrromethanes containing α-oximino ester groups opens the way to new α-amino esters.
