Reaction condition optimization Reactions of enol 5a, NH4OAc, and 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (6a) under various conditions were investigated (Table 1). When heated together in EtOH at 70 °C overnight, the starting material was consumed and 37% of the desired product 7a was detected by HPLC analysis (entry 1). Enamine 8 was identified as a major side-product (27%). To investigate whether this enamine is productive, 8 was independently synthesized and subjected to the reaction conditions with no conversion to 7a observed. 11 While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the reaction mechanism proceeds through initial condensation of ammonia with the aldehyde. Utilization of 1,4-dioxane resulted in increased conversion to the desired product 7a (60%) and reduction of enamine 8 (4%); however, when the reaction was performed in toluene 74% of the starting material was left unconsumed (entries 2 and 3). Other ethereal solvents, such as THF, CPME, and TBME were also productive. 11 Increasing the equivalents of aldehyde from 1.0 to 1.5 was beneficial (entry 4) and gave 70% of pyrrole 7a (isolated in 58% yield); however, increasing the equivalents further provided no apparentl advantage (entry 5).. Use of (NH4)2CO3 resulted in a significant reduction in conversion, whereas NH4Cl provided no detectable levels of product (entries 6 and 7). 1 The reaction was relatively insensitive to the equivalents of NH4OAc but adding >5 equivalents did not appear to be beneficial (entries 8 and 9).. Conducting the reaction at 90 °C resulted in complete conversion of the starting material and 64% of pyrrole 7a was detected (entry 11), whereas decreasing the temperature to 50 °C led to a significant reduction in product formation (entry 11). It was still observed that when the reaction was performed in toluene (entry 3), formation of enamine 8 was also suppressed. In a mixed solvent system 69% of the product 7a was observed (entry 12), matching the conversion observed in 1,4-dioxane. Additionally, full consumption of the starting material was observed and formation of enamine 8 was minimized. Table 1. a
