2.2. Background and context   About one-half of all known compounds contain a heterocyclic ring, and many of these, an aromatic heterocyclic ring. Heteroaromatics are found in very many of the products of both primary and secondary metabolism as well as in many synthetic compounds of commercial interest such as drugs, pest control agents, colouring agents, flavourings. They comprise the basic building blocks for many new materials such as porphyrazines and semi-conducting polymers, and as ligands for homogeneous asymmetric catalysis. Thus they are of vital importance and (still) represent a very active area of current research.   2.3.   Ring Synthesis 2.3.1.   General Comments There are a (seemingly overwhelming) number of methods (each of which generally has it own name) for the construction of heteroaromatic ring systems, but the heteroaromatics are typically synthesised by the pertinent use of a small family of well known reaction types:      1.Aldol  sneoRicta  2.elahciMAdditions  3.maninEeons cait eR  4.oitandensConeR itca sno   2.3.2. Type I and Type II As far as disconnection strategies go almost every angle has been explored, but the majority of the most efficient syntheses can be classified as either "Type I" or Type "II":     Type IC4 fragment + X (for a five membered ring)  C5 fragment + X (for a six membered ring)  Type IIC2 fragment (five) + C2X  C3 fragment + C2X (six)   In these cases, X is a heteroatom and usually a nucleophile, hence the C-fragments must be electrophilic. 2.4. General properties of 5-membered rings Furan, thiophene and pyrrole arearomaticby virtue of their planarity and the uninterrupted cycle of p-orbitals containing six electrons: four from the two double bonds and two from a lone pair of the heteroatom (i.e. the extent of However, Hückel's 4n + 2 rule). obeys aromaticity (as determined by resonance energies, see below) for these compounds is different from that of benzene (which undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions) and this is the determining factor in their chemistry (vide infra).    8

Indeed, they undergo electrophilic substiution much more readily than benzene and attack is predominately in the 2-position (due to relative stabilities of Wheland intermediates).  Other facets of their reactivity, includingmetallation, which are generally not available to benzene derivatives will be examined later in the course.

3. Furan (read this before lecture 2) 3.1. General The aromatic furan system is a familiar motif in many natural products, occurring widely in secondary plant metabolites. The extremely important Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is formally a 1,2,3-trihydroxyfuran, but assumes a tautomeric lactone form. [This is a first clue towards the somewhat "lacklustre" aromaticity displayed by furans]. Furan is derived commercially from the decarbonylation of furfuraldehyde which in turn is readily available from the action of mineral acids on vegetable matter (e.g., oats, maizeetc) and hence the name furan (furfur is Latin for bran).   HO OH O CHO HO O O HO H Furfuraldehyde Vitamin  C           3.2. Physical and spectroscopic properties Low boiling (b.p. 31û with 6 PlanarC), toxic liquid.π-electrons and hence aromatic. Bond lengths show intermediacy between single and double bonds characteristic of aromatics (cf   typical bond lengths: C-C single bond, 1.53Å, isolated C=C bond, 1.34Å; aliphatic C-O bond, 1.43Å; benzene C-C bond 1.39Å).

3.3. Syntheses and Reactivity Syntheses:   Two classical methods:  1.Paal-KnorrSynthesis (Type I). Very general  Involves the dehydration of1,4-dicarbonyl compounds ( γ -hydoxy- α , β -unsaturated enones can also be employed) undernon-aqueousacidic conditions.    2.Feist-BenarySynthesis (Type II). Very general  Involves an aldol addition of a (deprotonated)1,3-dicarbonyl to an compound α - halocarbonyl moiety followed by subsequent ring closure.   Commercial process:   X Oat Husks  H + ylose  (penotes)s H tsae m + distill fufuraldehyde  product Many   Miscellaneous methods:  There are many, many, other elegant and efficient routes to access furans (browse through any recent copy of the journalHeterocycles) and these cannot be discussed at length here. Some representative examples will be given.   Reactivity of furans:   Due to the relatively small aromatic stabilisation in furan [resonance energy 88 KJmol -1 ] the chemistry of furan is not only that of electrophilic substitution but also that of the other functionalities: enol ether and diene chemistry.   "normal" electrophilic substitution 2-substituted furans O enol ether chemistry  ring opened adducts/polymeric material O diene chemistry  bicyclic adducts O e.g., Diels-Alder

4. Pyrrole and Thiophene 4.1. General (read this before lecture 3) Thiophenes and pyrroles are also extremely important compounds - vital for the chemistry of life. For instance, a tetrahydrothiophene unit is contained in Biotin (Vitamin H) and is one of the chief components in yeast and eggs. For the pyrroles, the classic examples are that of haem, chlorophyllaand vitamin B 12 . Pyrrole was first isolated in 1857 and its name derives from the Greek for red - referring to the bright red colour which pyrrole imparts to pinewood shavings when moistened with concentrated hydrochloric acid(!). The name thiophene was coined by Victor Meyer in 1882 to highlight its apparent similarity to benzene (theion is greek for sulphur): it was discovered as a contaminant of coal-tar benzene.   O N N HN NH  Mg H H  N  N Chlorophylla OH S O Biotin MeO 2 C (Vitamin H) O O       4.2. Physical and spectroscopic properties Both are liquids (thiophene, b.p. 84ûC; pyrrole, b.p. 139ûC). Both are expected to be aromatic since they comply with Hückel's rule. The bond lengths and 1 H NMR shifts are consistent with this expectation. Thiophene displays a dipole moment of 0.52 D towards the heteroatom by virtue of its lone pair whereas pyrrole (where the lone pair is directly involved in the π -cloud) shows a solvent dependent dipole moment of approx. 1.55 D away from the heteroatom.   J= 3.3 Hz J= 2.1 Hz 1.42Å 1.42Å H H δ H = 6.87 ppm  H H δ H = 6.05 ppm 1.37Å J  1.38Å = 5 Hz J= 2.7 Hz S H δ H  H = 6.99 ppm  N δ H = 7.70 ppm H 1.71Å 1.37Å    19

4.3. Synthesis of pyrroles:   Three classical methods:      1.Paal-KnorrSynthesis (Type I).  As for furans, but involves the reaction of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds with ammonia or primary amines. Gives 2,4-disubstituted or 1,2,4-trisubstituted pyrroles.    2.KnorrSynthesis (Type II).  Condensation between α -aminoketonesand β -ketoesters 3-substituted pyrroles. Gives after hydrolysis and decarboxylation.    3.HantzschSynthesis (Type II).  Involves reaction betweenenaminoesterand an α -chloroketone. Gives 2,5- disubstituted pyrroles after hydrolysis and decarboxylation.   4.3.1. Paal-Knorr (Type I)   R R  NH 3 O O (eg. R = H) R'NH 2

4.4. Reactivity (read also this for lecture 3) More like furan than benzene (resonance energy for pyrrole 100 KJmol -1 ). Very electron rich and so very reactive to electrophiles (approx. 10 6 more reactive than furan) but the presence of the N-H group provides additional scope for reactivity. Hence a more varied and complex chemistry than furan.   1.Electrophilic reagents:    As for furan. Sensitive to acid therefore mild reagents used (as per furan). 2- Substituted adducts.   2.Carbene reactions(Reimer-Tiemannreaction)  Reacts withelectrophilic carbenes (e.g. :CCl 2 ). Product distribution dependent on reaction conditions.   3.Metallation:    Pyrrole itself is a weak acid (pKa 17.5) and the N-H is readily deprotonated. The resulting pyrryl anions areambident nucleophilesand their reactivity is cation dependent. "Ionicaetcw ti hlecertophiles at s "K +  (tsal r + )Na, nitrogen whilst salts with morecovalent   character (Li + , MgX + ) react with soft electrophiles (carbon, sulphur, halogen) at the 2- position (i.e.oncarbon) but withhardelectrophiles at nitrogen.   Npyrroles are readily deprotonated by strong lithium bases in the-Protected 2- position The and can be quenched with electrophiles giving 1,2-substituted pyrroles. deprotonation can be deflected to the 3-position by judicious choice of a large protecting group (e.g. triisopropylsilyl) on the nitrogen.   4.Reaction with dienophiles:  Pyrrole itself rarely undergoes direct Diels-Alder reactions; the usual result is 2- substitution (viaan electrophilic substitution pathway) because the dienophile simply acts as an electrophile.N-Acylatedpyrroles, however, are less electron rich and less "aromatic" and givenormal Diels-Alder adducts.   5.Condensations:    The nucleophilic pyrrole ring reacts readily with ketones and aldehydes underacidic catalysis form di-, tri- and totetrapyrrolic The oligomers. macrocyclic tetramers are especially stable and form planar species which accomodate a wide range of metal ions at their core (vide supra, introduction, lecture 1).
