Popis: Three new dipyrromethenes have been synthesized as analogs of prodigiosin: 3-methoxy-5-phenyl-2,2′-dipyrromethene (10a), 3-methoxy-4 -pentyl-5-phenyl-5′-methyl-2,2′-dipyrromethene (10b), and 3-methoxy-4′-pentyl-5′-methyl-5-(2″-thienyl)-2,2′-dipyrromethene (10c). The Michael addition of ethyl glycinate to an appropriate arylidenemalonate, quenched with ethyl chloroformate and followed by a Dieckmann cyclization gave diethyl 1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-oxo-5-phenyl and thienylpyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate, 2a and 2b. Methylation of the highly enolic keto-esters, followed by oxidation to N-ethoxycarbonylpyrroles led, after appropriate elaboration of the pyrrole nucleus, to 2-phenyl- and 2-thienyl-4-methoxypyrroles. The acid catalyzed condensation of these arylmethoxypyrroles with either pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde or 5-methyl-4-pentylpyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde led to 10a, 10b and 10c.
