Abstract:
An environmentally friendly synthesis of polysubstituted pyrroles in ionic liquid was achieved via a gold-catalyzed propargylic substitution/hydration/amination/cycloisomerization sequence. Treatment of propargylic alcohols, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, and arylamines in the presence of AuBr3 (5 mol%) and AgOTf (15 mol%) in [EMIM][NTf2] afforded polysubstituted pyrroles in good to high yield. This reaction involves reacting arylamine with the hydrated propargylic substitution product formed as an intermediate to yield polysubstituted pyrroles.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
Analogous to alkenes, alkynes also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration. While the addition of water to an alkene gives an alcohol, hydration of alkynes produces different products such as aldehydes and ketones.

Preparation of Alcohols via Substitution Reactions
Alcohols can be synthesized from alkyl halides via nucleophilic substitution reactions. The highly polar carbon-halogen bond in the substrate makes halide a good leaving group. The hydroxide ion or water can act as a nucleophile to take the place of halide and form an alcohol. The substitution reactions occur via two different reaction pathways, SN1 or SN2, depending on the nature of carbon attached to the halide.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
