Heterocyclic Chemistry N Chapter 10:Pyrroles, S Reactions and Synthesis O Heterocyclic Chemistry N Chapter 10:Pyrroles, S Reactions and Synthesis O M. R. Naimi-Jamal Pyrroles: Reactions and Synthesis Based On: J. A. Joule & K. Mills’s Heterocyclic َ◌ Chemistryocyclic Chemistry Pyrrole and the simple alkyl - pyrroles are colourless liquids, with relatively weak odours rather like that of aniline, which, also like the anilines, darken by autoxidation. Pyrrole itself is readily available commercially, and is manufactured by alumina - catalysed gas - phase interaction of furan and ammonia. Pyrrole was fi rst isolated from coal tar in 1834 and then in 1857 from the pyrolysate of bone, the chemistry of which is similar to an early laboratory method for the preparation of pyrrole – the pyrolysis of the ammonium salt of the sugar acid, mucic acid. The word pyrrole is derived from the Greek for red, which refers to the bright red colour which pyrrole imparts to a pinewood shaving moistened with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Reactions with Electrophilic Reagents Protonation In solution, reversible proton addition occurs at all positions, being by far the fastest at the nitrogen, and about twice as fast at C-2 as at C-3. In the gas phase, mild acids like C4H9+ and NH 4+ protonate pyrrole only on carbon and with a larger proton affinity at C-2 than at C-3. Thermodynamically, the stablest cation is the 2H-pyrrolium ion, formed by protonation at C-2 and observed pK aH values for pyrroles are for these 2- protonated species. The weak N -basicity of pyrroles is the consequence of the absence of mesomeric delocalisation of charge in the 1 H - pyrrolium cation. Reactions with Electrophilic Reagents Reactions of Protonated Pyrroles For preparation of 3-NO2: Although unstable compounds, 2-bromo - and 2-chloropyrrole (also using SO2Cl2 ) can be prepared by direct halogenation of pyrrole with the N - halo – succinimides. Acylation Direct acetylation of pyrrole with acetic anhydride at 200 ° C leads to 2 - acetylpyrrole as main product, together with some 3 - acetylpyrrole, but no N – acetylpyrrole. Ac2O O + 3-isomer N 200°C N major minor Acylation The more reactive trifluoroacetic anhydride and trichloro- acetyl chloride react with pyrrole efficiently, even at room temperature, to give 2 - substituted products, alcoholysis or hydrolysis of which provides a clean route to pyrrole - 2-esters or -acids. Vilsmeier acylation of pyrroles Alkylation Mono -C-alkylation of pyrroles cannot be achieved by direct reaction with simple alkyl halides, either alone or with a Lewis - acid catalyst, for example pyrrole does not react with methyl iodide below 100 ° C; above about 150 ° C, a series of reactions occurs leading to a complex mixture made up mostly of polymeric material together with some poly - methylated pyrroles. The more reactive allyl bromide reacts with pyrrole at room temperature, but mixtures of mono - to tetra - allyl - pyrroles together with oligomers and polymers are obtained. The simplest dipyrromethane, bis(pyrrol-2-yl)methane, can be obtained directly from pyrrole with aqueous formalin in acetic acid; reaction in the presence of potassium carbonate allows 2,5-bis-hydroxymethylpyrrole to be isolated. This diol reacts with pyrrole in dilute acid to give tripyrrane and from this, reaction with 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyrrole gives porphyrinogen, which can be oxidised with chloranil (2,3,5,6 –tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone) to porphine, the simplest porphyrin. Other examples: Reactions with Oxidising Agents Simple pyrroles are generally easily attacked by strong oxidising agents, frequently with complete breakdown. Hydrogen peroxide is a more selective reagent and can convert pyrrole itself into a tautomeric mixture of pyrrolin-2-ones in good yield. Reactions with Nucleophilic Reagents Pyrrole and its derivatives do not react with nucleophilic reagents by addition or by substitution, except in the same type of situation that allows nucleophilic substitution in benzene chemistry, i.e. where the leaving group is ortho or para to an electron - withdrawing group: the two examples below are illustrative. A key step in a synthesis of ketorolac, an analgesic and anti-infl ammatory agent, involves an intramolecular nucleophilic displacement of a methanesulfonyl group activated by a 5-ketone. Reactions with Bases Deprotonation of N - Hydrogen and Reactions of Pyrryl Anions Pyrrole N-hydrogen is much more acidic (pKa 17.5) than that of a comparable saturated amine, say pyrrolidine (pKa 44), or aniline (pKa 30.7), and of the same order as that of 2,4 - dinitroaniline. Any very strong base will effect complete conversion of an N-unsubstituted∼ pyrrole into the correspon-ding pyrryl anion, perhaps the most convenient being commercial n-butyllithium solution. The pyrryl anion is nucleophilic at nitrogen and thus provides the means for the introduction of groups onto pyrrole nitrogen, for example using alkyl halides. Direct Ring C – H Metallation The C-lithiation of pyrroles requires the absence of the acidic N-hydrogen, i.e. the presence of an N-substituent. Metal – Halogen Exchange Reactions with Reducing Agents Simple pyrroles are not reduced by hydride reducing agents or diborane, but are reduced in acidic media, in which the species under attack is the protonated pyrrole. The products are 2,5 - dihydropyrroles, accompanied by some of the pyrrolidine as by - product. Electrocyclic Reactions (Ground State) Simple pyrroles do not react as 4 π components in Diels – Alder cycloadditions: exposure of pyrrole to benzyne, for example, leads only to 2-phenylpyrrole, in low yield. However N - substitution, particularly with an electron - withdrawing group, does allow such reactions to occur, Synthesis of Pyrroles and Indoles Carbonyl condensations (c.f. chapt. 3) - Pyrroles a X b X X c X Strategy a; Paal-Knorr synth.

    The Nitrogen Dioxide Oxidation of Starch* J. W. Mench, with Ed F. Degering, Purdue University Although the literature contains over two hundred references to the oxidation of starch, little is known concerning the structures of the products because various oxidants may simultaneously attack one or more of the hydroxl groups to produce a complicated structure containing car- boxyl, aldehyde, and ketone groupings. An exception appears to result when periodic acid is used, since this oxidant seemingly exhibits a specificity towards parts of the carbohydrate molecule containing adja- 1 2 cent, secondary hydroxyl groupings. - The observations of Unruh, Yec- kel, and Kenyon,M that cellulose can be oxidized with nitrogen dioxide to a polyanhydroglucuronic acid, indicate that this reagent preferentially attacks the primary hydroxyl groups in certain glycosides. We have attempted to apply to starch both the static and cyclic method of oxidation reported by these men, in an effort to produce the alpha-linked polyanhydroglucuronic acids. However, the tendency of the powdered carbohydrate to pack made these procedures unsatisfactory, since the reactions were difficult to control and at least partial hydrolysis of the starch frequently occurred. We have found, however, that under suitable conditions, starch may be oxidized by nitrogen dioxide to produce a new type of oxidized starch containing, predominately, uronic acid residues. This point was con- firmed, qualitatively, by a positive beta-naphthol test,5 which indicated the presence of glucuronic acid, although attempts to hydrolyze the prod- ucts to glucuronic acid, and to prepare the cinchonine salt or oxime of this compound were without success. The procedure and diluent utilized in this work was suggested by the work of Maurer and Drefahl,6 who oxidized galactose, methyl gluco- side, and methyl galactoside with nitrogen dioxide in carbon tetrachloride or chloroform—obtaining mucic acid and the corresponding substituted uronic acids, respectively.

  • Elimination of Galactaric Acid Catabolism by Using RNA Sequencing and CRISPR/Cas9 Joosu Kuivanen*†, Y.‑M
    Kuivanen et al. Microb Cell Fact (2016) 15:210 DOI 10.1186/s12934-016-0613-5 Microbial Cell Factories RESEARCH Open Access Engineering Aspergillus niger for galactaric acid production: elimination of galactaric acid catabolism by using RNA sequencing and CRISPR/Cas9 Joosu Kuivanen*†, Y.‑M. Jasmin Wang† and Peter Richard Abstract Background: meso-Galactaric acid is a dicarboxylic acid that can be produced by the oxidation of D-galacturonic acid, the main constituent of pectin. Mould strains can be engineered to perform this oxidation by expressing the bacterial enzyme uronate dehydrogenase. In addition, the endogenous pathway for D-galacturonic acid catabolism has to be inactivated. The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger would be a suitable strain for galactaric acid produc‑ tion since it is efficient in pectin hydrolysis, however, it is catabolizing the resulting galactaric acid via an unknown catabolic pathway. Results: In this study, a transcriptomics approach was used to identify genes involved in galactaric acid catabolism. Several genes were deleted using CRISPR/Cas9 together with in vitro synthesized sgRNA. As a result, galactaric acid catabolism was disrupted. An engineered A. niger strain combining the disrupted galactaric and D-galacturonic acid catabolism with an expression of a heterologous uronate dehydrogenase produced galactaric acid from D-galactu‑ ronic acid. The resulting strain was also converting pectin-rich biomass to galactaric acid in a consolidated bioprocess. Conclusions: In the present study, we demonstrated the use of CRISPR/Cas9 mediated gene deletion technology in A. niger in an metabolic engineering application. As a result, a strain for the efficient production of galactaric acid from D-galacturonic acid was generated.

Microb Cell Fact (2017) 16:119 DOI 10.1186/s12934-017-0736-3 Microbial Cell Factories RESEARCH Open Access Scaling up and scaling down the production of galactaric acid from pectin using Trichoderma reesei Toni Paasikallio, Anne Huuskonen and Marilyn G. Wiebe* Abstract Background: Bioconversion of D-galacturonic acid to galactaric (mucic) acid has previously been carried out in small scale (50–1000 mL) cultures, which produce tens of grams of galactaric acid. To obtain larger amounts of biologically produced galactaric acid, the process needed to be scaled up using a readily available technical substrate. Food grade pectin was selected as a readily available source of D-galacturonic acid for conversion to galactaric acid. Results: We demonstrated that the process using Trichoderma reesei QM6a Δgar1 udh can be scaled up from 1 L to 1 10 and 250 L, replacing pure D-galacturonic acid with commercially available pectin. T. reesei produced 18 g L− galac- 1 1 taric acid from food-grade pectin (yield 1.00 g [g D-galacturonate ­consumed]− ) when grown at 1 L scale, 21 g L− 1 1 galactaric acid (yield 1.11 g [g D-galacturonate ­consumed]− ) when grown at 10 L scale and 14 g L− galactaric acid 1 (yield 0.77 g [g D-galacturonate ­consumed]− ) when grown at 250 L scale. Initial production rates were similar to those observed in 500 mL cultures with pure D-galacturonate as substrate. Approximately 2.8 kg galactaric acid was precipitated from the 250 L culture, representing a recovery of 77% of the galactaric acid in the supernatant.

  • Experiment 20 Identification of Some Carbohydrates
    Experiment 20 Identification of Some Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the direct product of the photosynthetic combination of carbon dioxide and water. By weight, they are the most common organic compounds on earth. Since most have the empirical formula CnH2nOn = Cn(H2O)n it was initially believed that they were hydrates of carbon. Hence the name. In actuality they are polyhydroxylaldehydes and ketones and exist as cyclic hemi- and full acetals. The cyclic forms may be five-membered rings (furanose) or six-membered rings (pyranose). They are classified as mono-, di-, and polysaccharides. The term sugar applies to mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides, which are all soluble in water and thereby distinguished from polysaccharides, which are not soluble in water. The most commonly encountered carbohydrates are starch, glycogen, inulin, cellulose, sucrose, fructose, arabinose, mannose, glucose, maltose, galactose, and lactose. The method of analysis used in this experiment is one of elimination. The assumption is made that the compound is a single carbohydrate and tests are applied sequentially until a positive result is obtained. The carbohydrate giving the positive test is thus identified. The sugars that we will identify are shown below.

  • Food Waste Conversion to Galactaric Acid
    Food waste conversion to Galactaric acid KT Consortium Maria do Carmo Cabral Sacadura, John Woodley, Rafiqul Gani Annual Meeting KT Consortium, Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark June 2017 Introduction Galactaric acid (GA), also known as mucic acid, is a symmetrical six carbon diacid. GA is used as a chelator and in skin care products and has the potential application in polymer synthesis as a platform chemical. Its market is limited to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry. Currently, GA is commercially produced by oxidation of galactose with nitric acid or from D-galacturonic acid (D-galUA) by electrolytic oxidation. An alternative source of D-galUA is pectin, an abundant component in non- woody plant biomass such as in fruit peels. Citrus Processing Waste (CPW) is mainly generated from the industry of juice production which generates 10 million tonnes of wet CPW. Thus, it represents an available and inexpensive source for production of GA. The present project suggests an alternative route for production of GA through extraction of pectin from dry citrus peel, and its hydrolysis releasing D-galUA which is later oxidized to GA. An innovative, sustainable and environment-friendly solution is sought and analyzed through an economical and environmental assessment based on calculations done with simple derived models. The aim is to produce 2000 tonnes per year of GA. Figure 1. Chemical structure of Galactaric acid. For the extraction of pectin from dry citrus peel (TK1), citric acid and water are used as solvents (TK2) and the operation runs for 60 min at the solution’s boiling point (around 100 Process flowsheet ºC) and pH 2.3.

    Saccharic Acid Preparation by the Nitric Acid Oxidation of Glucose* Albert A. Dietz and J. W. Mench with Ed. F. Degering, Purdue University, and H. H. Schopmeyer, American Maize-Products Co. Saccharic acid has long been known as a product of the oxidation of glucose, but its preparation has never become industrially important. At present it is priced far too high. It is believed that it could be manufactured and sold in competition with tartaric acid. Derivatives of these two acids have common properties. Tartaric acid is manufactured almost solely from wine lees (1), but because of recent shortages, interest has been aroused in its synthesis from other sources (2). Several patents exist for its direct manufacture by the nitric acid oxidation of starch, or indirectly from 5-ketogluconic acid (6). In a search for other derivatives that could be prepared by the oxidation of glucose, interest centered on saccharic acid. It is commonly prepared by the method of Fischer as modified by Kiliani (3), but the method has been insufficiently studied for application to large scale production. In this work a study was made of the methods of improving the yields and simplifying the procedure. One of the best known of the nitric acid oxidations of carbohydrates is that of galactosides to yield mucic acid. A study has been reported also of the oxidation of xylose (5), as a possible outlet for the utilization of waste pentosans. The most extensive study of the oxidation of glucose has been that of Kiliani (4). Although the methods used in the preparation of saccharic acid are much the same as those used for the manufacture of mucic acid, they are complicated by the fact that the former is soluble in the oxidation mixture.

Then, the production of three different kinds of furan-based polyesters— polyethylene-2,5-furan dicarboxylate (PEF), polyhydropropyl-2,5-furan dicarboxylate(PHPF) and polydiglycerol-2,5-furandicarboxylate (PDGF)—was realized through a Co(Ac)2·4H2O catalyzed polytransesterification performed at 160 ◦C between DEFDC and a defined diol furan-based prepolymer or pure diglycerol. In parallel to polymerization process, an unattended regioselective 1-OH acylation of glycerol by direct microwave-heated FDCA diester transesterification led to the formation of a symmetric prepolymer ready for further polymerization and clearly identified by 2D NMR sequences.
