The Chemistry of Heterocycles Mohammad Jafarzadeh Faculty of Chemistry, Razi University The Chemistry of Heterocycles, (Second Edition). By Theophil Eicher and Siegfried Hauptmann, Wiley-VCH Veriag GmbH, 2003 1 110 5 Five-Membered Heterocycles The indole ring system forms the basis of several pharmaceuticals, for instance the anti-inflammatory indomethacin 54 and the antidepressant iprindole 55: MeO, I CH2— C H 2— C H 2— N M e 2 55 Indigo and other dyes (see p 81) which contain the chromophore 56 O x - ,X = N H o r S , ( E ) - o r ( Z ) - , 56 are known as indigoid dyes, and are vat dyes. These water-insoluble compounds are reduced by sodium dithionite and sodium hydroxide and applied as vat dyes, whereby they become soluble as disodium dihydro compounds, e.g.: ^2H,2NaOH -2H20 Before the availability of sodium dithionite (1871), the reduction of indigo was brought about by bacte- ria with reducing properties (fermentation vat). The vat of indigo has a brown-yellow colour. The cloth is dipped in the vat and then exposed to air to allow reoxidation to indigo which is precipitated and finely distributed onto the fibre. A consequence of this process is the low rubbing fastness of the dyes. It causes the faded appearance of indigo-dyed jeans and makes possible the manufacture of 'faded jeans'. Since the seventies, indole compound5.14s Isoindolehave lost their importance as textile dyes. They have, how- ever, found application in other fields, e.g. in polaroid photography.

This is a special case of prototropy (prototropic rearrangement) [57]. For isoindole, the position of the equilibrium depends to a large extent on the type of the substituent in the 1- and/or 3- position [58]. The 1-phenyl compound exists in the 2//-form and couples with benzenediazonium chlo- ride in the 3-position. 5.15 Carbazole The numbering of carbazole (benzo[6]indole) predates the introduction of systematic no- A,B menclature and is retained for historical reasons. Carbazoles behave like 0,0 -disubstituted diphenylamines. However, the basicity of carbazole, pKa = -4.94, is much lower than that of diphenylamine (pKa = 0.78), and also lower than that of indole and pyrrole. As a consequence, carbazole is insoluble in dilute acids but only soluble in coned H2SÜ4 with protonation of the N-atom. On pouring the solution into water, carbazole precipitates without poly- merization. 5.15 Carbazole 111 CO2 + CH3OH 5.15 Carbazole 111 2-(Methoxycarbonyloxy)-l,3-dihydroisoindole (obtained from 2-hydroxy-l,3-dihydroisoindole and methyl (4-nitrophenyl)carbonate) was pyrolysed in vacuo at 500°C and isoindole condensed on a cold- finger condenser filled with liquid nitrogen. Isoindole crystallizes in colourless needles, darkens at CO2 + CH3OH room temperature and polymerizes. Solutions in dichloromethane kept under nitrogen are more stable.
