A new method for the synthesis of 4, 5-dihydropyrrole derivatives from γ-nitro-nitriles is described. In this procedure, the nitro groups of nitro-nitriles were reduced into aminoes under Fe+HCl systerm in methanol at 30℃ firstly. And then the amino-groups reacted with cyano groups to form target compounds via intramolecular nucleophilic addition reaction and rearrangement reaction. Under the optimized conditions, all γ-nitro-nitriles can be easily converted into 4, 5-dihydropyrrole derivatives in satisfactory yield. It shows that the reaction has better universality. Based on the experimental results, the possible reaction mechanism was proposed.
- 4, 5-dihydropyrrole derivative,
- γ-nitro-nitrile,
- malonitrile,
- ethyl cyanoacetate
