Introduction

Pyrrolones are the five-membered heterocyclic lactams which are either Δ3 (1) or Δ4 (2) derivatives described by several authors1,2.

These are also known as pyrrolin-2-ones. The γ-lactone ring present in butenolide (3) derivatives possess significant reactivity and has been utilized in the synthesis of pyyrolone derivatives with potent biological acitivity3,4. Pyrrolone and N-benzyl pyrrolone derivatives were reported to have good antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities5. Pyrrolones have been proved important as chiral synthons used in the preparation of a variety of bioactive compounds6. The frequent use of these compounds as chiral intermediates provides a fast universal method for the determination of absolute configuration.7 The chemistry of these versatile building blocks has been explored by a number of groups. Because of their multifunctional nature, these heterocycles can take part in several stereo selective transformations like conjugate additions 8,9, cycloadditions10,11, acyliminium ion chemistry12 and allylic substitution13.

Synthesis of 1-substituted-5-aryl-4-aroyl-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones:

From ester of pyruvic acid derivatives

The reaction between equimolar amounts of esters of  pyruvic acid with a mixture of aromatic aldehydes and amines gives 1-substituted-5-aryl-4-aroyl-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones (9) 7, 19,-21.

The interaction of benzoylpyruvic acid with mixture of aromatic aldehydes and amines involves several competing reactions. For this reason, the products include both substituted 4-benzoyl-3-hydroxy-2,5-dihydro-2-pyrrolones, benzoylpyruvic acid amides.23 1-(4-Antipyryl)-5-aryl-4-aroyl-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones (16) have been synthesized by reacting esters of 4-aryl-2,4-dioxobutanoic acids with Schiff bases (15), which are obtained by the condensation of aromatic aldehydes with 4-amino antipyrine22. To a solution of 0.001 mole of a methyl ester of 4-aryl-2,4-dioxobutanoic acid in ethanol, a mixture of ethanolic solutions of benzaldehyde (0.001 mole) and 4-amino antipyrine (0.001 mole) was added at room temperature. The excess of solvent is distilled off and the product is crystallized from ethyl acetate22.

Synthesis of Δ3 and Δ4-pyrrolinones by oxidation of pyrrole:

Using sulfoxide electrophillic sulfenylation:

Δ3 Pyrrolinones with very small amounts of Δ4 isomer can be obtained by the oxidation of pyrrole25 during sulfoxide electrophilic sulfenylation (SES). Sulfoxide electrophilic sulfenylation (SES) is a useful technique for the synthesis of heterocycles. Pyrrole-containing sulfoxides have been exploited for intramolecular sulfenylation to form a wide variety of N,S-heterocycles.

Typical (SES) reaction conditions via two possible reaction pathways accounts for pyrrolinones formation during SES cyclization.27-29 Upon treatment with trifluro acetic acid (TFAA) (DMF, room temperature) compound (21) produced the expected SES product only as minor product(23) and the major product was the pyrrolinones (22). Similarly compound (24) produced a mixture of pyrrolinones (25) and (26) SES cyclization product30-32.

The selective hydrogenation of the triple bond was achieved in 1 hr at ambient temperature and 1 atm pressure using the lindlar catalyst. The corresponding allylhydroxylamine was obtained in quantitative yields36. Further deoxygenation of hydroxylamine was accomplished with Zn-Cu catalyst in acetic acid as a solvent. Under these conditions, resulting allylamine could not be isolated since it cyclized spontaneously to the pyrrolin-2-one (34) which was obtained in 84% yield after purification by column chromatography37. This is a straight forward method of preparing enantiomerically pure δ3-pyrrolin-2-ones which can serve as templates for the construction of a number of highly functionalized 2-pyrrolidones and pyrrolidines. The latter has attracted much attention due to their ability to act as selective glycosidase inhibitors with a variety of therapeutic effects.38-40

From N-boc protected amino acids:

N-boc protected 5-methyl-δ3-pyrrolinone (37) has been synthesized from N-boc protected amino acids (35) by Jouin41 and further improved by Ma42. (5S)-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-pyrroli-2-one (36) was synthesized from N-boc protected L-alanine and meldrum’s acid which was then reduced with NaBH442 and hydroxyl group of resulting compound was eliminated to get N-boc protected 5-methyl-pyrrolinone43,44.

Synthesis of isomeric pyrrolones by flash vacuum pyrrolysis of bis aminomethylene derivatives of meldrum’s acid:

Under flash vacuum pyrrolysis46,47 (FVP) conditions (600°C, 0.005 Torr) bis-amino methylene derivatives of meldrum’s acid (40) were transformed into mixtures of the pyrrolones (41). FVP  provides a simple and direct synthetic route to 1-substituted-3-hydroxypyrroles and their tautomers i.e. 1H-pyrrol-3-(2H)-ones. Its mechanism was investigated by Brown and Eastwood57 and more recently by Wentrum et al.48.

Spectral Properties:

Circular dichroism (CD) spectra:

In case of the simple 3-pyrrolin-2-ones bearing no substituents on the olefinic bond, the maximum of the π-π* cotton effect is observed at λmax 200 nm. The maximum of the π-π * cotton effect is seen at longer wavelength, around 230 nm, where the UV spectrum displays a broad shoulder. The 3-pyrrolin-2-ones with an oxygen substituent at C (5) generally display much stronger cotton effects than those containing alkyl group. A methoxy substituent at C(3) shifts the positions of the π-π * band to λmax 230 nm, as does tosyl substitution at N1. 3-Pyrrolin-2-ones with an imide-type group (R2 = acyl) display an additional cotton effect at 280 nm, presumably due to a second π-π * transition. Such double π-π * cotton effects are observed at 250 nm in a saturated imides43 and result from the transitions involving combinations of the carbonyl n  orbitals of opposite symmetry. This cotton effect however is much smaller than the n-π* cotton effects caused primarily by the α,β-unsaturated lactam chromophore49-52.

1H NMR: In structure A, the chemical shift (δ) value at 6.44-6.95 ppm confirmed the presence of proton at C-4 of pyrrolone ring.  Also, the chemical shift ranging between 7.39- 7.68 showed the presence of olefinic proton at C-3 position. Both these peaks appeared as singlet which further evidenced that these are not aromatic protons. The proton attached to N of pyrrolone ring generally appeared at δ = 7.92-8.10.  The formation of benzyl pyrrolones (structure B) could be confirmed by disappearance of -NH proton and appearance of a sharp singlet at δ = 4.74-4.88. (methylene proton). IR: The IR spectra of structure A showed the absorption bands at 1680-1710 cm-1 due to the stretching vibrations of the lactam carbonyl groups21. MS: Generally, the mass spectra 3(H)-pyyrolin-2-ones showed peaks at M+ and M+– Ar with high intensities26.

Biological Action:

Various types of pharmacological activities shown by pyrrolinones are as follows:

Antimicrobial activity:

A series of 5-aryl-4-acyl-1-(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2ones were found to show weak  bacteriostatic activity55. Also various compounds of type 1-substituted-5-aryl-4-aroyl-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones and derivatives were found to be bacteriostatic against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli39.  3-Arylidene-4-(biphenyl)- 2(3H)-pyrrolones 5, 3-Arylidene-5-(substituted)- 2(3H)-pyrrolones 56, 3-Arylidene-5-(4-phenoxy phenyl)-2(3H)-pyrrolones57 and 3-Arylidene-5-(4-Methyl)- 2(3H)-pyrrolones58were found to have good antimicrobial activity.

The drugs were characterized by the ability to eliminate amnesia, increase the latent period and change the number of animals in the test group visiting a dark compartment of the experimental box. The time of stay in the light and  dark compartments was determined three minutes after drug injection19. All synthesized compounds favored recovery of the memory trace in the test rats, as evidence by a drop in the number of animals visiting the dark compartment and the time of stay there64.

Anti-inflammatory activity:

2-Arylidene-4-biphenyl-but-3-en-4-olides and their corresponding pyrrolones and N-benzyl-pyrrolones4 (Table 1), 2-Arylidene-4-(4-phenoxy-phenyl) but-3-en-4-olides and their corresponding pyrrolones and N-benzyl-pyrrolones57 (Table 2) were found to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity. A series of 3-Arylidene-5-(substituted aryl)-1-benzyl-2(3H)-pyrrolones  were also  found to have promising anti-inflammatory activity56 (Table 3). But the anti-inflammatory activity decreased by the substitution of oxygen atom of butenolide ring with NH (pyrrolones), while substitution of oxygen atom with benzylamine moiety (N-benzyl-pyrrolones) markedly increased the activity. A series of 3-arylidene-5-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2(3H)-benzyl pyrrolones  were  found to show promising anti-inflammatory activity65. (Table4).

Conclusion

It may be concluded that pyrrolones and N benzyl pyrrolones exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities like anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, analalegic and anti-HIV activities. Thus the pyrrolone scaffold still remains as therapeutic target for the development of new leads in the modern medicinal chemistry. The physical, chemical and the pharmacokinetic properties of pyrrolones still maintains the importance of this moiety inspite of the rising levels of drug resistance in today’s era.
