Introduction: Heterocyclic Compounds 3
4 A cyclic organic compound containing all carbon atoms in ring formation is referred to as a carbocyclic compound. Heterocyclic compounds are organic compounds that contain a ring structure containing atoms in addition to carbon, such as sulfur, oxygen or nitrogen, as the heteroatom. The ring may be aromatic or non-aromatica. Number of drugs in pharmaceutical science are heterocyclic compounds. Heterocyclic compounds may be of natural origin or synthetically available.

Pyrrole is the 5- membered ring containing N-atom replacement with C- atom. the pyrrole ring system soon become of great interest, as it was found in many compounds widely distributed in nature. Pyrrole rings are present in a number of natural products for eg. alkoloids and synthetic pharmaceuticals. Pyrroles having a following therapeutical activity 11
Nomenclature 12
In naming pyrrole and its derivatives, the nitrogen atom is assigned position-1. 1 13 2 3 4 5 α ‘ β’ β α The position of the substituent may be specified in Arabic numerals or in Greek letters.
Five - membered heterocycles containing nitrogen general end with ‘ ole’ Three dihydropyrroles or pyrrolines are theoretically possible and tetrahydropyrrole is called pyrrolidine. The pyrrole ring, when considered as asubstituent in another structure is called pyrryl. Pyrroline Pyrrolid i ne Pyrryl 14
Physical properties 15
It is a colourless volatile liquid. It’s boiling point is 131 ° C and melting point is -23 ° C. It turns brown in the air and gradually resinifies. Only slightly soluble in water but it is totally miscible with ether and ethanol. Pyrrole is weakly basic in nature. Pyrrole has a relatively high boiling point as compared to furan and thiophene, this is due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in pyrrole. 16
17 Aromaticity of pyrrole Pyrrole itself is completely planar and have molecular dimensions. The 5 Sp 2 hybridised C-atom sustained 6π electron system. From the molecular orbital standpoint is consisting of planar pentagoan with Sp 2 hybridised C-atoms. Each of the 4 C-atoms has one electron remaning in a p z orbital. The N-atom has 2 electron in p orbital. Th e se p o r bi t a ls ov e rla p to gi v e a tot a l o f s i x electro n s in π system and this shell provide stability. Pyrrole is an extremely weak base because its pair of non-bonding electrons are part of the π-cloud (K b = 2.5 x 10 -14 ). Therefore, if pyrrole is protonated, it loses its aromaticity.
They tend to react by electrophilic substitution due appearance of –ve charge on carbon atoms. D ue to d e loc a li z a t ion of e lectron a s s h own in th e fo llowing resonance structures . 18

Pyrrole is aromatic and more reactive than benzene. It gives electrophilic substitution reactions such as halogenation , nitration ,etc. I t a lso un d e rgoe s dia z otiz at io n and Reimer - T i e ma n n r ea ct ions, while benzene does not. Acidity pKa = 17,5 Pyrrole is a weak acid Pyrrolyl anion is a strong base 20
Basicity Pyrrole is a weak base: Protonation breaks aromaticity (lone pair participates in conjugation)and thus it is not readily available 21

In Pyrrole Electrophilic Substitution takes place at 2 or 5 positions. If these positions are filled substitution takes place at 3 or 4 positions. This can be explained as follows : SRINIVAS R. BHAIRY ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 36
Substitution occurs preferentially at C–2 because the intermediate carbocation obtained by putting a substituent at this position is more stable than the intermediate carbocation obtained by placing a substituent at C-3. The intermediate resulting from C-2 substitution has 3 resonance contributors; they both have a positive charge on a relatively stable secondary allylic carbon. The intermediate resulting from c-3 Substitution has only 2-resonance contributors and has positive charge on a primary carbon, which is unstable. Thus substitution at C-2 predominates.

Derivatives of pyrrole 41
The functional derivatives of pyrrole is Hydroxypyrroles : Pyrroles with hydroxyl groups on carbon side chains can be made by reduction of the appropriate carbonyl compound with hydrides, by Grignard synthesis, or by insertion of ethylene oxide or formaldehyde. For example, pyrrole plus formaldehyde gives 2-hydroxymethylpyrrole. The hydroxymethylpyrroles do not act as normal primary alcohols because of resonance stabilization of carbonium ions formed by loss of water. 2 - hydro x ymet h yl p yrrole 42
2. Aldehydes and Ketones: Pyrrole aldehydes and ketones are somewhat less reactive than the corresponding benzenoid derivatives. They react with pyrroles under acidic conditions to form dipyrrylmethenes. dipyrrylmethenes 43
44 Pyrrole Carboxylic Acids and Esters: The acids are considerably less stable than benzoic acid and often decarboxylate readily on heating. However, electron-withdrawing substituents tend to stabilize them toward decarboxylation. The pyrrole esters are important synthetically because they stabilize the ring and may also act as protecting groups. Thus, the esters can be utilized synthetically and then hydrolyzed to the acid, which can be decarboxylated by heating. Often β-esters are hydrolyzed more easily than the α-esters.
4. Vinyl Pyrroles: Reaction between ketoximes and acetylene in an alkali metal hydroxide–dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) system havemade vinyl pyrroles. The 1-vinylpyrroles are highly reactive and are sensitive to oxygen. Conjugation of the vinyl group with the aromatic ring leads to a greater susceptibility to electrophilic attack.

Condensed Pyrroles: Pyrroles can be condensed to compounds containing two, three, or four pyrrole nuclei. These are important in synthetic routes. Bipyrroles: 46

52 3. Paal-Knorr Pyrrole Synthesis Generally Substituted pyrrole may be synthesized through the cyclization of 1,4-diketones in combination with ammonia (NH3) or amines. The ring-closure is proceeded by dehydration (condensation), which then yields the two double bonds and thus the aromatic π system. The formation of the energetically favored aromatic system is one of the driving forces of the reaction.

60 Pyrrole is essential to the production of many different chemicals. N-methylpyrrole is a precursor to N-methylpyrrolecarboxylic acid, a building-block in pharmaceutical chemistry. Although there is a claim that pyrrole is used as an additive to cigarettes, it is typically listed as a constituent of tobacco smoke and not as an ingredient. Pyrrole is also use in commercial and pharmaceuticals.
Pyrrole subunit has diverse applications in therapeutically active compounds including fungicides, antibiotics, anti- inammatory drugs,cholesterol reducing drugs, antitumor agents and many more. for example Pyrocyclidine act as anti-muscarinic agent use in the treatment of parkinsonism. Pyrocyclidine 61
