An accurate comparison of the interaction of furan, pyrrole, and thiophene with different gaseous analytes is vital not only for understanding the sensing mechanism of corresponding polymers but also for rational design of new materials. In the present study, DFT calculations at (M05-2X/Aug-cc-PVDZ) have been performed to investigate the interaction behavior of furan, pyrrole, and thiophene (as models for their corresponding polymers) with different analytes (NH, CO, CO, NH, HCN, HO, HS, CH, CHOH, SO, SO, HO). The interaction of heterocycles with analytes is illustrated by changes in geometric, energetic, and electronic properties. SAPT calculations were performed for energy decomposition analysis to study the contribution of non-covalent components of the total interaction energy for each complex. Analysis of energetic and electronic properties reveals that all heterocycles are highly sensitive to SO. The results suggest that sensing ability of polypyrrole is higher than polyfuran and polythiophene for all analytes.

The development of versatile strategies for preparing functional carbon materials is essential for advancing a wide range of applications in materials science. Precursor design plays a pivotal role in governing the chemistry and structure of carbon materials for target applications. In this work, we report the synthesis of Meldrum's acid derivatives through Knoevenagel condensation with aromatic heterocycles such as pyrrole, furan, and thiophene, which serve as precursors for carbonaceous materials with tailored chemical and electronic properties.

Aims: This study aimed at the synthesis of several spiro[benzofuran-3,3'-pyrroles] derivatives by a three-component reaction conducted by mixing DMAD, N-bridgehead het-erocycles, and benzofuran-2,3-diones in dichloromethane at room temperature for 24 h. Moreover, in vitro evaluation of their cytotoxicity affinities against FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 was carried out.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to use a one-pot, three-component reaction to synthesize a novel set of spiro[benzofuran-3,3'-pyrroles] derivatives.

Here we present a highly versatile synthetic strategy based on twofold 6π-electrocyclization accompanied with HBr elimination as a novel approach towards centrosymmetric multi-heteroatom-doped nanographenes build around an electron-rich 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole core. A straightforward synthesis from readily available substrates offers a unique possibility of fusing the 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole subunit not only with carbocyclic building blocks, such as electron-deficient phenanthrenes, chrysenes, or [4]helicenes, but also with heterocyclic systems, such as benzo[b]furan and 5-thiatruxene. The clear advantage of this strategy is that there is no requirement to assemble complex scaffolds possessing bromoaryl units since bromine atom is introduced by bromination of 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole core which, because of its exceptionally electron-rich character, is straightforward reaction.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method has been developed to synthesize complex organic compounds called furo[2,3-b]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridines using a palladium (Pd(II)) catalyst.
  • The process involves combining certain chemical compounds, specifically β-ketodinitriles and buta-1,3-diynes, which triggers a series of chemical reactions leading to the formation of multiple heterocycles in a single step.
  • The effectiveness of this method is highlighted by additional experiments that showcase how the synthesized compounds can be further modified for potential applications.
