Nucleophilic substitution:
Generally, the five-membered heterocycles (as -excessive hetero-aromatics) do not
undergo nucleophilic substitution.
General methods of preparation:
Paal-Knorr synthesis:
By heating 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds with various reagents. The choice
depends on the desired product.
1- Pyrrole
Pyrrole is a very important five-membered heterocyclic as it exists in many
natural products as alkaloids, chlorophyll, haematin, vitamin B 12, nucleic
acids...etc.
Synthesis:
1) By distillation of succinimide with zinc dust:
2) By heating furan with ammonia over Al2O3 as catalyst:
