2,4-Dimethyl-3-cyano-5-carbethoxypyrrole, MeC:C(CN).CMe:CR.NH (I, R = CO2Et) is saponified to the 5-CO2H acid (II) (I, R =CO2H) without the CN group being hydrolyzed, and distillation in vacuo gives 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyanopyrrole (III). The CN group is materially stabilized by its position on the nucleus, whereas when it is on a side chain, as in 2,4-dimethyl-3-Ω-cyano-Ω-carbetboxy-vinyl-5-carbethoxypyrrole, it can be hydrolyzed with extraordinary ease, the β-position being attacked first and then the α-position. III can be obtained still more easily by the Knorr pyrrole synthesis from AcCH2CO2Et and AcCH2CONH2, and AcCH2NH2.HCl instead of AcCH2CO2Et-NaNO2 gives an even better yield. With HCHO and a little HCl III readily yields 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4,4′-dicyanopyrrometliane (IV) which, surprisingly enough, cannot be converted with either FeCl3 or Br into the corresponding methene (V) although the V.HBr is obtained in good yield, with elimination of CO2, from II with HCO2H and 48% HBr on the H2O bath. NH4OH readily gives the free V in red needles which form metal complexes. III and HCN readily give an aldehyde (VI) (1, R = CHO), whose oxime yields with AC2O 2,4-dimethyl-3,5-dicyanopyrrole (VII). With boiling HCl VI yields V.HCl. The CHO group in VI is reduced to Me by the Wolff-Kishner method, giving 2,4,5-trimethyl-3-eyanopyrrole, together with some 2,4,5-trimethylpyrrole. From VI and 2,3,4-trimethylpyrrole, cryptopyrrole and crypto-pyrrolecarboxylic acid were obtained 3,3′,4,5,5′-pentamethyl- (VII), 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4-ethyl- (VIII) and 3,3′,5,5′-ietramethyl-4-propionic acid-4′-cyanopyrromethene-HBr (IX), resp.; VIII was also obtained from cryptopyrrolealdehyde with III. These cyanomethenes were synthesized with the object of preparing porphyrins with CN groups on the nucleus but numerous attempts to do this failed. Porphyrin formation took place but only etioporphyrin II could be isolated. This negative result is perhaps due to the unreactiveness of the α-Me groups. Bromination of the 3 methenes could not be effected either and I (R = CO2Et) is likewise unreactive toward Br, although with Br and NaBrO3 3 Br atoms can be introduced into the α-Me group, with simultaneous oxidation of the α-Me group, the product being 2-tribromomethyl-3-cyano-4-hydroxymethyl-5-carbethoxypyrrole (X). III can also be brominated on the nucleus in the α-position. With SO2Cl2 I gave a yellow oil yielding with H2O 2-hydroxymethyl-3-cyano-4-methyl-5-carbethoxypyrrole (XI). With higher concentrations, 6 atoms Cl are introduced: the product is probably 2,4-bistrichloromethyl-3-cyano-5-carbethoxypyrrole (XII). II (about 40 g. from 60 g. I with boiling aqueous NaOH), m. 250°; 8 g. in vacuo at 150° gives 4 g. III, m. 107°. 2,4-Dimethyl-3-carboxamide-5-carbethoxypyrrole (1.8 g. from 12 g. AcCH2-CO2Et, NaNO2, AcCH2CONH2 and Zn dust), m. 173°; 0.5 g. gives with boiling NaOAc-Ac2O 0.3 g. I, which is obtained in 1 g. yield from 1.5 g. ACCH2NH2.HCl and AcCH-CONH2 in NaOH. V.HBr (13-5 g. from 20 g. II), golden yellow, in. 242° (decomposition). V.HCl (1 g. from 2 g. II), m. 225° (decomposition). Free V, ruby-red, m. 280°(decomposition); Cu complex, C30H26N8C11 crystals with metallic green surface luster, soluble in most solvents with red color; Co complex, green; On complex, 2C30H26N8Zn.Zn(OAc)2, pink, contains 2 active H atoms (Chugaev-Zerevitinov). XI, reddens and sinters 145-°, m. around 195-6°. XII (2.8 g. from 5 g. I, 20 g. SO2Cl2 and 20 cc. Et2O), m. around 98°. X (about 20%), m. 183°, easily soluble in dilute alkalies, the yellow solution becoming dark brown and finally black (in 20% NaOH it at once darkens and decomposes), regenerates I on long boiling with Zn dust in AcOH. 2,4-Dimethyl-3-cyano-5-formylpyrrole (VI) (9-10 g. from 15 g. III in CHCl3-Et2O with anhydrous HCN), m. 223° oxime, m. 206°; semicarbazone, turns yellow 250° and gradually darkens and sinters; phenylhydrazone, m. 175°. VII, m. 209°. 2,4-Dimethyl-3-cya-no-5-bromopyrrole (0-5 g. from 0.4 g. III with Br-AcOH), darkens 130° and sinters without melting. VII (1.3g. from 0.75g. VI), yellow, decomposes 230°. VIII (80%), orange-red, darkens 190°, m. 241° IX, golden yellow, m. 240° (decomposition).
