Abstract
The 13C nmr chemical shifts of benzyl 4-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrrole-2-carboxylate (1), methyl E-3-(3-ethyl-4,5-dimethylpyrrol-2-yl)-2-cyanopropenoate (2), and methyl E-3-(5-(benzyloxy)carbonyl-3-ethyl-4-methylpyrrol-2-yl)-2-cyanopropenoate (3) have been compared to their X-ray crystallographic structures. The 13C nmr chemical shifts were determined by direct comparison of a series of closely related homologs.Crystal data for 1, 2, and 3 are as follows: 1, monoclinic, P21/c, a = 14.934(2), b = 6.674(2), c = 15.269(2) A, β = 101.96(1)°, Z = 4; 2, monoclinic, P21/n, a = 7.3030(3), b = 13.478(1), c = 12.985(1) A, β = 97.48(1)°, Z = 4; 3, monoclinic, P21/c, a = 11.157(2), b = 13.109(2), c = 14.068(1) A, β = 115.47(1)°, Z = 4. The structures were determined with diffractometer data by direct methods, and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques to R = 0.052, 0.040, 0.038 for 862, 2032, 1483 reflexions, respectively. The molecules are approximately planar, except for deviations of the phenyl rings and of th...
