2,2'-Dipyrromethene, often called just dipyrromethene or dipyrrin, is a chemical compound with formula C 9H 8N 2 whose skeleton can be described as two pyrrole rings C 5N connected by a methyne bridge =CH– through their nitrogen-adjacent (position-2) carbons; the remaining bonds being satisfied by hydrogen atoms. It is an unstable compound that is readily attacked by nucleophilic compounds above −40 °C.[1]
2,2'-Dipyrromethene and its more stable and easily prepared derivatives—formally obtained by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms by other functional groups—are important precursors for the family of BODIPY fluorescent dies.[1] The derivatives include salts of the dipyrrinatoanionC 9H 7N– 2 and of the cationC 9H 9N+ 2.
Preparation
2,2'-Dipyrromethene and its derivatives can be obtained from suitable pyrrole derivatives by several methods.[2]
More generally, one starts with a pyrrole with suitable substituents at positions 3, 4, or 5 (but not 2). Condensation of two such molecules at their 2 positions with a bridging compound gives the corresponding 2,2'-dipyrromethane. The condensation may use, for example, the Knorr pyrrole synthesis, with an aromatic aldehyde in the presence of TFA. The dipyrromethane core is then oxidized to dipyrromethene using a quinone oxidant such as DDQ or p-chloranil.
Alternatively, one may use an activated carboxylic acid derivative, usually an acylchloride. As another possibility, one may condense a substituted pyrroles with a 2-acylpyrrole; this route allows the synthesis of unsymmetrical dipyrromethenes.
Reactions
Dipyrrin is unstable above −40 °C. However, its acts as a base, and its chloride [C 9H 9N+ 2] [Cl− ] is sufficiently stable in solution.[4]
Dipyrrin and its derivatives for coordination complexes with transition metals. For example, the derivative anion 5-phenyl dipirrinato (pdp) forms the neutral iron(III) complex Fe(pdp) 3 (dark green monoclinic crystals, soluble in benzene, orange solution in dichloromethane), where the Fe3+ ion is coordinated to six nitrogen atoms of the dipyrrin cores in distorted octahedral geometry.[5] A similar cobalt(III) complex has also been reported, as well as a complex with copper(II) Cu(pdp) 2[6]
