Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a process for the preparation of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrroles of formula (1) ##STR1## wherein each of R 1 and R 2 independently of the other is an alkyl or aralkyl group or an isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical, which process comprises reacting an ester of formula (2) or (3) ##STR2## with a nitrile of the formula R 2 CN, in which formulae each of R and R' independently of the other is an alkyl or aryl group, and R 1 and R 2 are as defined above, in the presence of a strong base in an organic solvent. The invention also relates to compounds of formula (8) ##STR3## wherein R 3 is an alkyl or aralkyl group or an ortho-substituted isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical and R 4 is an alkyl or aralkyl group or an isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical. The pyrrolopyrroles obtained are valuable pigments for coloring compounds of high molecular weight such as plastics and lacquers in yellow to red shades of excellent fastness properties.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 98 words
A process for the preparation of a pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole of formula (1) ##STR44## wherein each of R 1 and R 2 independently of the other is an alkyl or aralkyl group or an isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical, which process comprises reacting an ester of the formula (2) or (3) ##STR45## whith a nitrile of the formula R 2 CN, in which formulae each of R and R' independently of the other is an alkyl or aryl group, and R 1 and R 2 are as defined above, in the presence of a strong base in an organic solvent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 98 words
A process for the preparation of a pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole of formula (1) ##STR44## wherein each of R 1 and R 2 independently of the other is an alkyl or aralkyl group or an isocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic radical, which process comprises reacting an ester of the formula (2) or (3) ##STR45## whith a nitrile of the formula R 2 CN, in which formulae each of R and R' independently of the other is an alkyl or aryl group, and R 1 and R 2 are as defined above, in the presence of a strong base in an organic solvent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 116 words
A process according to claim 1, which process comprises starting from an ester and a nitrile of the above formulae, in which R 1 and R 2 are radicals of the formula ##STR46## wherein each of X, Y and Y' independently is a hydrogen or halogen atom, a carbamoyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano, C 2 -C 6 alkylcarbamoyl, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, C 1 -C 6 alkylmercapto, C 2 -C 6 alkoxycarbonyl, C 2 -C 6 alkanoylamino or C 2 -C 6 dialkylamino group, or is a phenoxy, phenylmercapto, phenoxycarbonyl, phenylcarbamoyl or benzoylamino group which is unsubstituted or substituted by halogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl or C 1 -C 6 alkoxy.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 35 words
A process according to claim 1, which comprises starting from an ester of formula (2) or (3), wherein each of R and R' independently of the other is a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 16 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the organic solvent is a sec-alcohol or a tert-alcohol.
