General description

The reaction between 2-methylresorcinol and 2-alkenals was studied to investigate the scavenging ability of m-diphenols for the 2-alkenals formed during lipid oxidation.

Application

2-Methylresorcinol was used in the synthesis of:
  • C-5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenylcalix[4]-2-methylresorcinarene
  • tripyrrane analogs
  • series of novel aromatic benziporphyrins

Acid catalyzed condensation of resorcinol or 2-methylresorcinol with 2 equiv. of an acetoxymethylpyrrole gave bis(pyrrolylmethyl)benzene derivatives in moderate yields; these afforded a series of novel aromatic benziporphyrins using the MacDonald "3 + 1" methodology.

C-5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenylcalix[4]-2-methylresorcinarene (I) was synthesized by cyclocondensation of 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-methylresorcinol in the presence of concentrated HCl. Compound I was characterized by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic data. X-ray analysis showed that this compound crystallized in a triclinic system with

Tripyrrane analogues were prepared by reacting resorcinol or 2-methylresorcinol with 2 equiv of an acetoxymethylpyrrole in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid and calcium chloride. Following removal of the benzyl ester protective groups, the resorcinol-derived benzitripyrrane was reacted with a pyrrole
