Beschreibung

3-Ethyl-4-methylpyrrole-2,5-dione is a chlorophyll analog. It has been found to be an electron donor in photosystem II of the chlorobium reaction center. The compound was prepared by evaporation of a solution of chlorobenzene and ethyl acetoacetate in carbon tetrachloride with the aid of a vacuum pump. 3-Ethyl-4-methylpyrrole-2,5-dione has also been used as a reagent for the preparation of phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis, which is an important component of blue algae. The compound reacts with phenoxy and furyl groups under acidic conditions to produce carboxylate and calcium carbonate, respectively. Oxidation products are formed in reactions with ethyl group and other organic compounds under alkaline conditions.
