The application belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a chiral dihydroquinolone compound. The application utilizes N-heterocyclic
carbene (NHC) as a catalyst, and generates the chiral dihydroquinolone through a
nitrogen hetero-
diene Diels-
Alder reaction of a chloroaldehyde and an azo-ortho-
benzoquinone precursor under the action of NHC and an alkaline
reagent. The preparation method of the application does not need to use a
transition metal as a catalyst, can perform a reaction under relatively mild conditions, and has the advantages of green
environmental protection, low cost, wide substrate selectivity, mild
reaction conditions and the like. In addition, by optimizing the
reaction conditions of the preparation method, the product has high yield, high purity, unique cis selectivity and excellent enantioselectivity. The application provides a new
route and new idea for the chiral dihydroquinolone compound, can play an important role in the fields of
drug intermediates and the like, and has good application value and potential.
