[0057]

[0058] Preparation of aromatic ring-substituted β-naphthylamines 1i-aaa (R 5 =6-Me), 1k-aaa(R 5 =6-Ph), 1l-aaa(R 5 =7-MeO), other β-naphthylamines are commercially available.

[0059] first step:

[0060] According to reference 3, in an ice-water bath, the NaNO 2 (513 mg, 5.76 mmol) of H 2 O (1 mL) solution was slowly added to a suspension of the corresponding amine (4.5 mmol) in hydrochloric acid (5 mL), the resulting solution was stirred in an ice-water bath for 1 h, and SnCl was added slowly 2 ·2H 2 O (3.556 g, 15.76 mol), the resulting suspension was stirred in an ice-water bath for 3.5 hours and then filtered. Sequentially at 0 °C with H 2 O (4×8mL), H at room temperature 2 O(1×8mL), Et 2 The solid was washed with O / n-hexane (1:1, 2 x 4 mL) and dried to give the desired product.

[0108] The corresponding phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (0.72 g, 5 mmol) and pinacolone (5 mL, 40 mmol), ZnCl 2 (2.72 g, 20 mmol) were mixed and heated with an oil bath at 190°C, the reaction mixture was kept at this temperature for 20 minutes, and after completion of the reaction monitored by TLC, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate (2 × 50 mL), the combined organic phases were washed with water and washed with Na 2 SO 4 After drying and evaporation of the solvent, the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography using PE / EA as elution solvent to give the product.

Embodiment 3

[0119] In order to verify the feasibility of the reaction, as shown in the following formula, the azobenzene derivatives 1a and 2-tert-butyl-indole 2a were used as reactants, and 10 mol% phosphoric acid CP1 was used as a catalyst to react in DCM at room temperature. The reaction proceeded smoothly, and the axially chiral aryl indole 3a was obtained in 76% yield and 87% ee. It can be seen that through the nucleophilic attack of azobenzene derivatives by indole, it is feasible to asymmetrically construct axial chiral aryl indole through organocatalysis. Next, the catalysts with different axial chiral skeletons and substituents were screened. The aromatic ring skeleton and 3,3'-substituents of the catalysts have important effects on the enantioselectivity. Among them, catalyst CP4 had the best results in terms of enantioselectivity (92% ee) and yield (99%).

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthetizing axial chirality aryl indole through organocatalysis. The method is characterized in that chiral phosphoric acid is used as a catalyst; a compound 1 and a compound 2 react: the chemical formula is shown as the description, wherein R<1> is hydrogen; R<2> is selected from tertiary butyl, 1-methyl cyclopropyl, 1-methyl cyclobutyl, tertiary pentyl, aryl and heteroaryl; R<3> represents any substituent group; n represents an integer being 1 to 4, and when n is greater than 2, existent two or greater R<3> are identical or different; R<4> selects CO2R, and R is alkyl or benzyl; R<5> represents any substituent group; m represents an integer being 1 to 4, and when m is greater than 2, existent two or greater R<5> are identical or different. The synthesis method is applicable to azobenzene derivatives of various kinds of ester; the axial chirality aryl indole is obtained at good yield and excellent enantioselectivity; the reaction conditions are mild. The method opens up a novel path for organocatalysis of asymmetrical aromatic functionalization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, in particular to a method for organic catalytic synthesis of axial chiral aryl indole. Background technique [0002] Arylation is a fundamental reaction in organic chemistry, mainly achieved by electrophilic substitution of aryl groups or transition metal-catalyzed functionalization of aryl groups. In aryl electrophilic substitution, the aromatic ring acts as a nucleophile, and many important transformations such as aromatic nitration, halogenation, sulfonation, acylation, and alkylation can be carried out by aryl electrophilic substitution. In contrast, nucleophilic substitution of aryl groups involving C-H cleavage of aryl groups has been poorly studied. In the past decade, aromatic rings have been used as electrophiles in many useful transformations (such as transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation of aryl groups) with different nucleophiles, but organocatalytic arylation involving nucleophi...
