Abstract

The invention provides a method for synthesizing an indole compound by iodine-induced electrocatalytic intramolecular C(sp2)-H oxidative cyclization. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing iodized salt electrolyte, a 2-vinyl aniline compound and thiocyanate, and performing an intramolecular oxidative cyclization reaction under electrochemical conditions to obtain the indole compound. The invention provides a method for non-metallic catalytic electrochemical synthesis of indole compounds, so that a plurality of important drug intermediates can be derived. According to the method, no metal or chemical oxidizing agent is used, no iodobenzene or other by-products are generated, the reaction is green and environmentally friendly, the atom economy is high, and the gram-scale experiment yield is kept.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis methodology, in particular to a method for electrochemically synthesizing indole compounds. Background technique [0002] Indole compounds widely exist in biologically active molecules and natural products, including alkaloids, polypeptides and various pharmaceutical intermediates. On the other hand, such derivatives are also commonly used raw materials in the preparation of functional materials, such as nonlinear optical materials, piezoelectric materials and photosensitive materials. Starting from Emil Fischer's pioneering synthesis, the synthesis of indole has received extensive attention for more than 130 years. [0003] In recent years, the research focus on the synthesis of indole compounds mainly focuses on transition metal catalysis. For example, the classic reaction: the oxidative cyclization of 2-vinylaniline to indole, which is an important symbol in the field of palladium c...
