Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic chemical synthesis technology, specifically relating to a novel method for preparing and applying quinoline-2-boronate. Background Technology

[0002] Quinoline compounds are not only important bioactive molecules, but also important intermediates in organic synthesis and drug synthesis.

[0003] In recent years, due to the rapid development of the OLED industry, more and more research results have shown that the excellent performance of quinoline compounds in the field of organic electroluminescence cannot be ignored.

[0004] However, while there is a large body of literature on the other active sites of quinoline besides the 2-position, there are few reports on methods for constructing a series of fused-ring heterocycles using the 2-position of quinoline. This shows that the introduction of the active group at the 2-position of quinoline has always been a challenge in the laboratory.

[0005] The Suzuki reaction used in the existing literature for the synthesis of quinoline compounds all uses quinoline-2-boronic acid and conventional quinoline-2-boron ester.

[0006] From the limited existing literature, it can be seen that quinoline-2-boronic acid and conventional quinoline-2-boronic ester are the mainstream intermediates used. However, quinoline-2-boronic acid is difficult to prepare, with a reaction yield of less than 30% in the laboratory, resulting in excessively high costs and limited commercial application. Although there are literatures supporting the preparation methods of quinoline-2-boronic ester, the reproducibility of the methods in the laboratory is poor, with almost no product formation. Furthermore, quinoline-2-boronic ester is less reactive than boric acid, limiting its application range. For most Suzuki reactions that require high reactivity, it cannot be successfully coupled.

[0007] Therefore, researching and developing a novel method for preparing quinoline-2-boronate has great market potential, and this quinoline-2-boronate can be applied in the Suzuki coupling reaction. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a new method for preparing and applying quinoline-2-boronate.

[0009] To solve the technical problem, the technical solution of the present invention is: a novel method for preparing quinoline-2-boronate, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Using 2-bromoquinoline, triisopropyl borate, and n-butyllithium as raw materials, an isopropyl-quinoline-2-boron ester lithium salt solution is generated, wherein the equivalent ratio of 2-bromoquinoline, triisopropyl borate, and n-butyllithium is 1:1.1~2:1.1~2; Step 2: N-phenyldiethanolamine is added to the isopropyl-quinoline-2-boron ester lithium salt solution generated in Step 1, and the reaction is carried out to generate quinoline-2-boron N-phenyldiethanolamine ester, wherein the equivalent ratio of isopropyl-quinoline-2-boron ester lithium salt to N-phenyldiethanolamine is 1:1~2.

A hexane solution of n-butyllithium is then added dropwise to the system. After the addition is complete, the system is naturally heated to room temperature and stirred for 16 to 24 hours to ensure complete reaction. The ratio of 2-bromoquinoline to tetrahydrofuran is 1 g: 5 to 10 mL.

[0012] Preferably, step 2 specifically involves: dissolving N-phenyldiethanolamine in tetrahydrofuran, adding it to the system of step 1, then heating the reaction to reflux and stirring for 4-8 hours to generate a quinoline-2-boronic acid N-phenyldiethanolamine ester system, wherein the ratio of N-phenyldiethanolamine to tetrahydrofuran is 1 g: 1-3 mL.

[0013] Preferably, the post-treatment of the quinoline-2-boronic acid N-phenyldiethanolamine ester system is as follows: the solvents tetrahydrofuran and n-hexane in the distillation system are replaced with isopropanol. After the replacement is completed, the system is cooled to room temperature and stirred for 12-24 hours. The product will precipitate in solid form. It is directly filtered, washed with isopropanol, and then dried at normal pressure to obtain the desired product, quinoline-2-boronic acid N-phenyldiethanolamine ester.

[0015] Preferably, a novel method for applying quinoline-2-boronic acid ester involves adding N-phenyldiethanolamine quinoline-2-boronic acid ester and substrate A with halogenated or sulfonate active groups to a reactor vessel under inert gas protection. A base, palladium catalyst, cuprous iodide, and triphenylphosphine are then added, followed by solvent. Stirring is initiated, and the system is heated to 60–120°C and maintained at this temperature for 12–24 hours until the reaction is complete. The system is then cooled to room temperature, concentrated to remove the original solvent, and toluene and water are added to extract the product. The toluene phase is then silicated. After removing the catalyst using a gel column, product B was obtained by crystallization with ethanol. The equivalence ratio of quinoline-2-boronic acid N-phenyldiethanolamine ester to substrate A was 1–2:1. The equivalence ratio of quinoline-2-boronic acid N-phenyldiethanolamine ester, base, palladium catalyst, cuprous iodide, and triphenylphosphine was 1–2:1.5–2:0.01–0.05:0.2–0.4:0.04–0.2. The volume ratio of quinoline-2-boronic acid N-phenyldiethanolamine ester to solvent was 1 g:5–10 mL. The structural formula of substrate A is [insert structural formula here]. Where X is selected from -Cl, -Br, -I, -Otf, and R is selected from -H, -NO2, -CN, -CHO, -Ar, -Me, -OMe; the structural formula of product B is Where R is one of -H, -NO2, -CN, -CHO, -Ar, -Me, -OMe.

A one-pot method is used with a hexane solution of 2-bromoquinoline and n-butyllithium as raw materials, and tetrahydrofuran as solvent. At -70 to -90°C, 2-lithiumquinoline is formed, which is then captured by triisopropyl borate to generate isopropyl-quinoline-2-boronate lithium salt. Without separation, the formed isopropyl-quinoline-2-boronate lithium salt is directly reacted with N-phenyldiethanolamine to generate a new quinoline-2-boronate N-phenyldiethanolamine ester. This invention provides a method for protecting the boric acid at the 2-position of quinoline with an electron-donating macrocycle to form a new quinoline-2-boronate ester, which is simpler, more readily available, and has a higher reaction yield. This invention also provides a method for using quinoline-2-boronate N-phenyldiethanolamine ester in the subsequent Suzuki coupling reaction process, enabling the coupling reaction to proceed smoothly and thus facilitating the construction of fused-ring heterocyclic compounds.

It has improved tolerance to reaction conditions and can withstand more stringent reaction conditions, ensuring the smooth progress of coupling reactions and facilitating the construction of quinoline-based fused-ring heterocyclic compounds.

[0066] The method for preparing quinoline-2-boronic acid N-phenyldiethanolamine ester of the present invention is simple, easy to operate, simple to post-process, has a high yield, can greatly reduce the preparation cost, has great commercial practical significance, and retains the high activity equivalent to boric acid.
