Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of compound synthesis, and in particular to a method for constructing a chiral [2,2] paracyclophane by cobalt catalysis driven by electrochemical oxidation and asymmetric carbon-hydrogen bond activation / kinetic resolution. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the field of transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric carbon-hydrogen bond functionalization has developed rapidly, providing a new revolutionary idea for the efficient and economical synthesis of chiral molecules (CG Newton, S.-G. Wang, CC Liveira, N. Cramer, Chem. Rev. 2017, 117, 8908). Among them, the transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric carbon-hydrogen bond oxidative coupling reaction driven by electrochemical oxidation has received widespread attention. Compared with the traditional asymmetric carbon-hydrogen bond oxidative coupling reaction, this strategy replaces the equivalent chemical oxidant with anodic oxidation, and the protons in the reaction system undergo a reduction hydrogen evolution reaction at the cathode. The electrons in the whole process act as traceless redox agents, which has the characteristics of atom economy and sustainable development. It is widely used in the stereospecific construction of high-value-added chiral skeletons such as central chirality, axial chirality, and ferrocene-like face chirality. For example: In 2020, the Ackermann group developed an electrochemical oxidation-driven palladium-catalyzed asymmetric carbon-hydrogen bond activation olefination reaction to construct axial chiral compounds (U. Dhawa, C. Tian, ​​T. Wdowik, J. CAO Liveira, J. Hao, L. Ackermann, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2020, 59, 13451); in 2023, the Shi group reported the first electrochemical oxidation-driven 3d transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric carbon-hydrogen bond oxidative coupling reaction using cheap and readily available divalent cobalt salts as catalysts. (Q.-J.Yao, F.-R.Huang, J.-H.Chen, M.-Y.Zhong, B.-F.Shi, Angew.Chem., Int.Ed.2023, 62, e202218533); In 2024, Shi and Yao's research team reported the electrochemical oxidation-driven copper-catalyzed asymmetric carbon-hydrogen bond acetylation reaction to synthesize chiral ferrocene (Z.-Z.Zhang, G.Zhou, Q.Yue, Q.-J.Yao, B.-F.Shi, ACS Catal.2024, 14, 4030).

[0003] On the other hand, cyclophanes are cyclic compounds formed by bridging one or more independent aromatic systems. Among them, the [2,2]-cyclophane compounds with the smallest ring system are the most representative. Due to the structural rigidity of [2,2]-cyclophane molecules, when they lose their structural symmetry, they will produce a rich variety of chiral structural properties. In recent years, chiral [2,2]-cyclophanes have been widely used in many fields such as asymmetric catalysis, material science and medicinal chemistry due to their unique structural characteristics, such as:, so their asymmetric synthesis has also attracted the attention of chemists. The strategies for asymmetric synthesis reported so far mainly include the following two (GJ Rowlands, Org. Biomol. Chem. 2008, 6, 1527): 1) Chemical resolution of racemic [2,2]-cyclophane substrates using equivalent chiral reagents or chiral auxiliary groups; 2) Kinetic resolution of racemic [2,2]-cyclophanes by asymmetric catalytic transformation. Although the synthesis of chiral cyclophanes [2,2] has achieved some initial results, both of the above two types of synthetic strategies have the following limitations: 1. Chemical resolution requires the introduction of equivalent chiral reagents, the resolution steps are cumbersome, and the atom economy and step economy are poor; 2. Kinetic resolution strategies often require substrates with specific side functional groups, and the strategy has poor universality; at the same time, the transformation form is relatively single, making it difficult to achieve structural diversity of the skeleton.

[0004] At present, there are only reports on the catalytic research of chiral organic small molecules for the synthesis of diverse chiral [2,2]-cyclophane skeletons based on asymmetric carbon-hydrogen bond catalytic transformation: In 2023, Yang's research group used exo-rotatory 4-amino-[2,2]-cyclophane and azodicarbonate as raw materials, (S)-3,3'-di-9-phenanthrenyl-1,1'-binaphthol phosphate as a chiral small molecule catalyst, and achieved the kinetic resolution of 4-amino-[2,2]-cyclophane through asymmetric carbon-hydrogen bond amination reaction (S. Yu, H. Bao, D. Zhang, X. Yang, Nat. Commun. 2023, 14, 5239). The chiral small molecule catalyst used in this method is expensive and the universality of the reaction substrate is low. Therefore, the development of efficient new methods and strategies for asymmetric catalytic synthesis to achieve asymmetric and efficient construction of chiral [2,2]-cyclophane skeletons has important academic value and potential application value.
