Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical fields of organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, and more specifically, relates to a total synthesis method of rhododaurines A-C from Rhododendron dauricum. Background Art

[0002] Plants of the genus Rhododendron are rich in structurally diverse diterpenoids, and some of the components have been proven to have significant analgesic activity. However, diterpenoids from natural sources face major bottleneck problems: the content of the target component in plants is extremely low, and it is significantly affected by the growth environment and harvesting season, resulting in high extraction and separation costs.

[0003] The technology for extracting diterpenoids in our laboratory originally belongs to the field of natural medicinal chemistry. The plant used is the leaf of the medicinal plant Rhododendron dauricum L. of the family Ericaceae, 6.0 kg, collected from Tangyuan County, Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province (46.7°N, 129.9°E) in June 2018. The dried leaves of Rhododendron dauricum (6.0 kg) were crushed and soaked in 12 L of 95% ethanol at room temperature for 5 times, 3 days each time. The extraction solutions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a total extract (1.6 kg). The total extract was suspended in 1.6 L of water and then extracted with 1.6 L of petroleum ether 6 times. The petroleum ether layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the petroleum ether extraction fraction (460 g).

[0004] The research group where the inventors of the present invention are located previously developed a diterpenoid compound and its application for preparing analgesic drugs (see Chinese Patent Application No. 202311593051.5 for details). Through normal-phase, reverse-phase, liquid-phase and other chromatographic means, a series of structurally very novel rhododaurines A-C from Rhododendron dauricum were successfully isolated, and it was verified that they showed good analgesic activity in subsequent activity assays. The structural formulas of these rhododaurines A-C are as follows:

[0005]

[0006] However, the content of these diterpenoids in Rhododendron dauricum is too low to further study their activity mechanisms. The limited nature of natural medicinal resources makes overcollection and unreasonable utilization likely to lead to resource depletion, which in turn affects the balance of the entire ecosystem. In addition, extracting and separating such trace components requires a large amount of human and material resources for the mining, extraction and preparation of medicinal materials, resulting in high production costs. And there is currently no relevant report on the synthesis of rhododaurines A-C.

[0007] The above technical defects have severely restricted the large-scale supply of rhododaurines A–C from Rhododendron dauricum L. and the in-depth development of their pharmacodynamic studies. Therefore, developing a biomimetic total synthesis route with high yield and low cost has become the key to breaking through the limitations of natural sources and promoting the transformation of these components into drugs. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Aiming at the deficiencies still existing in the existing technology for extracting and separating rhododaurines A–C from the natural plant Rhododendron dauricum L., the object of the present invention is to provide a total synthesis method for rhododaurines A–C, which can overcome the disadvantages of extremely low content of rhododaurines A–C in nature and difficulty in large-scale extraction.

[0009] To achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a total synthesis method for rhododaurines A–C, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Compound 3 and compound 5 are subjected to allylic stereoselective addition in toluene solvent under the catalysis of n-butyllithium and at a low temperature of -78 °C to construct a chiral center to obtain compound 6;

[0011]

[0012] Step 2: Compound 6 is deprotected from the methoxymethyl (MOM) protecting group and cyclized under acidic conditions to react to form rhododaurine C (7);

[0013]

[0014] Step 3: Rhododaurine C (7) undergoes an intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition and oxidation reaction under illumination at 300-385 nm and in an oxygen atmosphere to obtain rhododaurine B (8) and the epoxy epimer epirhododaurine B (9);

[0015]

[0016] Step 4: Epirhododaurine B (9) undergoes acid-catalyzed ring ether protonation rearrangement to form rhododaurine A (10);

[0017]

[0018] As a further preference of the present invention, in step one, the molar ratio of compound 3 to compound 5 is 1:1.1 - 1.4, and the dosage of n-butyllithium is 1.1 - 1.4 times the molar amount of compound 3.

[0019] As a further preference of the present invention, in step two, the reaction uses a hydrochloric acid / ethanol mixed solvent to provide an acidic condition;

[0020] Preferably, the hydrochloric acid / ethanol mixed solvent is obtained by mixing hydrochloric acid and ethanol at a volume ratio of 1:1, and the concentration of hydrochloric acid before mixing is 1.0 mol / L;

[0021] The dosage of hydrochloric acid is 1.0 - 2.0 times the molar amount of compound 6; the reaction time is 0.5 - 2 hours; the cyclization product is purified by column chromatography; more preferably, the column chromatography specifically uses petroleum ether / ethyl acetate column chromatography, and the volume ratio of petroleum ether to ethyl acetate in the petroleum ether / ethyl acetate is 10:1.

[0022] As a further preference of the present invention, in step three, the reaction is carried out in a methanol solvent, and the product is separated by gradient elution;

[0023] Preferably, the gradient elution specifically uses a petroleum ether / ethyl acetate eluent, and the volume ratio of petroleum ether to ethyl acetate in the petroleum ether / ethyl acetate eluent is 10:1.

[0024] As a further preference of the present invention, in step four, the acid catalysis uses a formic acid / acetone mixed solvent, the reaction temperature is 25 - 50 °C, and the reaction time is 2 - 5 hours;

[0025] Preferably, the formic acid / acetone mixed solvent is obtained by mixing formic acid and acetone at a volume ratio of 1:5, and the concentration of formic acid before mixing is 1 mol / L;

[0026] The dosage of formic acid is 1.5 - 2.5 times the molar amount of epirhododaurine B (9).

[0027] As a further preference of the present invention, compound 3 used in step one is prepared according to the following sub-steps:

[0028] S1: Using orcinol with the structural formula shown in formula 1 as a substrate, under the protection of a nitrogen atmosphere at 0 °C, a tetrahydrofuran solution of iodine is added dropwise to a tetrahydrofuran / aqueous solution of orcinol containing sodium bicarbonate. After reacting for 2 hours, compound 2 is formed;

[0029]

[0030] S2: Under the condition of 0 °C, dissolve compound 2 in DMF and stir it under nitrogen protection; subsequently, continue to add NaH dispersed in paraffin oil to the solution under nitrogen protection atmosphere. After 30 minutes, continue to dropwise add MOMBr to the reaction mixture at 0 °C; stir the reaction mixture for 3 hours to allow it to fully react at 23 °C, and the reaction produces compound 3.

[0031]

[0032] As a further preference of the present invention, compound 5 used in step one is prepared by the following preparation method:

[0033] Under the condition of 25 °C, dissolve compound 4 in dichloromethane and stir it under nitrogen protection; subsequently, continue to add MnO2 to the solution under nitrogen protection atmosphere, start to stir the reaction mixture for 10 hours to allow it to fully react at 25 °C, and obtain compound 5.

[0034]

[0035] Through the above technical solution conceived by the present invention, compared with the prior art, the following

[0036] beneficial effects can be achieved:

[0037] The present invention first uses a chemical synthesis method to obtain a series of natural product diterpenoid components rhododaurines A–C, and designs a mature reaction route. It can use compound 3 and compound 5 as starting materials (compound 3 and compound 5 can be purchased commercially), or use cheaper compound 1 and compound 4 as starting materials (also available commercially) to achieve the total synthesis of rhododaurines A–C from Rhododendron dauricum L. Taking compound 1 and compound 4 as starting materials as an example, starting from the easily available industrial raw materials orcinol and farnesal, and using photoinduced cyclization and oxidation reactions in the middle, the stereoselectivity of the reaction is improved. The reaction conditions are mild, the atom utilization rate is high, the reagents are cheap and easily available, and the reaction is green, safe and environmentally friendly.

[0038] The content of rhododaurines A–C from Rhododendron dauricum L. in nature is extremely low and it is difficult to extract on a large scale, while the total synthesis method of the present invention can provide a stable supply to meet the needs of research and application.

[0039] The present invention can especially use orcinol (i.e., compound 1) as the starting material, and through MOM protection, substitution with iodine, addition with farnesal (i.e., compound 4), deprotection, cyclization and then oxidation, rhododaurines A–C of Rhododendron dauricum L. are obtained. Using compound 1 and compound 4 as the starting materials, which are cheap and easily available, the natural product Rhododaurines A-C of Rhododendron dauricum L. is obtained through the artificial chemical synthesis route of the present invention, which can break through the limitation of synthesizing Rhododaurines A-C from natural sources.

[0040] In the prior art, due to the low extraction efficiency from plant sources and limited supply of the natural product rhododaurines A–C, using the method of the present invention, the total yields of rhododaurins A–C reach 5.0%, 16.6%, and 27.7% (calculated based on orcinol, w / w) respectively, which are significantly higher than the separation efficiency of the existing extraction process.

[0041] In summary, the new skeleton diterpene synthesis method in the present invention has high yield, mild reaction conditions and good selectivity, solves the problem of dependence on natural sources of rhododaurins A–C, provides a stable material basis for the analgesic activity research and drug development of rhododaurins A–C, and has practical application value.
