TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing indole derivatives by palladium-catalyzed arylsulfonium salt. BACKGROUND
[0002] Indole and its derivatives play a variety of important physiological functions in the human body. Tryptophan, as an essential amino acid for the human body, not only participates in protein synthesis, but also can derive melatonin and serotonin. Melatonin is responsible for regulating the biological clock, while serotonin is a neurotransmitter related to happiness. Due to its unique biological activity, indole and its derivatives have attracted much attention in the pharmaceutical field, showing a wide application prospect and important research value. According to the review report of “Ring in Drugs”, there are currently 24 drugs on the market containing indole ring structure, which fully embodies the important value of indole in drug research and development. The synthesis method of indole compounds has been one of the hot topics of chemical researchers.
[0003] The traditional method for synthesizing indole derivatives mainly uses arylhydrazines, arylamines, aryl nitroxides and other aryl nitrogen-containing compounds as raw materials to construct various substituted indole derivatives. The existing method is difficult to synthesize highly functionalized indole derivatives due to problems such as pre-functionalization of raw materials, complex substrates, difficulty in separation of catalysts and low yield. Therefore, it is still challenging to develop an efficient method for synthesizing indole derivatives.
[0004] In order to solve the problem of poor positional selectivity when introducing active functional groups (such as halogen -Cl, -Br, -I or boron group) into aromatic hydrocarbons, Ritter, Procter, Alcarazo and Yorimitsu research groups developed a highly position-selective preparation method of arylsulfonium salt in 2019. This method can realize the functionalization of C-H bond with extremely high positional selectivity to generate arylsulfonium salt, in which the ratio of para-product to ortho-product is as high as 500:1, and the ratio of para-product to meta-product is as high as 200:1. The arylsulfonium salt strategy can directly introduce arylsulfonium salt into complex natural products and drug molecules due to its excellent positional selectivity, so the source of arylsulfonium salt is very wide.
[0005] Although the source of arylsulfonium salt is very wide, there is no report on the direct synthesis of indole from arylsulfonium salt. SUMMARY
