Description

Technical Field

[0001] The patent of this invention relates to the field of organic and pharmaceutical synthesis, and in particular refers to a method for efficiently synthesizing chiral α-phosphorus compounds by catalyzing α-substituted α,β-unsaturated phosphorus oxides, phosphates, and phosphoric acid with cheap metal nickel. Background Art

[0002] Chiral α-phosphorus compounds are not only important backbones for many pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and bioactive molecules, but also crucial intermediates for obtaining chiral organophosphorus compounds. For example, the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent naproxen analog (+)-6-methoxy-α-methyl-2-naphthylmethyl phosphate exhibits excellent anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity; fosmidomycin analogs inhibit the growth of Plasmodium falciparum; (S,R)-alafosfalin is a highly effective antibacterial agent against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms; (R)-1-amino-3,4-dichlorobenzylphosphonic acid effectively inhibits phenylalanine ammonia lyase; and (N)-methanocarba phosphonate analogues 5'-AMP are protective agents for the treatment of heart failure. Chiral phosphates can act as both renin inhibitors and antibacterial agents.

[0003]

[0004] Due to the significant application value of chiral α-phosphorus compounds in pharmaceuticals and other fields, methodologies for their synthesis have been intensively studied, and numerous synthetic strategies have been developed. Currently, asymmetric hydrogenation is one of the most direct and efficient methods for synthesizing chiral α-phosphorus compounds. In the past few decades, a few examples have utilized catalysts based on precious metals such as rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium complexed with chiral phosphine ligands to asymmetric hydrogenate α-substituted α,β-unsaturated phosphorus oxides, phosphates, and phosphoric acid to obtain chiral α-phosphorus compounds. However, the high cost, high toxicity, limited crustal reserves, and heavy metal environmental pollution of these precious metal catalytic systems significantly limit their industrial potential. The development of inexpensive, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and abundant nickel asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation reaction systems is in line with the requirements and trends of sustainable development in modern chemistry. Currently, the synthesis of chiral α-phosphorus compounds using inexpensive nickel catalytic systems for asymmetric hydrogenation remains unreported, presenting significant challenges and requiring the development of efficient catalytic systems.

[0086] Under a high-purity argon atmosphere, Ni(OAc)2 (14.14 mg, 0.08 mmol) and the chiral ligand (S,S)-Ph-BPE (44.58 mg, 0.088 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous hexafluoroisopropanol (7.2 mL) and anhydrous methanol (0.8 mL). The mixture was stirred at 15-35°C for 36 hours to obtain a clear solution. 250 μL of the clear solution was added to (1-(o-tolyl)vinyl)phosphonicacid (0.1 mmol) and hexafluoroisopropanol (0.75 mL). The reaction system was placed in an autoclave and stirred at 70°C under H2 (70 atm) for 36 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the product was separated by column chromatography (silica gel column, eluent: ethyl acetate) to obtain pure (S)-(1-(o-tolyl)ethyl)phosphonic acid (99% yield). The product was analyzed by HPLC, and the ee value was determined to be 98% ee.
