Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of naphthalene synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing a naphthalene compound. Background Art

[0002] Naphthalene is the simplest condensed aromatic hydrocarbon and an attractive structural skeleton that is widely present in various biologically active natural products. Common naphthalene compounds include nafcillin, Cambinol, naproxen, and velpatasvir. Among them, nafcillin has been used as an antimicrobial drug due to its satisfactory antimicrobial effect. In addition, they also play an important role in nanotechnology, electronic materials, and supramolecular chemistry. Therefore, how to simply and efficiently construct a naphthalene ring skeleton from simple and readily available raw materials has always been one of the important topics of common concern in the field of organic and drug synthesis.

[0003] In the past few years, synthetic chemists have developed several efficient methods for the construction of naphthalene ring skeletons. Our attention has been attracted by those Lewis acid-catalyzed intermolecular cyclizations using alkynes as partners because of their operational simplicity and readily available substrates. The Lewis acid-catalyzed intermolecular addition between the (2-phenylethyl)carbonyl group and the alkyne initially forms the first C-C bond. Then, the in situ formed alkenyl carbocation undergoes an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction to generate the naphthalene product. In these tandem methods, two new C-C bonds and a new benzene ring are generated in one pot. However, some of them suffer from long reaction times and low yields due to the difficulty in the formation of the first C-C bond. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for synthesizing a naphthalene compound, which uses a substrate with a carbon-carbon triple bond substituent group in combination with a hydroxyl group to synthesize a naphthalene ring skeleton.

[0005] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0006] A method for synthesizing a naphthalene compound, comprising:

[0007]

[0008] Wherein, X is a substituent, preferably a hydrogen group or a halogen, and R1 is an aromatic ring or an aromatic heterocycle, preferably a phenyl group or a thiophene group.

[0009] The accelerator is one of Tf2O, TfOH, and TsOH·H2O, preferably Tf2O.

[0010] The solvent is chloroform or DCM, preferably chloroform.

[0011] The temperature is 25-100°C, preferably 80°C.

[0012] The reaction time is 0.5-4h, preferably 3h.

[0013] Further, the specific steps of the method for synthesizing naphthalene compounds include:

[0014] In a pressure tube, compound 1 (0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv.), solvent (1.5 mL) and promoter (0.1 mmol, 0.5 equiv.) were mixed and reacted in an oil bath under air atmosphere. After the reaction, 5 mL of water was added to the reaction mixture and extracted with 12 mL of ethyl acetate three times, and the organic layer was collected; the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure, and then purified by silica gel column chromatography using petroleum ether as eluent to obtain product 2.

[0015] The solvent used was chloroform.

[0016] The accelerator is trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride.

[0017] The temperature of the oil bath reaction was 80°C.

[0018] The oil bath reaction time is 3 h.

[0019] It can be seen from the above description that the present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] The present invention solves the defects of the existing process and adopts a substrate with a carbon-carbon triple bond substituted group in combination with a hydroxyl group for the first time to synthesize a naphthalene ring skeleton, which not only effectively reduces the difficulty of the reaction and improves the reaction efficiency, but also does not require a noble metal catalyst and has mild reaction conditions.
