Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis, and in particular to a method for preparing 2-fluoro-1,2-diphenyl ethyl ketone compounds by palladium catalysis and the products thereof. Background Technology
[0002] Fluorine-containing drugs are widely used, accounting for about 30% of all drugs, and their use is showing an increasing trend year by year. Common fluorine-containing drugs include Prozac for treating depression, Roflunarizine for treating bronchitis, fluphenazine with sedative effects, norfloxacin with bactericidal effects, trifluralin as a herbicide, and efavirenz, an anti-HIV-1 drug. Therefore, the synthesis of biologically active organofluorine compounds has become a key research focus in synthetic chemistry.
[0003] Selectively introducing fluorine atoms into organic molecules to replace hydrogen atoms or hydroxyl groups can alter the molecule's polarity, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy. In aryl ketones, replacing the carbonyl α-hydrogen atom with a fluorine atom can inhibit carbonyl enolization, improve drug metabolic stability, and compounds containing this functional group have unique medicinal value. Examples include the potassium ion channel agent flulindokalner and the potent antibacterial agent solithromycin.
[0004]
[0005] In recent years, researchers have developed a variety of fluorinating reagents or fluorinated building blocks, making it easier for synthetic chemists to obtain α-fluorocarbonyl organic compounds. For example, the Guo group used bifunctional squamamide as a chiral catalyst and employed electrosynthesis to achieve the asymmetric alkylation reaction of fluorinated geminal alcohols [8] with detrifluoroacetic acid, obtaining a wide variety of chiral α-fluoroaryl ketones (Chang, X.; Zhang, JY; Guo, C. et al. Angew Chem Int Ed, 2020, 59, 18500-18504).
[0006] Therefore, how to prepare α-fluorocarbonyl organic compounds using fluorinating reagents or fluorinated building blocks is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing 2-fluoro-1,2-diphenyl ethyl ketone compounds by palladium catalysis and the products thereof, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution:
[0009] A method for preparing 2-fluoro-1,2-diphenyl ethyl ketone compounds using palladium catalysis includes the following steps:
[0010] (1) The palladium catalyst, ligand, base and solvent are mixed and stirred, then fluorine-containing building blocks and bromoaromatic hydrocarbons are added and stirred to react. After the reaction is completed, water is added to quench the reaction, and then the solvent is removed by extraction, washing, separation and drying to obtain crude product.
[0011] (2) The crude product was purified by column chromatography to obtain the 2-fluoro-1,2-diphenyl ethyl ketone compound.
[0012] Beneficial effects: such as Figure 1 As shown, the reaction principle of this invention is as follows: First, the ligand L is complexed with Pd(II) to generate active L2Pd(0), which then undergoes an oxidative addition reaction with the CX bond in the aryl halide. At the same time, the fluorinated building block generates an enol anion in situ under the action of alkali, and acts as a nucleophile to perform ligand exchange on the intermediate [Pd(II)](Ar)(X). The intermediate [Pd(II)](Ar)(Enolate) formed after the exchange undergoes a reductive elimination reaction to generate 2-fluoro-1,2-diphenyl ethyl ketone compounds, and at the same time, L2Pd(0) is obtained again to complete the catalytic cycle.
