Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the preparation of compounds, belonging to the field of organic synthesis. Specifically, it relates to a method for synthesizing fluoroolefinic phosphorus. Background Technology

[0002] Organophosphorus compounds, due to their unique chemical and biological properties, have wide applications in advanced materials, coordination chemistry, pesticides and pharmaceuticals, and life sciences. Furthermore, they serve as synthetic intermediates, organic catalysts, and ligands in organic synthetic chemistry. Among them, alkenyl phosphorus compounds have outstanding application value. Firstly, they are synthetic modules for obtaining functional phosphorus compounds. Moreover, they exhibit remarkable pharmaceutical properties. Given their importance, the preparation of alkenyl phosphorus compounds has received considerable attention.

[0003] It is well known that the introduction of fluorine atoms can effectively regulate the metabolic stability, lipophilicity, and bioavailability of parent molecules. Among these, monofluoroalkenyl fragments are an important class of fluorine-containing skeletons, serving as key skeletons for the synthesis of fluorine-containing molecules. Furthermore, in drug research, monofluoroalkenyl groups can also serve as ideal bioisosteres for peptide bonds, improving conformational and peptidase stability. Therefore, exploring more practical and efficient synthetic methods for monofluoroalkenyl phosphorus compounds is imperative. The synthesis of monofluoroalkenyl phosphorus compounds was first achieved through alkenylation reactions (Equation 1, J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1982, 1270-1271). However, this reaction requires harsh conditions at -78 degrees Celsius, necessitates the preparation of fluorine and phosphorus-containing reagents, and yields an E / Z mixture, making product separation difficult.

[0004]

[0005] Beier et al. synthesized fluoroenylphosphine compounds by eliminating α,α-difluorophosphine esters. This reaction requires multiple steps, harsh reaction conditions, and poor functional group compatibility (Equation 2, Synlett 2011, 331-334).

[0006]

[0007] The Poisson group has developed a copper-promoted method for the synthesis of monofluorobenzylphosphine from unstable diazocarbonyl derivatives. This method requires the preparation of unstable diazocarbonyl derivatives, the use of toxic reagents and excess cesium fluoride, and has a limited range of substrates (Equation 3, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016, 55, 14141-14145).

[0008]

[0009] Recently, a scheme for synthesizing fluoroalkenylphosphine from geminal fluorohaloalkenes has been reported. However, such reactions require the synthesis of geminal fluorohaloalkenes with a defined configuration, and the reactions all yield mixed E / Z products. The product selectivity is very low, product separation is difficult, and an excess of phosphorus-containing reagents is required (Equation 4, Org. Lett. 2022, 24, 8343-8347; Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2019, 2019, 1170-1177; J. Fluorine Chem. 2001, 112, 47-54).

[0010]

[0011] Existing methods for synthesizing fluoroenyl phosphorus compounds still suffer from numerous problems: demanding reaction conditions, lack of stereoselectivity (E / Z mixtures), limited substrate range, and the need for multi-step synthesis. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop more convenient, practical, and efficient methods for synthesizing monofluoroenyl phosphorus compounds with high stereoselectivity and good functional group compatibility. Summary of the Invention

[0012] To address the shortcomings of current methods for synthesizing fluoroolefin phosphorus compounds, such as demanding reaction conditions, poor stereoselectivity, narrow substrate compatibility, and the need for multi-step synthesis, this invention provides a highly efficient, selective method for synthesizing fluoroolefin phosphorus compounds using readily available fluoroacrylic acid and phosphate compounds as raw materials, exhibiting excellent functional group compatibility.

[0013] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for synthesizing fluoroolefinic phosphorus, characterized in that: using fluoroacrylic acid and phosphorus hydrides as raw materials, using terpyridine ruthenium chloride hexahydrate as a catalyst, triethylenediamine as a base, tert-butyl peroxide as an initiator, and acetonitrile as a solvent, the reaction is carried out according to the following reaction formula to obtain a class of E-configuration fluoroolefinic phosphorus compounds having general formula (I):

[0014]

[0015] Where R represents hydrogen, halogen, ester group, cyano group, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, tetrafluorophenyl, pentafluorophenyl, etc.; R1 represents aryl, methoxy, ethoxy, etc.

[0016] Preferably, the amount of terpyridine ruthenium chloride hexahydrate is 3% of the amount of fluoroacrylic acid.

[0017] Preferably, the amount of triethylenediamine is twice the amount of fluoroacrylic acid.

[0018] Preferably, the amount of the phosphohydrogen compound is twice the amount of the fluoroacrylic acid.

[0019] Preferably, the amount of tert-butyl peroxide is three times the amount of fluoroacrylic acid.

[0020] Preferably, the light wavelength is 465 nanometers, the reaction time is 10 hours, and the reaction temperature is room temperature.

[0021] This method represents the first efficient and convenient preparation of fluoroolefinic phosphorus compounds using fluoroacrylic acid and phosphate compounds as raw materials. The reaction mixture features inexpensive and readily available raw materials, high product yield and selectivity, a simple feeding method, good functional group compatibility, a wide range of applicable substrates, and high economic value. It provides an efficient and highly selective method for the preparation of E-configuration fluoroolefinic phosphorus compounds. Detailed Implementation
