Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalytic synthesis technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing β-hydroxy-α,α-difluoroamide compounds. Background Technology

[0002] Fluorine-containing compounds are widely found in natural products, bioactive molecules, and drug molecules. Among them, difluoroamides occupy a very important position, and their synthesis has inspired continuous efforts. The most common method for synthesizing difluoroamides is photoinduced or metal-catalyzed reaction, which involves two basic steps: photoinduced or metal-catalyzed generation of difluoroamide-containing carbon radicals from bromodifluoroamide compounds, followed by radical addition reactions with various acceptors. However, despite numerous efforts, previous reports still suffer from the following problems: the need to introduce expensive photocatalysts; or the need to use metals to activate bromodifluoroamides to form radical sources, resulting in difficult metal recovery after the reaction and an unfriendly reaction environment. These problems limit the large-scale application of the above methods. Therefore, it is necessary to seek a mild, green, efficient, simple, and convenient method for synthesizing difluoroamides. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention solves the technical problem that existing synthesis methods require the use of light or metal catalysts, and provides a more convenient, efficient, and scalable method for preparing β-hydroxy-α,α-difluoroamide compounds.

[0004] This invention utilizes an electrocatalytic approach to achieve the nucleophilic addition reaction of bromodifluoroamide with aldehydes and ketones through electroreduction polarity reversal, enabling the efficient preparation of β-hydroxy-α,α-difluoroamide compounds, which differs from common free radical addition reactions (bromodifluoroamide substrates are excellent free radical donors).

[0005] A method for preparing a β-hydroxy-α,α-difluoroamide compound, comprising the following steps:

[0006] I. Under room temperature and a nitrogen atmosphere, bromodifluoroamide compounds, electrophilic compounds, n Bu4NBF4 and Molecular sieves are added to ultra-dry solvent and stirred until homogeneous to obtain a mixed solution;

[0007] The electrophilic reagent compound is a ketone compound, an aldehyde compound, or an electron-deficient olefin compound;

[0008] 2. Under a nitrogen atmosphere and at room temperature, electrolyze the mixed solution obtained in step 1 for 5.0–5.5 h, then remove the solvent by rotary evaporation, and then separate and purify by thin-layer chromatography. The product obtained is a β-hydroxy-α,α-difluoroamide compound, thus completing the preparation.

[0009] Furthermore, the bromodifluoroamide compound mentioned in step one is 2-bromo-2,2-difluoro-N-(p-tolyl)acetamide, 2-bromo-2,2-difluoro-N-(p-isopropylphenyl)acetamide, 2-bromo-2,2-difluoro-N-(phenyl)acetamide, or 2-bromo-2,2-difluoro-N-(p-fluorophenyl)acetamide.

[0010] Furthermore, the ketone compound mentioned in step one is acetone, 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone, cyclobutanone, cyclopentanone, or cyclohexanone.

[0013] Furthermore, as described in step one n Bu4NBF4 is tetrabutyltetrafluoroborate amine.

[0014] Furthermore, as described in step one Molecular sieve powder desiccant.

[0015] Furthermore, the ultra-dry solvent mentioned in step one is ultra-dry tetrahydrofuran.

[0016] Furthermore, in step one, the ratio of the bromodifluoroamide compound to the ultra-dry solvent is (0.40–0.42) mmol:4 mL; the ratio of the ketone compound to the ultra-dry solvent is (2.00–2.02) mmol:4 mL; the ratio of the aldehyde compound to the ultra-dry solvent is (2.00–2.02) mmol:4 mL; and the ratio of the electron-deficient olefin compound to the ultra-dry solvent is (2.00–2.02) mmol:4 mL. n The ratio of Bu4NBF4 to ultra-dry solvent is (162-165) mg: 4 mL; The ratio of molecular sieve to ultra-dry solvent is (198-200) mg: 4 mL.

[0018]

[0019] Wherein, R is aryl or alkyl; R' is H or methyl;

[0020] Or the principle is:

[0021]

[0022] The bromodifluoroamide compounds of this invention, taking 2-bromo-2,2-difluoro-N-(p-tolyl)acetamide as an example, are synthesized using the following steps:

[0023]

[0024] As shown above, the method involves weighing p-toluidine (10.0 mmol, 1.0 eq) and lanthanum trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.5 mmol, 5% mol) into a 100 mL Shrek flask under air conditions. Immediately afterward, the flask is repeatedly evacuated using a double-row tube and purged with nitrogen. Ethyl dibromofluoroacetate (12.0 mmol, 1.2 eq) is added under nitrogen atmosphere, and the stopper is sealed with a sealing film to prevent leakage. The mixture is then stirred at 50 °C for approximately 12 hours. The reaction is monitored for completeness using a TLC plate. Once complete, the mixture is transferred to a clean round-bottom flask and rotary evaporated. The purified 2-bromo-2,2-difluoro-N-(p-tolyl)acetamide is obtained by column chromatography using petroleum ether at a volume ratio of 20:1.

[0025] Beneficial effects of this invention:

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, this invention uses a simple, green, and efficient electrochemical method to synthesize difluoroamide compounds, which has the following main advantages:
