Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis, and more specifically to a method for preparing an isoquinoline derivative. Background Technology

[0002] Isoquinolines are a common class of pharmacologically active structures, found in various types of drugs. Commonly used drugs containing isoquinoline core structures have various medicinal activities, including antitumor, antifungal, antiviral, anesthetic, and enzyme inhibitor activities. Naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloids are extremely common in the pharmaceutical field, such as berberine, papaverine, and magnoflorine. Apart from some alkaloids found in natural plants, most isoquinolines and their derivatives require chemical synthesis.

[0003] Currently, commonly used synthetic methods include: 1. Cycling of 2-halobenzaldehyde imines with alkynes under the catalysis of transition metals such as cobalt, copper, nickel, palladium, rhodium, and ruthenium, intramolecular cyclization of o-alkynyl oximes or benzyl azides, and multi-component reactions of aldehydes or ketones with amines and isocyanates to obtain the corresponding isoquinoline derivatives. However, this method suffers from problems such as high metal prices and environmental pollution. 2. Without transition metal catalysis, using o-acetylbenzaldehyde with various aryl methylamines or heteroaryl methylamines as raw materials, reacting under alkaline conditions to obtain isoquinolines in various yields. In addition, there are some free radical reactions and the application of new technologies, such as the tandem cyclization of o-alkynylphenylacetaldehyde with ammonia to synthesize isoquinolines under microwave conditions. However, these methods have limitations such as harsh reaction conditions and poor functional group tolerance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new methods for preparing isoquinolines that avoid the use of some transition metals, as well as harsh reaction conditions and highly toxic reagents, in line with the concept of modern green chemistry, and have significant application value. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention discloses a novel method for generating isoquinoline products from o-dihalobenzenes and aminoenones under the action of alkali metal hydrides. The method of this invention is simpler, uses inexpensive and readily available raw materials, operates under mild conditions, and achieves high-yield synthesis of isoquinolines without the need for transition metal catalysis.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for preparing an isoquinoline derivative includes the following steps: using o-dihalobenzene and aminoenone as raw materials, reacting them in the presence of an alkali metal hydride to obtain an isoquinoline structure product; specifically, adding the alkali metal hydride to a solvent, then adding the aminoenone and stirring, followed by adding the o-dihalobenzene, and then reacting at 20℃~80℃ for 12~18 h to obtain the isoquinoline derivative.

[0009] In this invention, the reaction temperature is 20 ℃~80 ℃, preferably 30 ℃~50 ℃, and most preferably 40 ℃.

[0010] In this invention, the molar ratio of aminoenone, o-dihalobenzene and alkali metal hydride is 1:(1.5-3):(3-10), preferably 1:(2-3):(5-8), and more preferably 1:2.5:6.

[0019] ;

[0020] Preferably, the added alkali metal compound is NaH, the solvent is THF, the reaction temperature is 40 °C, and the reaction time is 15 h.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To better understand the technical content of this invention, the following embodiments are provided for detailed explanation.

[0024] The method for synthesizing isoquinoline structural products provided by this invention uses o-dihalobenzene and aminoenone as raw materials, and undergoes addition and rearrangement reactions in the presence of alkali metal hydrides to obtain isoquinoline structural products. Specifically, the alkali metal hydride is added to a solvent, then the aminoenone compound is added, and the mixture is stirred for 1 to 10 minutes. Subsequently, o-dihalobenzene is added dropwise, and the mixture is stirred at 20 ℃ to 80 ℃ for 12 to 18 hours to obtain isoquinoline structural products.

[0025] The preparation method provided by this invention, using aminoenones and o-dihalobenzenes as substrates, successfully constructs structurally diverse isoquinoline products in excellent yields through a series of addition and rearrangement reactions. The reactants are inexpensive and readily available, the conditions are mild, and high-yield synthesis of isoquinolines is achieved without transition metal catalysis. Compared with the classic method using Kobayashi precursors, this method is simpler and more atom-economical. Therefore, this type of method has great potential for application in other organic synthesis reactions.

[0026] The raw materials involved in the various embodiments of this invention are either commercially available products or can be prepared using existing methods. The specific preparation operations and characterization tests of this invention are conventional techniques.

[0027] Example 1: Preparation of isoquinoline structural products

[0028] At room temperature, NaH (60% in oil, 3.6 mmol, 6.0 equiv) was weighed into a round-bottom flask, and 2 mL of anhydrous THF was added and stirred to suspend it in the solvent. Aminoenone 1 (0.6 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in anhydrous THF (2.0 mL) and added dropwise to the suspension under N2 protection. The mixture was stirred for 5 min, and then o-diiodobenzene 2a (1.5 mmol, 2.5 equiv) was added dropwise over 1 minute. The mixture was then stirred in an oil bath at 40 °C. After the reaction was complete, the reaction solution was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature, and then added dropwise to water (10 mL). The mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate, and the organic phases were combined, washed with saturated NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The isoquinoline product 3 was purified by rapid column chromatography.

[0029] The different reaction substrates, aminoenone 1 and o-diiodobenzene 2, and the corresponding isoquinoline structural product 3, are shown in Tables 1 to 4. The reaction time is 12–18 h under stirring in an oil bath at 40 °C; the yield is the isolated yield. It can be observed that halogenated or polyhalogenated substrates exhibit moderate to high yields. For substrates with electron-withdrawing groups (e.g., OCF3, CF3, CN) and electron-donating groups (e.g., Me, OMe) on the benzene ring, the yield remains good. Furthermore, through the expansion of some substrates, it was found that the steric effect on the benzene ring has little impact on the reaction. Most aliphatic hydrocarbon substrates show moderate to high yields; in addition to the benzene ring (3al), long-chain alkanes (3am), sterically hindered alkanes (3ao, 3bb), and alkenes (3ap) can all be converted into structurally diverse isoquinoline products using this method. Moreover, commonly used protecting groups TBS and Boc (3aq, 3bc) are also compatible with this system. A series of isoquinoline products with (hetero)cycloalkanes (3ar-3az, 3bd) were synthesized in moderate to high yields, further demonstrating the versatility of this method. Substituted diiodobenzenes can all be readily used to synthesize polysubstituted isoquinoline products. Of particular note is the structural similarity of 3be to the drug mosavelin, providing a concise route for the synthesis of such drugs.

[0099] Synthesis of compound 1a-1ak

[0100] ;

[0101] NaH (40 mmol, 4.0 equiv) was suspended in 20 mL of ethyl acetate, and ketone a (10 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in 20 mL of ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate solution of ketone a was slowly added dropwise to the NaH suspension at 0 °C. The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 12 h. After the reaction was complete, the reaction was quenched by slowly adding 10% NH4Cl aqueous solution in an ice bath, and the pH was adjusted to 5 by adding dilute hydrochloric acid. The mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate, and the organic phases were combined. The organic phases were washed with saturated NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and the filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure. The solvent was evaporated, and the product b was purified by rapid column chromatography in yields of 76%–98%.

[0102] The product b (1.0 equiv) obtained in the previous step was dissolved in 40 mL MeOH, and CH3COONH4 (5.0 equiv) was added. The mixture was refluxed and stirred at 70 °C for 6–7 h. After the reaction solution cooled to room temperature, it was distilled under reduced pressure, the solvent was evaporated to dryness, and appropriate amounts of water and ethyl acetate were added. The mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed with saturated NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and the filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure, the solvent was evaporated to dryness, and the product was purified by rapid column chromatography to obtain products 1a–1ak. Yield: 48%–80%.

[0103] Synthesis of compound 1am-1bd

[0104] ;

[0105] The general procedure for synthesizing substrate 1am-1bd is as follows: NaH (30 mmol, 3.0 equiv) was suspended in 20 mL THF, and p-toluene ketone c (10 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in 20 mL THF. At 0 °C, the THF solution of p-toluene ketone c was slowly added dropwise to the NaH suspension, and the mixture was stirred for approximately 1 h. Then, the ester (20 mmol, 2.0 equiv) was added dropwise at the same temperature, followed by stirring at room temperature for approximately 10 h. After the reaction was complete, the reaction was quenched by slowly adding 10% NH4Cl aqueous solution in an ice bath, and the pH was adjusted to 5 by adding dilute hydrochloric acid. The mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate, and the organic phases were combined. The organic phase was washed with saturated NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and the filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure. The solvent was evaporated to obtain the crude product d.

[0106] The crude product d (1.0 equiv) obtained in the previous step was dissolved in 40 mL MeOH, and CH3COONH4 (5.0 equiv) was added. The mixture was refluxed and stirred at 70 °C for 6–7 h. After the reaction solution cooled to room temperature, it was distilled under reduced pressure, the solvent was evaporated to dryness, and appropriate amounts of water and ethyl acetate were added. The mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase was washed with saturated NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and the filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure, the solvent was evaporated to dryness, and the product 1am-1bd was purified by rapid column chromatography.

[0107] Example 2

[0108] ;

[0109] Standard reaction: At room temperature, NaH (60% in oil, 3.6 mmol, 6.0 equiv) was weighed into a round-bottom flask, and 2 mL of anhydrous THF was added and stirred to suspend it in the solvent. Aminoenone 1a (0.6 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was dissolved in anhydrous THF (2.0 mL) and added dropwise to the suspension under N2 protection. The mixture was stirred for 5 min, and then o-diiodobenzene 2a (1.5 mmol, 2.5 equiv) was added dropwise over 1 minute. The mixture was then stirred in an oil bath at 40 °C for 15 h. After the reaction was complete, the reaction solution was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature, and then added dropwise to water (10 mL). The mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate, and the organic phases were combined, washed with saturated NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The isoquinoline product 3a was purified by rapid column chromatography with a yield of 75%.
