Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalytic synthesis technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing indole oxide compounds. Background Technology

[0002] Oxyindoles are widely found in various organic frameworks, including natural products, bioactive molecules, and drug molecules. Examples include anticancer drugs, tumor suppressor p53, and N-channel antagonists. Their structures are shown below. Given the wide range of biological activities and rich synthetic applications of oxidindole compounds, the construction of this framework has become an important goal in synthetic organic chemistry.

[0003] Cyclolation reactions are a widely used strategy for constructing oxidized indole skeletons. However, traditional methods often require the use of ortho-functionalized aryl groups and 2-substituted activated anilines. These transformations not only complicate substrate preparation but also severely limit the synthetic range. In recent years, the synthesis of 3-substituted oxyglycosides from N-arylacrylamides via radical addition reactions has attracted attention. Currently, the application of these methods requires expensive transition metal catalysts (Pd, Rh, and Ir, etc.) or the pre-preparation of complex metal catalysts, high temperatures, and highly toxic radical initiators. These drawbacks limit the widespread application of these schemes. Therefore, the preparation of oxidized indole derivatives using green, efficient, low-cost, mild, inexpensive, and commercially available metal methods is a crucial problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to address the problems of high energy consumption, high cost, and harsh reaction conditions in existing synthesis methods, and provides a method for preparing oxidized indole compounds.

[0005] This invention utilizes photocatalysis to decarbonate heteroarylcarboxylic acids through a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) process using a catalytic amount of photocatalyst Fe(acac)3, generating heteroaryl radicals. These heteroaryl radicals then undergo radical addition reactions with N-arylacrylamide compounds, leading to cyclization and ultimately achieving the efficient preparation of oxidized indole compounds.

[0006] A method for preparing an indole oxide compound, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0007] 1. Under a nitrogen atmosphere and at room temperature, heteroarylformic acid compounds, N-arylacrylamide compounds, DABCO, K2S2O8 and Fe(acac)3 were sequentially added to an ultra-dry solvent to obtain a mixed solution;

[0008] 2. The mixed solution is irradiated with an LED light source, then extracted, and the solvent is removed by rotary evaporation. The solution is then separated and purified by thin-layer chromatography. The resulting product is an indole oxide compound, thus completing the preparation.

[0009] The general reaction formula of this invention is as follows:

[0010]

[0011] The preparation reaction formula for N-methyl-N-phenylmethylacrylamide is as follows:

[0012]

[0013] The preparation method of N-methyl-N-phenylmethylacrylamide is as follows:

[0014] Add the corresponding aniline S1 (2.0 mmol), DCM (15 mL), and triethylamine (4.0 mmol, 2.0 equiv) to a 50 mL round-bottom flask; stir the mixture at 0 °C, and slowly add methacryloyl chloride S2 (3.0 mmol, 1.5 equiv) under an argon atmosphere; stir the resulting solution at room temperature for 12 hours, quench the reaction with water (50 mL), and extract with DCM (15 mL × 3); wash the organic layer with saturated brine (15 mL × 3), dry the organic layer with sodium sulfate, and then concentrate under reduced pressure; separate and purify by thin-layer chromatography using petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (15:1 to 10:1, v / v) as eluent to obtain the corresponding substrate 2a.

[0015] Taking oxidized indole compound 1c as an example, the reaction mechanism of this invention is as follows:

[0016]

[0017] Initially, 2-pyridinecarboxylic acid 1a reacted with Fe... 3+ A complexation process occurs, followed by further decarbonylation via the LMCT process under light to obtain pyridyl radical intermediate II. Pyridyl radical intermediate II undergoes a radical addition reaction with N-methyl-N-phenylmethylacrylamide 2a to obtain radical intermediate III. This radical intermediate further undergoes cyclization to obtain intermediate IV, which is then converted into intermediate V under the action of an oxidant. Intermediate V is deprotonated under the action of the base DABCO to generate the final product 1c.

[0018] Beneficial effects of this invention:

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides a simple, green, and efficient method for constructing indole oxide compounds, and has the following main advantages:

[0020] (1) The reaction system can achieve the synthesis of challenging indole oxides under room temperature and inert gas atmosphere by irradiation with 390±10nm LEDs light source, and the reaction conditions are mild.

[0021] (2) The heteroarylformic acid compounds, N-arylacrylamide compounds, DABCO, K2S2O8, Fe(acac)3 and dimethyl sulfoxide used as solvents in this catalytic system are all simple, inexpensive and readily available commercial compounds. The iron salt photocatalyst used is also relatively inexpensive. The reaction substrate has good universality, and the whole reaction system shows the green nature of organic synthesis chemistry.

[0022] (3) Gram-scale reactions can be achieved at room temperature by light irradiation, and the yield is good, which shows high efficiency; and the use of a catalytic amount of photocatalyst shows that the reaction is economical and environmentally friendly, and has potential commercial application value.

[0023] This invention is used for the preparation of oxidized indole compounds. Attached Figure Description
