Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of compound synthesis technology, specifically relating to a methyl thioester derivative, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Methylthioesters are widely found in pharmaceuticals and natural products and have attracted considerable attention due to their unique biological properties. Methylthioesters are typically synthesized via a multi-step process using methanethiol / sodium methylsulfate and acyl compounds. This method utilizes toxic, malodorous, and difficult-to-manage methanethiol / sodium methylsulfate, and is also environmentally unfriendly, severely limiting the industrial production of methylthioesters. In recent years, some new methods have been reported, such as:

[0003] (a) Preparation of methyl thioesters by palladium-catalyzed thiocarbonylation of aryl halides / aryl diazonium salts / amines with 4-methylthio-2-butanone and carbon monoxide (Chem. Sci., 2020, 11, 2187; J. Org. Chem., 2021, 86, 8797).

[0004] (b) Preparation of methyl thioesters by nickel and iridium-catalyzed radical thioesterification of carboxylic acids with dimethyl disulfide (Nat. Synth., 2023, 1).

[0005] However, these methods use toxic gases like carbon monoxide, precious metals like palladium or nickel and iridium, and require sulfur precursors such as 4-methylthio-2-butanone or dimethyl disulfide, as well as transition metal catalysts that are difficult to handle. Therefore, developing a green, simple, low-cost, and efficient method for preparing methyl thioesters is essential. Summary of the Invention

[0020] (2) After the reaction is complete, the substance obtained after the reaction is extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The organic layer is washed with water twice in sequence. The washed organic layer is dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered to obtain the filtrate.

[0021] (3) The filtrate obtained by vacuum concentration is then purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain methyl thioester derivatives.

[0022] The reduced pressure concentration is achieved by rotary evaporation.

[0023] The carboxylic acid described in this invention can be any of the aromatic carboxylic acids.

[0024] The ratio of carboxylic acid, dimethyl sulfoxide and potassium fluoride in this invention is: n(carboxylic acid):V(DMSO):n(KF)=0.3mmol:2mL:0.06mmol.
