Abstract
Description
A method for synthesizing β-trifluoromethylthioamide involving silver trifluoromethylthiol Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparation technology, specifically relating to a method for synthesizing β-trifluoromethylthioamide involving silver trifluoromethylthiol. Background Technology
[0002] Aromatic amines are extremely important organic raw materials, widely used in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, additives, surfactants, textile auxiliaries, chelating agents, polymers, and flame retardants. Aromatic amines are also important intermediates in organic synthesis, and with the rapid development of my country's industry and economy, the demand for aromatic amines from various related industries will continue to grow.
[0003] The trifluoromethylthio group is a common functional group characterized by high stability, high electronegativity, and strong lipophilicity. Introducing a trifluoromethylthio group into organic compounds can enhance the lipophilicity of the molecule to the cell membrane, thereby improving the absorption and delivery of active ingredients in drugs, and thus achieving therapeutic effects and regulating cellular metabolism. Numerous studies have shown that drugs containing trifluoromethylthio groups penetrate the body better than traditional fluorine-containing drugs and exhibit stronger selectivity for target organs. Therefore, trifluoromethylthio groups are widely used in multi-molecule drugs and bioactive molecular structures. However, current synthetic routes for drugs containing trifluoromethylthio groups are relatively complex, requiring special trifluoromethylthio reagents, high temperatures, and metal catalysis.
[0004] A Chinese invention patent with application number CN201610547078.4 discloses an indanone compound with a trifluoromethylthio group and its preparation method. The patent uses an acetylenone compound and a silver trifluoromethylthioalkyl alcohol compound as raw materials, a persulfate reagent as an oxidant, and hexamethylphosphoric triamine as a stabilizer. The reaction temperature is 80°C, and the reaction is carried out in a reaction solvent for 12 hours. After the reaction is completed, the indanone compound is obtained through post-treatment. This method can directly generate indanone compounds from amide-based heterocyclic compounds. It has the advantages of simple operation, short reaction time, and high reaction stability.
