Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis and relates to a method for synthesizing N-trifluoromethylsulfonamide compounds. Background Art

[0002] The trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) is a highly oxidizing, electron-withdrawing, and highly Hansch-indexed organic fluorine building block. Its introduction into drug molecules can significantly alter their physical and chemical properties, including increasing their lipophilicity, Caco-2 permeability, metabolic stability, and bioavailability. In recent years, trifluoromethyl-containing drugs have seen rapid development, with significant effects in anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-psychotic activities (as shown below). Their potential therapeutic benefits are also garnering increasing attention.

[0003]

[0004] Sulfonamide antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs are a class of drugs with the structure of p-aminobenzenesulfonamide. They are chemotherapeutic agents used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. They have a broad antimicrobial spectrum, inhibiting most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In 1932, Domagk discovered that Prontosil could treat staphylococcal sepsis, sparking research on sulfonamides. Sulfamethoxazole, a sulfonamide introduced in 1962, has a half-life of 11 hours and strong antibacterial activity. Combining it with the potentiator trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole significantly enhances its antibacterial efficacy, increasing it several to dozens of times. It is clinically used to treat tonsillitis, acute bronchitis, lung infections, urinary tract infections, suppurative skin infections, bacillary dysentery, and typhoid fever. Sulfonamides also play a significant role in livestock farming (e.g., pigs, chickens, and fish).

[0005] At present, the application of trifluoromethyl in drugs is mostly reflected in the construction of C-CF3 bonds on benzene rings, while the introduction of CF3 groups on other heteroatoms is relatively rare. Reports mainly show the construction of CF3 bonds on atoms such as O and S, which greatly limits the application of CF3 groups in drugs.

[0006] Reference 1 (Scattolin T., Bouayad-Gervais S., Schoenebeck F. Straightforward access to N-trifluoromethyl amides, carbamates, thiocarbamates and ureas [J]. Nature, 2019, 573 (7772): 102-107.) proposed a method for the direct synthesis of N-trifluoromethylamide. Using isothiocyanate as the reaction substrate, silver fluoride and triphosgene were used to synthesize a series of N-trifluoromethylacyl fluoride compounds, and then a series of compounds containing N-trifluoromethylamide were obtained using Grignard reagents. This has gradually aroused people's interest in the construction of N-CF3 bonds on amides and their derivatives or similar structures.

[0007]

[0008] Reference 2 (Liu J., Parker M., Wang S., et al. Synthesis of N-trifluoromethylamides from carboxylic acids [J]. Chem, 2021, 7: 2245–2255.) proposes a simpler method for the direct synthesis of N-trifluoromethylamide. Isothiocyanate is used as the reaction substrate and carboxylic acid halide (or carboxylate derivative) is used as the carbonyl source. N-trifluoromethylamide is synthesized in the next step under the action of silver fluoride and pyridine (or 2,4,6-pyridine). The reaction is simple and widely applicable, further enriching the method of synthesizing the N-CF3 bond in the amide structure.

[0009]

[0010] Experimental results show that N-trifluoromethylated amides are more stable than amides themselves or N-methylamides. As a structural analog of amides, N-trifluoromethylsulfonamides may also possess high stability. However, reports on the synthesis of related N-trifluoromethylsulfonamides are relatively rare. Summary of the Invention
