Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of CH bond activation technology, specifically relating to a method for the selective synthesis of 2-acylaminoquinoline-N-oxide compounds based on tetraacetonitrile copper hexafluorophosphate and silver acetate catalysis of quinoline-N-oxide compounds. Background Technology
[0002] Quinoline derivatives are important starting materials and intermediates in the chemical industry, widely used to synthesize a variety of chemical products, including dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. The synthesis of quinolines, in particular, plays a crucial role in medicinal chemistry and organic synthetic chemistry, as seen in the production of cinchonidine and cinchona alkaloids. Furthermore, the microbial and anticancer activities of 2-acylquinoline-N-oxides have been reported (Antibiotics & Chemotherapy (Northfield, Ill.), 1956, 6, 261-267; J. Org. Chem., 1961, 26, 2831-2833). Therefore, it is essential to develop efficient methods for the synthesis of 2-acylquinolines and their derivatives through simple and direct CH bond activation.
[0003] In 2013, Li Gang's research group reported a system using copper acetate as a catalyst, silver carbonate as an oxidant, and lactam as a nitrogen source to activate the CH bond of quinoline-N-oxides, thereby synthesizing various derivatives of 2-aminoquinoline-N-oxides. This method has a low catalyst loading and good functional group compatibility. Furthermore, this catalytic system can also achieve the reaction of cyclohexylamine and cyclopentylamine (Org. Lett., 2013, 15, 5198-5201).
[0004] In 2014, Cui Xiuling's research group reported the synthesis of 2-aminoquinoline-N-oxide and its derivatives by activating the CH bond of quinoline-N-oxide under mild conditions using 10 mol% CuI as a catalyst, air as an oxidant, and cyclic amines and common secondary amines as nitrogen sources (Org. Lett., 2014, 16, 1840-1843).
[0005] In 2017, Samanta's research group used CuI as a catalyst to achieve the desired effect. 2 Using nitrogen as a nitrogen source, the CH bond of quinoline-N-oxide was activated, marking the first successful synthesis of 2-arylaminoquinoline-N-oxide. This reaction exhibits excellent versatility and atom economy. Furthermore, this project has led to the synthesis of a series of compounds with highly conjugated systems using this method (J. Org. Chem., 2017, 82, 8933-8942).
[0006] The above methods are subject to substrate limitations, only allowing the synthesis of tertiary and aromatic amines, and not secondary or primary amines. Furthermore, they suffer from drawbacks such as long reaction times, high reaction temperatures, stringent conditions, and complex operations, leading to environmental pollution and economic costs, particularly severe in large-scale industrial production. Therefore, developing a mild and efficient strategy for the preparation of 2-acylaminoquinoline-N-oxides is of significant scientific research importance. Summary of the Invention
