Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic chemistry technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing C3-alkyl-substituted quinoxalonone compounds under heterogeneous photocatalysis. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are not only widely found in natural products and drug molecules, but compounds containing this core structure are also widely used in medicine, pesticides, and industrial dyes. Among them, quinoxaline-2(1 H )-ketones are extensively studied by chemists as extremely important drug skeletons. Among them, quinoxaline-2(1) modified by C3 is particularly important. H )-Ketones can modulate the biological activity of quinoxalinones, including their role as in vitro antibacterial and antitumor agents, caroverine, antibacterial agents, and VEGFR-2 kinase inhibitors. For example, caroverine, as a class B calcium channel blocker and antiglutamate drug, has significant effects on brain function (Yoshihisa Kudo & Shoji Shibata, Br. J. Pharmac. 1984, 83 , 813-820 Kinin B1 can treat inflammation and pain caused by sepsis (JJ Chen, W. Qian, K. Biswas, VNViswanadhan, BC Askew, S. Hitchcock, RW Hungate, L. Arik and E. Johnson). Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. , 2008, 18 , 4477), while GW420867X is a non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitor (LM Cass, KHP Moore, NS Dallow, AE Jones, JR Sisson and WT Prince, J. Clin. Pharmacol. , 2001, 41 , 528).
[0003] Due to quinoxaline-2(1 H )-Ketones possess these broad biological activities and potential applications, and chemists continue to strive to develop compounds based on quinoxaline-2(1) H Novel structures of quinoxaline-2(1-ketone skeletons and synthetic methods for their derivatives. Recently, in 2021, Professor Sun Peipei's research group reported a method for synthesizing quinoxaline-2(1-ketone skeletons) directly from α-amino acids. H) ketone (Yifan Li, Changhui Dai, Shentong Xie, Ping Liu, and Peipei Sun, Org. Lett. 2021, 23 , 5906−5910). Meanwhile, Sudipta Raha Roy accomplished the decarboxylative alkylation of quinoxaline-2(1 H )-ketone using cerium trichloride via photoinduced photocatalytic cleavage (Swati Singh, Neha Dagar, and Sudipta Raha Roy, Chem. Commun. , 2022, 58, 3831-3834 ). Although the alkylation, arylation, acylation, phosphonation, amination and trifluoromethylation of quinoxaline-2(1 H )-ketone at C3 position using homogeneous photocatalysts have been reported, there are still many limitations, such as expensive transition metal catalysts, high temperature and peroxides. There is no report on the alkylation of quinoxaline-2(1 H )-ketone at C3 position mediated by green non-toxic recyclable heterogeneous photocatalysts.
[0004] Based on this, the present application provides a new technology for efficiently and greenly synthesizing C3-alkylated quinoxaline-2(1 H )-ketone derivatives by using heterogeneous photocatalyst graphite phase carbon nitride to avoid the use of metal catalysts polluting the environment, and using carboxylic acid oxidation decarboxylation as a radical source under room temperature illumination. This method avoids high temperature and other complex operations, reduces reaction cost and energy consumption, and achieves the purpose of green chemical synthesis. SUMMARY
