Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of drug synthesis, and in particular to a method for preparing alkenylsulfenyl imine. Background Art

[0002] Sulfenyl imine compounds are bioisosteres of sulfonamide and sulfone groups. Due to the introduction of a mildly basic nitrogen atom on the sulfur, they are very stable in chemical structure and spatial configuration. In addition, sulfenyl imines have unique hydrogen donating / accepting capabilities: the sulfur-hetero-double bond connected to the sulfur is a hydrogen bond acceptor, and the nitrogen on the sulfur-nitrogen double bond, if unsubstituted, is a good hydrogen bond donor. Sulfenyl imines have better solubility in protic solvents than the corresponding sulfones. These properties indicate that sulfenyl imines, as small, hydrophilic, and stable functional groups in drug development, have great medicinal potential. Therefore, developing efficient and convenient methods to enrich the sulfenyl imine compound library will help accelerate the drug development rate of this type of compound. Among them, alkenyl-substituted sulfenyl imines are an important component of this type of structure. Currently, there are several main methods for their synthesis:

[0003] The literature Eur. J. Org. Chem., 2000, 3973-4009 reports a method in which a pre-prepared N-methyl-substituted methyl arylsulfenyl imine is subjected to hydrogen extraction with n-butyl lithium under ultra-low temperature conditions and then reacts with the corresponding alkyl aldehyde to produce a β-hydroxy-substituted sulfenyl imine. Subsequently, a protecting group and a base are added to undergo an elimination reaction to produce an alkenylsulfenyl imine:

[0004]

[0005] This two-step method for synthesizing olefin sulfenyl imines has the following disadvantages: (1) The synthetic route is long, requiring two steps, and the starting materials are not easily available. (2) The N-methyl group on the final product is difficult to remove, which increases the difficulty of subsequent N-functionalization reactions and limits the subsequent structural modification of this type of compound.

[0006] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, Nat. Commun., 2023, 14, 5168-5178 used fluorinated sulfenyl imine as a substrate to generate thiol radicals under light, which then attacked olefins to generate free radical addition, and then eliminated them to return to the olefin structure:

[0007]

[0008] Although this photocatalytic synthesis method for alkenylsulfenyl imines can shorten the reaction steps to one step and the N-protecting group is also easy to remove, the synthesis of the substrate requires the use of dangerous and highly toxic tert-butyl hypochlorite and potassium bifluoride. In addition, the core step also requires the use of expensive photosensitizers, which is relatively costly.

[0009] Based on the above research background, it is of great research significance to develop a safer, greener, more efficient, low-cost and shorter method to prepare alkenylsulfenyl imines. Summary of the Invention
