Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, specifically relating to a method for preparing 3-hydroxy-2-indolone from o-iodoaryl α-ketoamides via intramolecular cyclization. Background Technology
[0002] 3-Hydroxy-2-indolinones are the core structure of many drugs and natural products, exhibiting a wide range of biological activities. Representative compounds include Convolutamydine A, Maremycin B, donaxaridine, 3-hydroxywelwit-indolinones, TMC-95A, and SM-130686.
[0003]
[0004] In addition, 3-hydroxy-2-indolone is also an important intermediate in organic synthesis. For example, 3-hydroxy-2-indolone can be used to efficiently synthesize 3,3-disubstituted-2-indolone by in-situ activation of 3-hydroxy-2-indolone in the form of trichloroacetonitrile via an acid-catalyzed substitution reaction.
[0005]
[0006] For example, 3,3-disubstituted-2-indolone can be synthesized by reacting 3-hydroxy-2-indolone with various aromatic and heteroaromatic hydrocarbons via a Friedel-Craft reaction catalyzed by Hg(ClO4)2·3H2O.
[0007]
[0008] Existing synthetic methods for 3-hydroxy-2-indolone include: reacting indigo with Grignard reagents, lithium reagents, etc.; or using α-ketoaniline as a starting material, and activating the intramolecular aryl trifluoro ester (or other halogen) with palladium catalysis in the presence of phosphate, ligands, and triethylamine to achieve the addition cyclization of the intramolecular ketone group. However, palladium catalysts are expensive, and the reaction temperature and reaction time are high, reducing the practical value of these methods.
[0009]
[0010] In summary, existing methods for synthesizing 3-hydroxy-2-indolones either require highly reactive reagents and harsh reaction conditions, or rely on expensive metal catalysis, resulting in high costs and the risk of heavy metal residues in the products. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new method that can prepare 3-hydroxy-2-indolone compounds from simple raw materials using inexpensive initiating reagents under milder conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0011] This invention discloses a method for synthesizing 3-hydroxy-2-indolone compounds from o-iodoaryl α-ketoamides, using a commercially available 60% NaH mineral oil dispersion as the initiator. The method is simple to operate, operates under mild conditions, does not require transition metal catalysis or strictly anhydrous conditions, and is easy to scale up. This method employs a novel approach, activating the nucleophilic activity of NaH to initiate Na-I exchange and intramolecularly attack the ketone carbonyl group, ultimately yielding the cyclized product 3-hydroxy-2-indolone. This invention solves the problems of harsh conditions, high reagent costs, and heavy metal residues associated with traditional methods for preparing such products.
[0012] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0013] A method for preparing a 3-hydroxy-2-indolone compound includes the following steps: reacting an o-iodoaryl α-ketoamide in a solvent in the presence of sodium hydride to obtain the 3-hydroxy-2-indolone compound.
[0014] In this invention, the molar ratio of o-iodoaryl α-ketoamide and sodium hydride is 1:(2-5), preferably 1:3.
[0015] In this invention, the reaction temperature is 40–120°C and the reaction time is 2–48 hours; preferably, the reaction temperature is 80–100°C and the reaction time is 10–15 hours.
[0016] In this invention, the solvent is tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane, preferably 1,4-dioxane.
[0017] In this invention, the chemical structural formula of the o-iodoaryl α-ketoamide is as follows:
[0018]
[0019] The chemical structural formula of the product, 3-hydroxy-2-indolone, is as follows:
[0020]
[0021] Where Ar is a benzene ring or heterocycle, such as a pyridine ring; R is a substituted phenyl or aromatic heterocycle, tert-butyl, cyclopropyl, etc.; R 1 Halogen, tert-butyl, methoxy, trifluoromethyl, etc.; R 2 It includes various straight-chain alkanes, branched-chain alkanes, and cycloalkanes, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isobutyl, n-pentyl, cyclobutyl, and cyclopentyl.
[0022] Existing technologies use ortho-halo (or OTf) aryl α-ketoamides as raw materials, utilizing transition metal catalysis to preferentially attack the ketone carbonyl group, followed by an intramolecular reaction to synthesize 3-hydroxy-2-indolone compounds. However, these catalysts are expensive and the reaction conditions are demanding. This invention discloses for the first time a novel approach using sodium hydride as an activator, employing a Na-I exchange reaction and intramolecular addition to the ketone carbonyl group to obtain 3-hydroxy-2-indolone compounds. The method of this invention is carried out under relatively mild reaction conditions, is simple to operate, and does not require any transition metal catalysis or strictly anhydrous conditions. Such transformations are difficult to achieve using traditional methods such as Grignard reagents, alkyllithium, and aminolithium. Therefore, this invention provides a novel method that enables the preparation of 3-hydroxy-2-indolone compounds from simple raw materials using inexpensive initiating reagents under relatively mild conditions. Detailed Implementation
[0023] This invention uses o-iodoaryl α-ketoamides as raw materials and reacts them in a solvent in the presence of sodium hydride, a basic metal hydride, to obtain 3-hydroxy-2-indolone compounds without the need for Grignard reagents, metals, or metal compound catalysts. Specifically, NaH is weighed into a sealed tube, anhydrous 1,4-dioxane is added, and under stirring, a solution of o-iodoaryl α-ketoamides in 1,4-dioxane is added. Nitrogen gas is introduced into the sealed tube, and the reaction is carried out at 90 °C for 12 h to obtain 3-hydroxy-2-indolone derivatives.

[0059] This invention discloses a method for activating o-iodoaryl α-ketoamides with NaH. By guiding a Na-I exchange reaction between NaH and iodine, an intramolecular reaction is achieved, synthesizing 3-hydroxy-2-indolone derivatives. This invention has broad substrate applicability. Compared with traditional methods, this method can achieve metal-halogen exchange reactions that cannot be achieved with traditional strong bases in the presence of ketone carbonyl groups, completing intramolecular cyclization reactions. Furthermore, the operation is simple, the reaction conditions are mild, and no transition metal catalysis or strictly anhydrous conditions are required. This mode of synthesizing 3-hydroxy-2-indolones through the reaction of o-iodoaryl α-ketoamides and sodium hydride provides a new method for the synthesis of such substances and has broad application prospects.
