Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic chemical synthesis technology, and relates to quinazoline derivatives, specifically a method for synthesizing quinazoline derivatives using a manganese-based catalyst. Background Technology
[0002] Quinazoline derivatives are a class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds widely found in natural products and other functional molecules. They possess important biological and pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimalarial, anticonvulsant, antituberculosis, antihypertensive, anticancer, antiviral, and herbicidal activities.
[0003] Existing methods for synthesizing quinazoline derivatives include: (1) using anthranilic acid as a raw material, reacting with formamide to form a cyclization ring to prepare a quinazoline ring; reacting with acid anhydrides and fatty amines to generate a quinazoline ring; cyclizing with thiocyanates to generate a quinazoline ring; (2) using anthranilic acid as a raw material, reacting with aldehydes under I2 / KI catalysis to prepare quinazoline compounds; cyclizing with diethyl oxalate to prepare quinazoline ketone compounds, but this method has a low yield; (3) using anthranilic acid ester as a raw material, reacting with guanidine or guanidine hydrochloride to form a cyclization ring to prepare quinazoline ketone compounds; reacting with isothiocyanate to form a cyclization ring to generate a quinazoline ring compound; (4) using anthranilic acid benzonitrile as a raw material, reacting with aminoguanidine or cyanoguanidine to form a cyclization ring to obtain quinazoline compounds. Compounds; react with carbon dioxide or formic acid to form a ring and prepare quinazoline compounds. This method has a narrow substrate range. (5) Using o-aminobenzophenone as a raw material, react with aldehydes and ammonium acetate to prepare quinazoline compounds. This method requires the raw material to have an electron-withdrawing group, and the structure is complex and difficult to prepare. React with benzylamine, with graphite oxide as a catalyst, and prepare quinazoline compounds under heating conditions. (6) Using o-aminobenzyl alcohol as a raw material, under the action of copper / cerium dual catalyst, react with aryl aldehydes in the presence of ammonium source, oxidant, and base to prepare quinazoline compounds. (7) Using o-aminobenzylamine as a raw material, under the action of iridium catalyst, react with aryl aldehydes to form a cyclization-dehydrogenation reaction to prepare quinazoline compounds. Under the action of visible light, Eosin Y is used as a photocatalyst to prepare quinazoline heterocyclic compounds by oxidation-cyclization-oxidation tandem reaction with alcohols; quinazoline heterocyclic compounds are prepared by reaction with aryl aldehydes and ammonium compounds in the presence of ligands, bases, and TEMPO under the action of copper / iron dual catalysts; quinazoline heterocyclic compounds are prepared by reaction with aryl nitriles using copper cinnamate as a catalyst; (8) quinazoline derivatives are obtained by cross-coupling of benzaldehyde with N-arylsulfonyloxyphthalimide under the action of ruthenium catalyst and ammonia reaction of the obtained intermediate with ammonia reagent; (9) quinazoline compounds are obtained by dehydrogenation reaction of tetrahydroquinazoline compounds under the action of copper catalyst, ligands and additives; (10) quinazoline derivatives are prepared by one-pot reaction using isonitriles, azides and amine derivatives as reaction raw materials.
[0004] Despite the development of various synthetic strategies, the aforementioned methods still suffer from numerous drawbacks, such as the need for expensive transition metal catalysts (Ir, Ru, Pd), ligands, and auxiliaries; difficulty in preparing reactants; the requirement for high temperatures or strong bases in the reaction conditions; long synthetic routes; limited substrate availability; and the need for large amounts of oxidants and condensing reagents, which does not meet the requirements of green and environmentally friendly practices.
