Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fluorine-containing cyclic compound synthesis technology, specifically relating to a geminal difluorocyclopentane compound and its synthesis method. Background Technology

[0002] Introducing fluorine atoms or fluorine-containing functional groups into organic compounds can often alter their physical, chemical, and biological properties. The synthesis of fluorine-containing organic molecules has wide applications in new drug development and drug structure modification. With the increasing demands for green and low-carbon chemistry, developing synthetic methods for fluorine-containing organic compounds that are mild, low-cost, and widely applicable has become an important goal in the field of organic synthesis. Difluoromethylene (CF2) is considered a bioisostere of ether, methylene, carbonyl, phosphinate, and sulfonyl functional groups, which can improve the lipophilicity, binding affinity, and hydrogen bonding ability of compounds, and is widely used in drug design. Introducing difluoromethylene into cyclic hydrocarbons to obtain geminitrofluorocyclic hydrocarbons is an effective method in drug design; however, geminitrofluorocyclic hydrocarbons are difficult to obtain directly from cyclic hydrocarbons through fluorination. Therefore, developing synthetic methods for geminitrofluorocyclic hydrocarbons is a significant challenge in the field of medicinal chemistry.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for synthesizing geminitrofluorocyclic hydrocarbons are as follows:

[0004] 1. The gemini difluorocyclopropane compounds were obtained by cyclization of alkenes with a series of difluorocarbene reagents (Beilstein J. Org. Chem. 2021, 17, 245-272.), as shown below.

[0005]

[0006] The reaction of alkenes with difluorocarbene reagents to produce gem-difluorocyclopropanes can rapidly prepare gem-difluorocyclic hydrocarbons, and the preparation method is relatively simple. However, it is only applicable to the synthesis of gem-difluorocyclopropanes and cannot be applied to the synthesis of other gem-difluorocyclic hydrocarbons.

[0007] 2. Cyclic ketone raw materials are reacted with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) or sulfuromorpholine trifluoride (Morph-DAST) via a deoxyfluorination reaction to prepare geminal difluorocyclic hydrocarbon compounds (ChemMedChem 2022,17,e202200365.), as shown below.

[0008]

[0009] This route can be used to synthesize various geminifluorocyclic hydrocarbons, but its disadvantages are: the use of highly toxic fluorinated reagents is not conducive to simplifying the process; cyclic ketone raw materials are not easy to obtain and it is necessary to prepare cyclic ketone raw materials with the same structure in advance.

[0010] 3. Another method is to prepare gemdifluorocyclopentene or gemdifluorocyclopentane compounds by cyclizing easily synthesized gemdifluorocyclopropene or gemdifluorocyclopropane with an olefin. As shown in reaction (1) below, gemdifluorocyclopropene and an olefin are first added under palladium catalysis to generate alkenyl gemdifluorocyclopropane, which is then cyclized at high temperature to obtain gemdifluorocyclopentene (J.Am.Chem.Soc.2022,144,20875-20883.); in reaction (2) below, gemdifluorocyclopentane is prepared by cycloaddition reaction of gemdifluorocyclopropane with an olefin catalyzed by the transition metal rhodium (Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.2023,62,e202307129.).

[0011]

[0012] In this method, although a series of gemdifluorocyclopentanes or gemdifluorocyclopentenes can be prepared by cyclization reactions of gemdifluorocyclopropanes or gemdifluorocyclopropenes with olefins, it generally requires the use of noble metal catalysts and ligands, and the reaction conditions are relatively complex, which is not conducive to industrial synthesis.

[0013] In summary, the development of a novel synthetic method for geminal difluorocyclopentane compounds is of great significance in addressing the problems of high cost of raw materials and reagents, narrow applicability of the reaction, and complex operation in the synthesis of geminal difluorocycloanes. Summary of the Invention

[0014] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a geminal difluorocyclopentane compound and a method for synthesizing the same. This synthetic method uses readily available raw materials, is simple to operate, has mild reaction conditions, and yields a high product.

[0016] In a first aspect of the invention, a geminitrofluorocyclopentane compound with the following structural formula is provided.

[0026]

[0027] In some embodiments, the synthesis method specifically includes:
