Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of preparation of carboxylic acids and their derivatives, specifically relating to an N-phenylindigo-mediated ketone-carboxylic acid conversion reaction method. Background Technology

[0002] 2,3-Diketone indole (isatin) is an excellent oxidized indole, and has received particular attention as a core group in many pharmacologically active compounds. Precise decoration of the indigo framework leads to various privileged molecules, which are being studied as anti-allergic, antimalarial, antibacterial, anti-HIV, and potential antitumor drugs. Furthermore, indigo compounds are important frameworks for drug design, functional materials, and dye development. Due to the synthetic applications of isotines, developing efficient methods for synthesizing these compounds has become a prominent research area.

[0003] Carboxylic acids are an important functional group in organic chemistry and biology, playing a crucial role as a multifunctional building block in the synthesis of natural products, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, polymers, and dyes. In recent decades, chemists have reported numerous methods for preparing carboxylic acids, the most classic being the haloform reaction. As one of the oldest known organic reactions, the haloform reaction produces haloforms under basic conditions and attaches a halogen atom to the methyl group attached to the carbonyl group under acidic conditions. In organic chemistry, it can be used to convert methyl ketones into the corresponding carboxylic acids. Oxidative cleavage of alkenes or alkynes is also one of the fundamental reactions in organic synthesis for constructing carboxylic acids and their derivatives. This usually requires strong oxidants such as potassium permanganate or catalysis using a combination of a suitable oxidant and a metal; however, the reaction conditions are demanding and limit the range of substrates. Oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes is also a commonly used method for synthesizing carboxylic acids and their derivatives. Besides the above methods, conventional synthetic routes for preparing carboxylic acids include the hydrolysis of acyl derivatives, such as acyl halides, acid anhydrides, esters, and amides; and the synthesis of carboxylic acids using carbon dioxide as a carbon source. Despite these advances, these strategies often rely on excessive oxidants, heavy metals, and harsh conditions (e.g., strong oxidants, high temperatures, and the generation of toxic waste), which limits the range of substrates suitable for synthetic purposes. Therefore, the preparation of carboxylic acids and their derivatives under transition metal-free and non-oxidizing conditions presents an attractive yet challenging route. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of previous methods, such as the need for excessive oxidants, high temperatures, and precious metal catalysis, and provides an N-phenylindigo-mediated ketone-carboxylic acid conversion method. Using indigo-containing skeleton compounds and ketone organics as substrates, and with the action of catalysts such as TfOH and solvents such as cyclohexane, the ketone-carboxylic acid conversion can be efficiently achieved under mild conditions through N-phenylindigo-mediated conversion. This conversion provides a good strategy for synthesizing various active functional molecules containing indigo skeletons and various steroid skeletons.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for N-phenylindigo-mediated ketone-carboxylic acid conversion involves mixing an indigo-containing skeleton compound and a ketone organic compound, adding a catalyst and solvent, and reacting at 80-100℃ for 12-24 hours to obtain the carboxylic acid organic compound. The reaction process is as follows:

[0007] Furthermore, the indigo skeleton compound can be one of indigo, N-phenylindigo, N-methylindigo, 5-fluoroindigo, 5-methylindigo, 7-methoxyindigo, 4-chloroindigo, 6-chloroindigo, 5,6-dichloroindigo, 5-nitroindigo, and 5,7-dimethylindigo. For example:

[0008] Furthermore, the ketone organic compound is one of aryl ketones, alkyl ketones, or cyclic ketones.

[0009] Furthermore, the ketone organic compound is one of the following: phenylbutanone, 4-methylphenylacetone, 4-ethylphenylacetone, 4-methoxyphenylacetone, 4-benzyloxyphenylacetone, 3-chlorophenylacetone, 4-chlorophenylacetone, 4-trifluoromethylphenylacetone, 4-fluorophenylacetone, 4-hydroxyphenylacetone, 3-nitrophenylacetone, 4-aminophenylacetone, 3-pyridylethyl ketone, 1-(naphthyl-2-yl)prop-1-one, 1-cyclopentyl-prop-1-one, 5-methyl-3-heptanone, 1-tetrahydronaphthone, 2-phenylcyclohexanone, cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, and cycloheptanone.

[0010] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the indigo-containing skeleton compound to the ketone organic compound is 1:1.2-1.5.

[0011] Furthermore, the catalyst is one of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, aluminum trichloride, cesium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and triethylenediamine.

[0012] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the catalyst to the indigo-containing skeleton compound is 0.8-5.

[0013] Furthermore, the solvent is one of cyclohexane, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, chloroform, 1,4-dioxane, n-heptane, and dodecane.

[0014] Furthermore, the concentration of the solvent is 0.2-0.3 mol / L.

[0015] Furthermore, the reaction was carried out at 80°C for 16 minutes.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. This invention uses compounds containing indigo skeletons and ketone organics as reaction substrates, TfOH as a catalyst, and cyclohexane or DCE as a solvent to construct carboxylic acid groups and active complex functional molecules containing indigo skeletons in a one-step reaction.

[0018] 2. The conversion method of this invention uses inexpensive and readily available raw materials, has a wide substrate range, high atom utilization, simple post-processing, and is green and pollution-free. Under mild reaction conditions, it can efficiently convert ketone organic compounds into carboxylic acids and their derivatives without the need for oxidants. Carboxylic acid derivatives and indigo skeleton compounds have great potential application value in the pharmaceutical field. Thirty carboxylic acid derivatives were synthesized using aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl ketone compounds as starting materials; twelve active complex functional molecules containing an indigo basic skeleton were synthesized using cyclic ketone compounds as starting materials; and active complex functional molecules containing indigo and steroid skeletons were synthesized using 5α-Pregnane-3,20-dione as starting materials, providing a good strategy for subsequent research. Good yields were achieved regardless of the electronic properties of the substituents, and the method exhibits good functional group tolerance and substrate tolerance. Characterization of the synthesized compounds by 1H NMR, 1C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry showed that the obtained compounds were correct. Detailed Implementation

[0022]

[0023]

[0024] Example 1

[0025] This embodiment provides an N-phenylindigo-mediated ketone-carboxylic acid conversion reaction method.

[0026]

[0027] N-Phenylacetin 1 (0.5 mmol, 1.0 eq), phenylbutanone 2 (0.6 mmol, 1.2 eq), and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (0.75 mmol, 1.5 eq) were added to a sealed reaction tube containing 2.0 mL of cyclohexane. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80 °C for 16 h. Then, 30.0 mL of saturated NaHCO3 was added to quench the reaction. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 30.0 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, followed by solvent removal using a rotary evaporator. The residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (petroleum ether / ethyl acetate = 4:1) to give compound 3. The aqueous phase was adjusted to pH 1 with 1 M HCl, extracted with EtOAc (3 × 30.0 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, followed by solvent removal using a rotary evaporator. The residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (petroleum ether / ethyl acetate = 2:1) to give compound 4.

[0028] Example 2-Example 21

[0029] The difference from Example 1 is that the catalyst, solvent, reaction temperature, and reaction time were carried out according to Table 1, while other steps were the same. This was to investigate the effects of different catalysts, solvents, and process parameters on the conversion of ketones to carboxylic acids.

[0030] Table 2

[0031]

[0032] Table 2 shows that TfOH, as a catalyst, achieved a product yield as high as 88%; however, using CF3COOH instead of TsOH as a catalyst did not significantly improve the yield; and neither strong inorganic acid salts nor strong bases were used as catalysts to obtain the target compound. These results further demonstrate the decisive role of acid catalysts in the reaction pathway. After studying the solvent effect, the results with other solvents were not superior to those with cyclohexane. The study of the solvent effect showed that alkane solvents were significantly better than other solvents, such as acetonitrile and 1,4-dioxane, in promoting the reaction. When the reaction time was reduced to 16 h, the product yield increased to 94%; however, when the reaction time was extended to 48 h, the yield decreased. When considering the effect of reaction temperature on the reaction yield, it was found that both decreasing and increasing the temperature reduced the yield, and the reaction did not occur at room temperature. Therefore, the optimal temperature for this reaction was determined to be 80℃. To significantly improve the reaction yield, we further evaluated the loading of the catalyst TfOH, adjusting the amount of TfOH to 1.0 eq, 1.2 eq, and 2.0 eq, respectively. We found that the maximum yield was still achieved at 1.5 eq. The effect of different substitutions of indigo at different positions on the reaction was also investigated.

[0033]

[0034] aReactionconditions:TheIsatin1(0.5mmol,1.0eq), Butyrophenone2a(0.6mmol,1.2eq)andTfOH(0.75mmol,1.5eq)was

[0035] addedto2.0mLCyclohexanesealedreactiontubecontaining,thereactionmixturewasstirredat80℃for16h.

[0036] In summary, we determined the optimal conditions as follows: using TfOH (1.5 equiv) as the catalyst, N-phenylindigo at a concentration of (0.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv), phenylbutanone at a concentration of (0.6 mmol, 1.5 equiv), cyclohexane as the solvent, a reaction concentration of 0.25 M, and continuous reaction at 80 °C for 16 hours. Substrate expansion was then conducted under these optimal conditions to explore the applicability of this method.

[0037]

[0038] Under determined optimal conditions, the substrate applicability of aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl ketones was explored. A series of corresponding products were successfully obtained. Substrates containing both electron-deficient and electron-rich groups reacted well with 4. Various electron-donating groups, such as methyl (4b), ethyl (4c), tert-butyl (4d), and methoxy (4e), showed good tolerance and provided the desired products in yields ranging from 74% to 89%. Furthermore, steric hindrance had almost no effect on the reaction results (4f, yield 87%). Arylacetones with electron-withdrawing groups (F, Cl, and Br) also underwent successful conversion, providing the desired products in moderate to high yields (4g–4i), ranging from 93% to 98%. Encouragingly, a series of disubstituted substrates on the benzene ring worked well, providing opportunities for subsequent conversions (4j–4k) in yields of 83% and 85%, respectively. Surprisingly, arylacetones with strong electron-withdrawing groups (CF3) (4l-4m) also work well, with yields of 73% and 52%, respectively. Encouragingly, arylacetones substituted with hydroxyl (4n), nitro (4o), methylthio (4p), and amino (4q) groups exhibit good functional group tolerance, with yields ranging from 64% to 81%. Notably, arylacetones containing naphthalene ring structures (4r) or biphenyl structures (4s) react successfully with 1, with yields of 86% and 61%, respectively. Furthermore, heteroaryl-substituted arylacetones are also compatible in this scheme, providing the corresponding products (4t-4u) with yields of 71% and 66%, respectively. Various types of alkyl ketones readily react with N-phenylindigo to give the corresponding carboxylic acid products 4 in moderate to high yields (4v-4ad), ranging from 41% to 82%.

[0039] Example 22

[0040] Using 0.5 mmol N-phenylindigo and 0.6 mmol cyclohexanone as reaction substrates, TfOH (1.5 equiv) as catalyst, and cyclohexane as solvent (reaction concentration 0.25 M), the reaction was carried out continuously at 80 °C for 16 h to explore the reaction conditions of cyclic ketones.

[0041]

[0042] 1-Phenylacetin 1 (0.5 mmol, 1.0 eq), cyclohexanone 5 (0.6 mmol, 1.2 eq), and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (2.5 mmol, 5.0 eq) were added to a sealed reaction tube containing 2.0 mL of dichloroethane. The reaction mixture was stirred at a constant temperature or 80 °C for 6 h. Then, 30.0 mL of H₂O was added to quench the reaction. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 30.0 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄, followed by solvent removal using a rotary evaporator. The residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (petroleum ether / ethyl acetate = 2:1) to give compound 6.

[0043] Examples 23-34

[0044] The difference from Example 1 is that the amount of catalyst, type of solvent, reaction temperature and reaction time are as shown in Table 3, while the other steps are the same.

[0045] Table 3

[0046]

[0047] As shown in Table 3 above, the target compound was not detected after 16 h of reaction under standard conditions. Subsequently, by adjusting the loading of the catalyst TfOH, we successfully obtained the target compound in a yield of 16%. Encouraged by this positive result, we screened various solvents, such as CHCl3, CCl4, 1,2-Dichloroethane (DCE), and CH3CN, increasing the yield of 6a to 54%. Other reaction parameters, including reaction temperature and reaction time, were also investigated; however, these did not improve the efficiency. In summary, the optimal reaction conditions were determined, as shown in Example 28.

[0048] Examples 35-48

[0049] The reaction was carried out at 80 °C for 16 h with 0.5 mmol N-phenylindigo and 0.6 mmol of different cyclic ketones, using 2.5 mmol of catalyst TfOH and 2.0 mL of cyclohexane as solvent. The specific types of cyclic ketones and reaction yields are as follows:

[0050]

[0051] By testing methylcyclohexanones with different substitution positions (6b-6d), the results showed that the target compound was obtained in moderate to good yields. Subsequently, the effect of steric hindrance on the reaction (6e-6f) was explored, indicating that ortho-substituted cyclic ketones more readily fix the bond-breaking selectivity of the target compound. Furthermore, we tested cyclic ketones of different sizes, such as five-membered rings (6g-6i) and seven-membered rings (6j), with good results. Benzocyclic ketones (6k-6l) were also suitable for this reaction, providing a new method for the construction and transformation of complex active compounds containing indigo skeletons. In addition, we conducted further studies to demonstrate the value of this method in constructing complex functional molecules. 5α-Pregnane-3,20-dione 5m can readily react with N-phenylindigo 1 under mild conditions to obtain the target compound (6m) in 40% yield. This transformation provides a good platform for the synthesis of various functional molecules containing indigo skeletons and various steroidal skeletons.

[0052] All compounds were characterized by proton NMR spectroscopy, carbon NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. The data show that the obtained compounds are correct, and the results are as follows:
