Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and specifically relates to a fully substituted pyrrole compound and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Fully substituted pyrrole has a five-membered aromatic heterocyclic ring and is widely used as a raw material for organic synthesis, medicine, pesticides, fragrances, rubber vulcanization accelerators, epoxy resin curing agents, etc.
[0003] In recent years, the synthesis of fully substituted pyrroles has attracted great attention, and various synthetic methods have been developed. These include condensation, organic small molecule catalysis or metal catalysis. The synthesis of pyrroles by condensation methods usually faces problems such as poor chemical selectivity and relatively severe reaction conditions. Metal-catalyzed cascade reactions have unique advantages in constructing cyclic compounds. Isonitriles are often used in transition metal-catalyzed cascade reactions because of their electrophilic and nucleophilic properties. At present, many methods for the preparation of fully substituted pyrroles by metal-catalyzed cyclization involving isonitriles have been reported. Among them, the Inoue group reported a palladium-catalyzed scheme for the generation of fully substituted pyrroles from alkynes and tert-butyl isonitriles in 2008 (J. Organometallic Chem. 2009, 694, 1333). In 2016, Zhu Jieping's group reported a palladium-catalyzed three-component reaction of propyne carbonate, isonitrile and alcohol, and obtained fully substituted pyrroles with good yields (Org. Lett. 2017, 19, 270). However, the reactions reported above can only trigger the cyclization reaction to obtain fully substituted pyrroles using high-cost precious metal palladium catalysts. In 2024, our research group reported a nickel-catalyzed cyclization reaction of acetylenic nitrile and tert-butyl isonitrile under simple conditions (Tetrahedron Lett. 2024, 146, 155194). This scheme provides an inexpensive catalytic system to achieve the preparation of fully substituted pyrroles. However, the substrate range of this synthesis method is limited, and only the substituted group at the 3rd position of the obtained pyrrole five-membered ring can be transformed by replacing the substrate, and complex or functional pyrroles cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a synthesis scheme for fully substituted pyrroles with easily available raw materials, cheap catalysts, and diverse product structures. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a novel fully substituted pyrrole and a method for synthesizing the same. To achieve the above object, the following technical scheme is proposed:

[0013]
[0014] Furthermore, the organic solvent is toluene.
[0015] Furthermore, the amount of the organic solvent used is 34.48 to 38.47 mL / g based on the mass of the isonitrile represented by formula (III).
[0016] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the isonitrile represented by formula (III), the diphenylacetylene represented by formula (II), the catalyst, and the salt is 1:2:0.1:3.
[0017] Furthermore, the salt is sodium thiosulfate, zinc oxide, zinc selenide, preferably sodium thiosulfate.
[0018] Furthermore, after the reaction is completed, the specific operation process of silica gel column chromatography separation and purification is as follows: after the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is concentrated and subjected to column chromatography, a mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate is used as an eluent, the eluate containing the target compound is collected, concentrated, distilled and dried to obtain a pyrrole compound as shown in formula (I), wherein the volume ratio of petroleum ether to ethyl acetate in the mixture is 20 to 40:1.
[0019] The present invention also relates to the application of the fully substituted pyrrole compound as a luminescent material.
[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the raw material acetylene compounds and isonitrile compounds of the present invention have structural diversity and can be used to synthesize fully substituted pyrrole compounds of different types and structures; the present invention has good yield; the reaction raw material diphenylacetylene and substrates of the same type have the advantages of being simple to obtain and having stable properties compared with the raw materials of reactions reported by previous researchers (benzyne nitrile and propargyl carbonate); the fully substituted pyrrole compounds have good diversity and functional group tolerance, and therefore have wide applicability; further modification of different substitution sites on the heterocyclic skeleton of the fully substituted pyrrole compounds can obtain intermediates of chemical products and drug structures; the target product of the present invention uses pyrrole as the key mother nucleus, and amides and other unsaturated groups are introduced into the ring, and this type of structure has potential pharmacological activity; cheap transition metal nickel is used as a catalyst; and a novel fully substituted pyrrole structure is proposed.

[0084] Fluorescence property test of fully substituted pyrrole compounds
[0085] In the present invention, aromatic groups are attached to the substitution positions of the four carbon atoms of the fully substituted pyrrole compounds, and the protecting group on the nitrogen is a phenyl group. When the para position of the phenyl group is a strong electron-withdrawing group, the whole is electron-withdrawing. From the perspective of the luminescent material, this constitutes a conjugated system with good optical properties. We found in the reaction that when the target product is dissolved in dichloromethane and smeared on a TLC plate, the strong fluorescence emission of the target product can be clearly observed under ultraviolet light. In order to explore the fluorescence properties of different reaction products, we selected the products of Examples 1, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 (products 3aa, 3ba, 3ca, 3da, 3ab, and 3ea, respectively) for testing experiments. 0.2 mmol of the target product was dissolved in 2 mL of dichloromethane and smeared on TLC plates, and the intensity of its fluorescence emission was observed. The experimental results are as follows Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the several products tested can emit strong fluorescence, but compared with the standard compound product 3aa, when an electron-withdrawing group such as chlorine atom (3ba), fluorine atom (3ca), and trifluoromethyl (3ea) is introduced into the para position of the benzene ring, the fluorescence performance of the target product is enhanced. Therefore, the fully substituted pyrrole compounds obtained by this preparation method have practical application value in constructing new luminescent materials containing pyrrole skeletons.
