Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and in particular relates to a method for direct amination of a quinoxaline CH bond. Background Art

[0002] Electron-deficient nitrogen-containing heterocyclic quinoxaline is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound with wide application value. Since its two imine nitrogen atoms are on the same ring of quinoxaline, it has a more electron-deficient property than compounds such as quinoline. Due to its various biological activities related to medicinal chemistry and a large number of luminescent properties, in the past few decades, scientists have used quinoxaline skeletons to design and develop many dyes, fluorescent materials, electroluminescent materials, and organic sensitizers for solar cell applications and polymer optoelectronic materials, as well as biologically active drugs with antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer activities.

[0003] To this end, great efforts have been made to develop new synthetic strategies and methods to seek more efficient functionalization of the quinoxaline skeleton. However, due to its inherent electron-deficient properties, quinoxaline has extremely low reaction efficiency and poor selectivity when used as a free radical addition receptor. The direct CH functionalization of electron-deficient heterocycles remains a difficult problem in synthetic chemistry. In addition, it is also a major challenge in synthetic chemistry to directly construct the CN bond on the quinoxaline skeleton without relying on pre-installed functional groups.

[0004] With the continuous development of synthetic chemistry and the increasingly severe environmental and resource problems, the development of atom-economical synthesis methods has become one of the important criteria for synthetic chemists to design new reactions. Metal-free catalytic technology, with its remarkable environmental friendliness, cost-effectiveness, high reaction selectivity and efficiency, wide substrate adaptability, and excellent safety and stability, has shown great application potential and important research value in many fields such as chemical synthesis, drug development, and materials science. Therefore, it has attracted widespread attention from academia and industry. However, the development of metal-free catalytic reactions faces many challenges, especially the problems of insufficient catalytic activity and difficulty in precisely controlling product selectivity, which limits its widespread promotion in practical applications. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a simple, practical, green and efficient method for realizing direct amination of the CH bond of quinoxaline, which has the significant advantages of easy availability of raw materials, simple operation, excellent selectivity and high atom economy.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

Quinoxaline compounds and azoles and derivatives thereof are used as raw materials, and the CH bond amination product of quinoxaline is directly synthesized through cross-dehydrogenation coupling under the action of an oxidant and an additive.

[0008] The above-mentioned method for direct amination of the CH bond of quinoxaline is carried out as follows: Compound 1, Compound 2, an oxidant, an additive and a solvent are added to a reactor, and the reaction is stirred. After the reaction is completed, the solvent is removed by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product, and the crude product is purified by thin layer chromatography to obtain a product of quinoxaline CH bond amination.

[0009] The above method for direct amination of the CH bond of quinoxaline complies with the following reaction formula:

[0010]

[0011] In the formula, compound 1 is a quinoxaline compound, and compound 2 is an azole and its derivatives.

[0013] The iodine-containing oxide is bis(trifluoroacetyloxy)iodobenzene, iodobenzene diacetic acid or a combination thereof; the peroxide is ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, tert-butyl hydroperoxide or a combination thereof; the base is trimethylsilyl azide, diphenylphosphoryl azide, tetrabutylammonium azide, sodium azide or a combination thereof.

[0014] The oxidant is bis(trifluoroacetyloxy)iodobenzene; the additive is trimethylsilane azide; and the solvent is dichloromethane.

[0015] The molar ratio of compound 1 to compound 2 is 1:1-10; the reaction temperature is 0-150° C., and the reaction time is 0-48 h.

[0016] The molar ratio of compound 1 to compound 2 is 1:2; the reaction temperature is room temperature, and the reaction time is 4 hours.

[0017] The reactor is a Schlenk tube.

[0018] In view of the problems existing in the synthesis of direct CH bond amination derivatives of quinoxaline at present, the inventor has established a method for direct amination of quinoxaline CH bond, using quinoxaline compounds and azoles and derivatives thereof as raw materials, and synthesizing the product of quinoxaline CH bond amination directly by cross-dehydrogenation coupling under the action of oxidants and additives (metal-free catalysis).
