Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a visible light-promoted synthesis method for structurally asymmetric sulfoxides and its applications, relating to CO7D, and specifically to the field of heterocyclic compound synthesis. Background Technology

[0002] Asymmetric sulfoxides are important compounds in the pharmaceutical and pesticide fields. Traditional methods typically employ high-temperature oxidation or use peroxides or high-valent iodine oxidants, with transition metal catalysts to promote the reaction. However, these methods suffer from several drawbacks, such as high energy consumption, metal residues in the products, and environmental pollution. Photocatalytic synthesis has become an important technique in synthetic reactions in recent years. Existing literature discloses photocatalytic synthesis using highly reactive substrates, but the raw materials themselves are unstable and unsuitable for industrial production. Therefore, developing a novel method for synthesizing asymmetric sulfoxides with mild reaction conditions, environmental friendliness, and high selectivity is crucial.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN201210489246.0 discloses a planar chiral ferrocene compound, its synthesis method, and its uses. It uses amine-methyl-substituted ferrocene, substituted arylboronic acid, heteroarylboronic acid, arylvinylboronic acid, or alkylboronic acid as raw materials, and chiral amino acids and palladium as catalysts to synthesize this type of planar chiral ferrocene compound with high efficiency and high correspondence selectivity. However, the catalyst used is a rare metal, resulting in high cost and metal residue. Chinese invention patent CN109810030A discloses a visible light-promoted method for preparing asymmetric sulfoxide compounds, using aryl diazonium salts and aryl thiophenols as raw materials for photocatalytic reaction to obtain asymmetric sulfoxides. However, the aryl diazonium salts and aryl thiophenol substrates have high reactivity, making them inconvenient to use and unsuitable for large-scale industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] S1 is added sequentially with disulfide compounds, benzoyl peroxide compounds, catalysts, inorganic bases, and solvents, and then mixed and stirred until homogeneous.

[0006] S2 was placed at room temperature and stirred under a light source with a wavelength of 400-425 nm for reaction.

[0007] After the reaction was monitored by thin-layer chromatography, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was separated by column chromatography to obtain a structurally asymmetric sulfoxide compound.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the aryl group is a monosubstituted aryl or polysubstituted aryl group, and the aryl group is selected from one of alkyl, alkoxy, alkylamino, halogen, nitro, cyano, and amino groups.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the reaction formula for the synthesis reaction is as follows:

[0012]

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the catalyst is an anthracene compound with the structural formula [structure omitted]. In the formula R 3 It is a C1-C6 alkyl group, and the anthracene compound is selected from one or a combination of several of 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene, 9,10-diethoxyanthracene, 9,10-dipropoxyanthracene, 9,10-diisopropoxyanthracene, and 9,10-dibutoxyanthracene.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the catalyst is 9,10-dibutoxyanthracene.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the inorganic base is selected from one or a combination of several of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium phosphate, and cesium carbonate.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the inorganic base is sodium carbonate.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the solvent is acetonitrile.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the reaction temperature in step S2 is 20-30℃ and the reaction time is 6-24h.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the reaction temperature in step S2 is 23-28°C and the reaction time is 6-15 hours.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the reaction temperature in step S2 is 25°C and the reaction time is 6-8 hours.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the concentration of the disulfide compound in the system is 0.05-0.2 mol / L, and the concentration of the benzoyl peroxide compound in the system is 0.05-0.2 mol / L.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the concentration of the disulfide compound in the system is 0.1-0.2 mol / L, and the concentration of the benzoyl peroxide compound in the system is 0.1-0.2 mol / L.

[0028] Currently, there are many methods for preparing structurally asymmetric sulfoxides, but these methods suffer from drawbacks such as the presence of impurities in the resulting asymmetric sulfoxides, unstable substrates, difficulty in obtaining the product, and high production costs. This application uses highly stable disulfide compounds and benzoyl peroxide compounds as substrates for photocatalytic reactions. Existing synthetic reactions use transition metals such as copper, silver, and cobalt as catalysts or oxidize sulfides at high temperatures, resulting in metal residues in the obtained structurally asymmetric sulfoxides, posing safety risks when used in the pharmaceutical field. High-temperature reactions also require high energy consumption. This application innovatively discovers that using anthracene catalysts, especially 9,10-dibutoxyanthracene, can reduce the activation energy required during the reaction, lower energy consumption, and simultaneously avoid the introduction of metal catalysts, preventing metal residues and improving the safety of the product.

[0029] The applicant further discovered that when anthracene catalysts are used in conjunction with the addition of inorganic bases, the amount of catalyst used can be reduced and the reaction efficiency improved. The possible reason is that the introduction of inorganic bases makes the reaction environment of the system alkaline. Under alkaline conditions, anthracene catalysts catalyze the decarbonylation of benzoyl peroxide compounds, and disulfide compounds react with benzoyl peroxide to obtain intermediate-valence sulfides with high reactivity, thereby improving the reaction efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0030] A second aspect of the present invention provides an application of a visible light-promoted synthesis method for structurally asymmetric sulfoxides, which is used in the preparation of structurally asymmetric sulfoxides.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] (1) The visible light-promoted synthesis method of asymmetric sulfoxides described in this invention uses 9,10-dibutoxyanthracene as a catalyst, which can reduce the activation energy required in the reaction process, reduce energy consumption, and avoid the introduction of metal catalysts, avoid metal residues, and improve the safety of the product.

[0033] (2) The visible light-promoted synthesis method of asymmetric sulfoxides described in this invention, by adding an inorganic base while using an anthracene catalyst, can reduce the amount of catalyst used and improve the reaction efficiency under visible light.

[0034] (3) The visible light-promoted synthesis method of asymmetric sulfoxides described in this invention can obtain a variety of asymmetric sulfoxide compounds. It has the advantages of simple operation, good substrate applicability, and mild conditions. It also overcomes the disadvantages of low reaction efficiency and high catalyst cost of existing technologies. Attached Figure Description
