AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies struggle to synthesize alkyl trifluoromethylthio compounds efficiently and mildly, especially due to the challenges of regioselective trifluoromethylthiolation of alkyl groups with multiple C-H bonds, and the use of precious metal photosensitizers or poor atom economy in traditional methods.

Method used

Inexpensive organic photocatalysts such as 2,4,5,6-tetra(9-carbazolyl)-isophthalonitrile, 2,4,5-tris(9-carbazolyl)-6-(N-methylaniline)isophthalonitrile or eosin were used as catalysts. The reaction was carried out under nitrogen protection with blue light irradiation, and a three-component reaction was carried out with an unactivated olefin, a trifluoromethyl sulfide source and a free radical hydrogen source. The reaction was then post-treated to obtain an alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfide compound.

Benefits of technology

The synthesis of alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfide compounds with high regioselectivity has been achieved, avoiding the use of precious metals. It is characterized by simple operation, environmental friendliness and high efficiency. The products can be further oxidized to trifluoromethyl alkyl sulfone or trifluoromethyl alkyl sulfonyl imide.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the fields of medicine, organic chemical industry and fine chemical industry, and in particular to an alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfide compound and a synthesis method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Trifluoromethylthio group (SCF3) has a high lipophilicity constant (Hansch constant SCF3: 1.44). When it is introduced into the skeleton of a drug molecule, it can greatly improve the ability of the drug molecule to penetrate the cell membrane, and can also enhance the absorption and utilization of the active ingredients of the drug by the organism. In addition, trifluoromethylthio group has strong electron-withdrawing ability (Hammett constant SCF3: σ p = 0.50, σ m = 0.40). Its presence can change the electron cloud density and polarity of the molecular skeleton, thereby improving the pharmacokinetic effect (Xu, X.-H.; Matsuzaki, K.; Shibata, N. Chem. Rev. 2015, 115, 731-764.).

[0003] However, there is currently no efficient and mild method for synthesizing drug molecules containing alkyl trifluoromethylthio groups. Traditional methods mainly use halogen-fluorine exchange or trifluoromethylation of mercaptans. Recently, visible light-promoted redox reactions can be used to directly trifluoromethylthioize C-H bonds to synthesize various alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfide compounds (Mukherjee, S.; Maji, B.; Tlahuext-AcaA.; Glorius, F. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016, 138, 50, 16200-16203; Xu, W.; Ma, J.; Yuan, X.-A.; Dai, J.; Xie J.; Zhu, C. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2018, 57, 10357-10361; Zhang, H.; Wang, Q.; Wang, Y.; Yuan, Z.; Gao, F.; Britto, R. Asian J. Org. Chem. 2021, 10, 2570.). Although these synthesis strategies have made great progress, it is still difficult to control the regioselective trifluoromethylthioization of alkyl groups due to the multiple carbon-hydrogen bonds in the alkyl group. In the existing reports, organic workers use alkyl carboxylic acids, alkyl dihydropyridines, etc. as alkyl radical sources to synthesize alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfide compounds (Candish, L.; Pitzer, L.; A.; Glorius, F. Chem. Eur. J. 2016, 22, 4753-4756; Lipp, A.; Badir, S. O.; Gutierrez, O. Molander, G. A. Adv. Synth. Catal. 2021, 363, 3507-3520). However, some of these strategies use expensive iridium complexes as photosensitizers, which is not in line with the concept of green chemistry synthesis. Some reactions have poor atom economy and low atom utilization. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a green and simple method for synthesizing alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfide. Nitrogen is used as an inert atmosphere, and inorganic base, organic photocatalyst, non-activated olefin (compound 1), trifluoromethylthio source (compound 2) and free radical hydrogen source (compound 3) are added to the reaction solvent. Blue light is used for irradiation, and under the catalysis of the organic photocatalyst, the non-activated olefin, the trifluoromethylthio source and the free radical hydrogen source undergo a three-component reaction, and then after treatment, different substituted alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfide compounds are obtained.

[0005] The method of the present application uses inexpensive carbazolyl molecules or organic dye molecules as organic photosensitive catalysts, and has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, less environmental pollution, simple operation and good functional group tolerance.

[0006] The specific process of the reaction is as follows:

[0010] The reaction solvent is N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or acetonitrile (MeCN).

[0011] The free radical hydrogen source is R 1 -SH, R 1 can be cyclohexyl, 4-methylphenyl, methyl acetate;

[0012] The trifluoromethylthio source is N-trifluoromethylthio saccharin or N-trifluoromethylthio phthalimide.

[0013] The inorganic base is: dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (K2HPO4), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4), disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4), sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4).

[0014] The photocatalyst used is: 2,4,5,6-tetrakis (9-carbazolyl) -m-benzene dicarbonitrile (4CzIPN), 2,4,5-tris (9-carbazolyl) -6- (N-methyl aniline) m-benzene dicarbonitrile (3CzMPAIPN), eosin Y (Y Eosin Y), and the amount of organic photocatalyst is 2 mmol% of the number of moles of non-activated olefin.

[0015] The molar ratio of non-activated olefin, trifluoromethylthio source and free radical hydrogen source is 1:2:1.

[0016] The general structure of the obtained alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfide compound is: The R group can be And the para-substituted group R' of the aromatic ring is methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, methoxy, bromine, chlorine, and the R group can be

[0017] The three-component reaction post-processing of the present application uses a sodium hypochlorite solution with a content of 7.5%, which removes the unreacted mercaptan; then only simple thin layer chromatography is needed for separation and purification, with petroleum ether: ethyl acetate = 70:1-50:1 as the developing agent, the product is separated by thin layer chromatography, and the solvent is removed by vacuum concentration to obtain pure alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfide compound.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] The present application avoids the use of noble metal photosensitive catalyst, uses inexpensive 4CzIPN, 3CzMPAIPN, eosin Y as photocatalyst, and the catalyst is simple to prepare and has high catalytic efficiency; uses non-activated olefin which is widely available in the industry as a substrate, and under mild photo-oxidation and reduction conditions, it can realize the high regioselectivity of the anti-Markovnikov hydrogen trifluoromethylthio reaction of non-activated olefin. In addition, the obtained alkyl trifluoromethyl sulfide compound can be further oxidized to obtain trifluoromethyl alkyl sulfone or trifluoromethyl alkyl sulfoximine, which can be used as an important synthetic intermediate.
