Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic compound preparation, specifically, to compounds, and more specifically, to a method for preparing compounds. Background Art

[0002] 19 F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying protein dynamics and drug screening. 19 F has a spin quantum number of 1 / 2 and is the second most sensitive stable NMR-active nucleus, with a sensitivity of 83.4% that of 1H. 19 F is an isotope with 100% natural abundance and is not found in most organisms. 19 F, and therefore will not be interfered by background signals. The 19F resonance is highly sensitive to the chemical environment, with a chemical shift range spanning hundreds of ppm. 19 The unique advantages of F-NMR have led to its wide application in membrane protein dynamics, protein aggregation, intracellular protein behavior, drug screening, etc.

[0003] Currently, many fluorinated amino acids have been developed for use as 19 F-NMR probes include monofluorophenylalanine, monofluorotyrosine, monofluorotryptophan, trifluoromethylphenylalanine and trifluoromethylleucine. Fluorine atoms have the highest electronegativity. When fluorine atoms are introduced into organic compounds, the electron cloud density distribution and pH of the compounds will change. The unique structural effect of fluorine in aromatic compounds and benzene rings will make the electronic effect of monofluoro-substituted aromatic compounds less significant, and the chemical shift of fluorine can be further amplified. Therefore, fluorine-labeled aromatic amino acids, especially fluorine-labeled phenylalanine and fluorine-labeled tyrosine, are widely used in protein 19 F-NMR study. Compared with monofluorinated compounds, trifluoromethyl aromatic compounds increase the signal concentration of equivalent fluorine in the molecule and have stronger 19 F-NMR signal. It is worth mentioning that the trifluoromethyl group exhibits a faster longitudinal relaxation rate and a slower transverse relaxation rate due to its rapid rotation, resulting in higher sensitivity. For this reason, trifluoromethylphenylalanine is used as 19 F-NMR probes have been widely used. For example, Manglik et al. first realized the site-specific insertion of para-trifluoromethylphenylalanine into proteins in prokaryotes by genetic codon expansion; Wang et al. further realized the insertion of meta-trifluoromethylphenylalanine into membrane proteins in an insect cell expression system and successfully used it to study the allosteric regulation mechanism of cannabinoid receptor CB1. However, trifluoromethylated tryptophan has not yet been developed.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to prepare a type of trifluoromethyl tryptophan. The trifluoromethyl tryptophan can be used as19 F-NMR probe has the advantages of strong signal and high environmental sensitivity, and is suitable for protein and peptide conformational dynamics. 19 F-NMR studies and drug screening.

[0038] Depending on the choice of raw materials and methods, the compounds of the present invention may exist in the form of one of the possible isomers or a mixture thereof, for example as a pure optical isomer, or as a mixture of isomers, such as a racemic and diastereomeric mixture, depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms. When describing optically active compounds, prefixes D and L or R and S are used to represent the absolute configuration of the molecule with respect to the chiral center (or multiple chiral centers) in the molecule. The prefixes D and L or (+) and (–) are symbols for the rotation of plane polarized light caused by the specified compound, where (–) or L indicates that the compound is left-handed. Compounds prefixed with (+) or D are right-handed. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of each other. Specific stereoisomers may also be referred to as enantiomers, and mixtures of the isomers are generally referred to as mixtures of enantiomers. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is called a racemic mixture or racemate, which may occur when there is no stereoselectivity or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C=N double bonds, etc. may also exist in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present invention. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds, unless otherwise specified, such double bonds include both E and Z geometric isomers. If the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl group, the cycloalkyl substituents may be in the cis- or trans- configuration.

The graphic representation of racemates or enantiomerically pure compounds herein is from Maehr, J. Chem. Ed. 1985, 62: 114-120. Unless otherwise indicated, the absolute configuration of a stereocenter is indicated by a wedge-shaped bond and a dashed bond.

[0040] Optically active (R)-or (S)-isomers can be prepared using chiral preparations or chiral preparations, or can be split using conventional techniques. The compounds of the present invention containing asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be separated in optically active form or racemic form. The splitting of the racemic mixture of a compound can be carried out by any of many methods known in the art. Exemplary methods include fractional recrystallization using chiral splitting acid, which is an optically active salified organic acid. Suitable splitting agents for fractional recrystallization methods are, for example, optically active acids, such as tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, lactic acid or various optically active camphorsulfonic acids such as D and L forms of β-camphorsulfonic acid. Other resolving agents suitable for fractional crystallization methods include α-methyl-benzylamine (e.g., S and R forms or diastereomeric pure forms), 2-phenylglycinol, norephedrine, ephedrine, N-methylephedrine, cyclohexylethylamine, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, etc. The resolution of the racemic mixture can also be carried out by eluting on a column filled with an optically active resolving agent (e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine). High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can also be used to carry out supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The selection of specific methods and elution conditions, the selection of chromatographic columns can be selected by those skilled in the art according to the structure of the compound and the test results. Further, optically pure starting materials or reagents of known configuration can also be used to obtain any enantiomer or diastereomer of the compound described in the present invention through stereoorganic preparation.
