Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fluorination reactions, and particularly to a method for preparing fluorinated azabenzenes and their derivatives. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the research and development and application of fluorine-containing compounds have shown a significant growth trend. Due to its strong electronegativity (3.98 Pauling), atomic radius close to hydrogen and unique lipophilic characteristics, the fluorine atom can significantly improve the pharmacokinetic properties of drug molecules. Statistical data shows that among the small molecule drugs approved by the FDA in the past five years, the proportion of fluorine-containing structures has exceeded 35% (reaching 37.6% in 2022), and its penetration rate in pesticide active molecules has also been continuously increasing at an annual rate of 2.3%. This trend also extends to the field of materials science: thanks to the high bond energy of the C-F bond (~485 kJ / mol) and the low surface energy characteristics of fluorocarbon chains, the market share of fluorine-containing polymers in special engineering plastics has reached 47.8% (statistical data in 2023), especially dominating in cutting-edge fields such as spacecraft thermal protection systems and military stealth materials. Currently, the application boundaries of fluorine chemistry have expanded to diverse scenarios such as drug R & D, precision agriculture, organic catalysis, high-performance materials, and the development of positron emission tomography (PET) tracers.

[0003] It is worth noting that through the structural analysis of drugs approved by the FDA in the past decade (2013 - 2023), the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic skeleton remains the core framework of drug design, accounting for 68.4%. Among them, pyridine and its derivatives are particularly prominent. In new molecular entities in cutting-edge therapeutic fields such as anti-tumor (e.g., Palbociclib) and anti-infection (e.g., Delpazolid), the occurrence frequency of the pyridine ring is as high as 41.2%, highlighting its key position as a "dominant structure" in drug discovery. Therefore, in the process of drug R & D, the pyridine structure contained in drug molecules is of great significance. Functional group modification of it can effectively improve and enhance the drug efficacy, precisely optimize the activity and affinity of the molecule, and help drug upgrading. However, the late-stage fluorination modification of the para-position of pyridine has become a thorny problem, and there is still a lack of simple and efficient strategies so far.

[0004] In the field of traditional organic synthesis, the para-fluorination reaction of pyridine has not been fully and systematically explored for a long time, and only shows a fragmented research situation. Regarding the previous fluorination reactions involving pyridine halides, diazonium salts, and fluoroborates, they are mostly scattered in the vast literature of fluorination reactions of various aromatic substrates, only appearing as sporadic and isolated cases, without forming a coherent and in-depth research context.

[0005] Until recent years, with the continuous refinement of scientific research, a series of fluorination methods with significantly improved applicability have emerged one after another, injecting new vitality into this field. In 2023, the Ritter research group made a breakthrough by targeting the para-carbon-hydrogen bond of pyridine. Relying on a sophisticated electron transfer strategy, they successfully achieved the leap from theoretical concept to practical operation of the para-fluorination reaction of pyridine (Electron-Transfer-Enabled Concerted Nucleophilic Fluorination of Azaarenes: Selective C-H Fluorination of Quinolines, Li Zhang, Jiyao Yan, Dilgam Ahmadli, Zikuan Wang, and Tobias Ritter*, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2023, 145, 20182-20188). However, this method has inherent defects in the aspect of regioselectivity control, making it difficult to accurately direct fluorination at the para-position of pyridine during the reaction process, greatly increasing the probability of by-product formation and limiting its universality in practical application scenarios.
