Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a preparation method of pharmaceutical and chemical products, and relates to a method for preparing sulfimide compounds by using N-trityl-2-phenylethane-1-sulfinamide for chlorination oxidation with tert-butyl hypochlorite and further derivatization application with nucleophilic reagents. Background Art

Since their discovery in 1949 in organic synthesis, the sulfimide group has demonstrated its unique value in a variety of drug molecules. The functionalization activity of the nitrogen atom on the sulfimide still provides diverse possibilities for drug designers, and is very suitable for regulating the properties of compounds, as well as constructing new complex molecular structures and skeleton patterns.

[0003] The role of the sulfimide structure as a bioisostere of thiol and sulfur-free groups (such as alcohols and amines) has also been fully demonstrated in the literature. This structure is very suitable for regulating the druggability of active compounds, or enhancing the novelty of compound structures and avoiding patent restrictions.

[0004] Inspired by the exploration of sulfinamide compounds in our research group, the present invention synthesizes sulfimides to verify the applicability of N-trityl-2-phenylethane-1-sulfinamide in the derivatization synthesis of sulfimide compounds. The synthesis method of this sulfinamide uses widely sourced phenethyl alcohol as the starting material to synthesize xanthate compounds, which react with phosphine compounds under light conditions to generate alkyl radicals, and then the radicals are added to the sulfinimide reagent to produce sulfinamide.
