Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic drug synthesis, and in particular to a ring-opening hydroformylation reaction of benzylidenecyclopropane using formic acid as a carbonyl source. Background Art

[0002] Benzylidenecyclopropane is an important class of organic synthesis intermediates. A variety of important organic compounds can be obtained through the functionalization reaction of benzylidenecyclopropane. In addition, γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are also extremely widely used in disciplines such as fine chemical industry and pharmaceutical chemistry. As the molecular skeletons of drugs, spices, etc., they play a huge role in people's daily lives (as shown in the figure below).

[0003]

[0004] In previous studies, the hydroformylation reaction of olefins mainly used carbon monoxide as a carbonyl source and hydrogen as a reducing agent. However, carbon monoxide is toxic, hydrogen is flammable and explosive, and most of the reactions need to be carried out under high temperature and high pressure, which limits the application of such reactions in laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry or industry. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a mild hydroformylation method without carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a ring-opening hydroformylation reaction of benzylidenecyclopropane using formic acid as a carbonyl source. The present invention does not involve carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and can successfully achieve the ring-opening hydroformylation reaction of methylenecyclopropane under mild conditions only in the presence of equivalent formic acid, thereby efficiently and highly selectively preparing a series of γ,δ-unsaturated aldehyde compounds.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is:

[0007] A ring-opening hydroformylation reaction of benzylidenecyclopropane using formic acid as a carbonyl source. Under a nitrogen protection atmosphere, benzylidenecyclopropane, formic acid, metal rhodium salt, phosphine ligand and acetic anhydride are dispersed in an organic solvent and then reacted to obtain a crude product of γ,δ-unsaturated aldehyde; after the reaction is completed, the crude product of γ,δ-unsaturated aldehyde is separated to obtain the target product γ,δ-unsaturated aldehyde.

[0008] The reaction formula of this preparation method is:

[0009]

[0010] Further, the structural formula of the benzylidenecyclopropane is

[0011] Among them, R is one of an alkyl group, a phenyl group, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, trifluoromethyl, naphthalene, and thiophene.

[0012] Further, the molar ratio of the benzylidenecyclopropane, formic acid, metal rhodium salt, phosphine ligand, and acetic anhydride is 1:(1 - 4):(0.001 - 0.05):(0.004 - 0.2):(1 - 4).

[0013] Further, the phosphine ligand is one of PPh3, (o-OMe-Ph)3P, (p-F-Ph)3P, (2-thienyl)3P, (2-furyl)3P, PPh2Cy, PPhCy2, PCy3, (C6F5)3P, dppm, dppb, and dppf. The phosphine ligand is preferably PPh3 (triphenylphosphine), and its structural formula is as follows:

[0014]

[0015] Further, the metal rhodium salt is one of rhodium(II) acetylacetonate dicarbonyl, rhodium(II) trifluoroacetate dimer, rhodium nitrate, rhodium(I) acetylacetonate carbonyltriphenylphosphine, chlorocarbonylbis(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I), tricarbonylhydridotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I), and rhodium(III) chloride. The metal rhodium salt is preferably rhodium(II) acetylacetonate dicarbonyl.

[0016] Further, the organic solvent is one of n-hexane, 1,2-dichloroethane, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, acetone, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, ethyl acetate, and DMF. The organic solvent is preferably 1,2-dichloroethane.

[0017] Further, the separation operation is silica gel column chromatography separation method, and the specific operation is: packing the column with petroleum ether, and the eluent is petroleum ether:ethyl acetate with a volume ratio of 60:1.

[0018] Further, the reaction temperature is 20 - 110 °C, preferably 40 °C.

[0019] Acetic anhydride is used as a formic acid activator.

[0020] The reaction mechanism of the present invention is as follows: First, Rh(acac)(CO)2 complexes with the ligand and formic acid, loses one molecule of CO and Hacac to generate intermediate M1. After removing one molecule of CO2, Rh-H species M2 is generated. Then, it undergoes hydro-rhodation reaction with the standard substrate benzylidene cyclopropane to generate intermediate M3. When intermediate M3 undergoes β-C elimination, the cyclopropane ring opens to generate intermediate M4. Then, CO migrates and inserts into the C-Rh bond to form intermediate M5. Acetic anhydride and formic acid generate methyl ethyl anhydride, which undergoes oxidative addition with intermediate M5 to generate Rh-H species M6. After reduction, linear γ,δ-unsaturated aldehyde 2a and Rh complex M7 are generated. Then, the carbonyl group of complex M7 migrates to generate intermediate M8, which is then attacked by formic acid to remove the acetate ion to generate Rh complex M1 to complete the catalytic cycle. The specific reaction mechanism is as follows:

[0021]

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention is reasonably designed and has a simple preparation method, with the following advantages:

[0023] (1) The present invention uses metal rhodium salt and phosphine ligand as catalysts, reacts benzylidene cyclopropane with an equivalent amount of formic acid, and can obtain the corresponding γ,δ-unsaturated aldehyde and its derivatives under very mild conditions. The present invention uses formic acid as the carbonyl source and hydrogen source, and successfully solves the problem of selective ring-opening hydroformylation reaction of benzylidene cyclopropane;

[0024] (2) The reaction conditions of the present invention are mild. Using formic acid as the carbonyl source and hydrogen source, it avoids the use of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in traditional hydroformylation reactions, avoids the generation of toxic pollutants, is easy to operate, has a good yield, can greatly save energy and improve synthesis efficiency. At the same time, the γ,δ-unsaturated aldehyde compounds obtained by the ring-opening hydroformylation reaction of benzylidene cyclopropane are analogs of many bioactive molecules and have potential biological activities.

[0161] The results of product structure confirmation are as follows: 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.82 (t, J = 1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.26 - 7.23 (m 1H), 7.17 (d, J = 4.4 Hz, 1H), 7.11 - 7.03 (m, 1H), 6.44 (d, J = 16.0 Hz, 1H), 6.06 (dt, J = 15.6, 6.8 Hz, 1H), 2.65 - 2.58 (m, 2H), 2.56 - 2.47 (m, 2H); 13 C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ 202.0, 140.0, 128.3, 126.2, 125.6, 125.0, 121.4, 43.6, 25.6; HRMS (ESI) calcd for C9H 10 OSNa (M+Na) + : 189.0345; found: 189.0344.

[0162] The synthesized compound was identified as the target compound (E)-5-(thiophen-3-yl)penta-4-enal 2q by structure identification.
