Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing indazolo[2,3-a]quinoline compounds. Background Art

[0002] Compounds with a 2-arylindazole skeleton have extensive applications in the fields of biomedicine, optoelectronic materials, photocatalytic synthesis, etc. Indazolo[2,3-a]quinoline compounds have attracted attention due to their excellent optical properties. Currently, the following several methods have been reported for the synthesis of indazolo[2,3-a]quinoline compounds:

[0003] (1) In 2008, the Naoya Shindoh team reported a self-tandem catalytic reaction for synthesizing substituted quinolines using aldehyde amines and electron-rich olefins as raw materials. This reaction first synthesizes an imine from aniline and o-nitrobenzaldehyde, and forms the target product through cyclization, oxidation, and dehydration. The bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amine used in this route has strict operating conditions, high danger, a long reaction time, and poor selectivity for disubstituted diaryl olefins. The reaction principle of this method is as follows:

[0004]

[0005] (2) In 2013, the ChaoFeng research group reported the efficient synthesis of allenes substituted at the 3-position of 2-arylindazoles through the cross-coupling of 2-alkynylazobenzenes and terminal alkynes catalyzed by Pd / Cu. This reaction path is relatively cumbersome, the method of using dual-metal catalysis has poor economic applicability, and the allene cyclization reaction has a high temperature and a long reaction time, which needs to be optimized. The reaction principle of this method is as follows:

[0006]

[0007] (3) In 2012 and 2016, the Li research group and the Wang research group respectively reported the synthesis of indazolo[2,3-a]quinoline compounds by cyclizing N-based pyridinium salts with benzyne and the synthesis of N-aryl butanone salts from N-aryl glycine as raw materials, followed by cyclization under the catalysis of rhodium metal and then reaction with benzyne to generate indazolo[2,3-a]quinoline compounds. Both routes have a relatively low reaction temperature, but they both require the prior synthesis of ionic intermediates, the process is relatively cumbersome, and the reaction process has a long cycle. The reaction principle of this method is as follows:

[0008]

[0009] (4) In 2016, the research group of Sundaravel Vivek Kumar reported a rhodium-catalyzed cyclization reaction of 2-arylindazoles and diarylacetylenes to produce indazolo[2,3-a]quinoline compounds. This reaction has mild conditions and excellent results, but the rhodium catalyst is relatively expensive, resulting in high production costs. The reaction principle of this method is as follows:
