Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of deuterated compound production, and particularly relates to a di-tert-butylphosphine chloride-d18, a preparation method thereof, a phosphine ligand, and a catalyst. Background Art

[0002] Di-tert-butylphosphine chloride (t-Bu2PCl), also known as di-tert-butyl chlorophosphite, is a very important palladium complex ligand in the field of organic synthesis. Generally, it appears as a colorless liquid and can exist stably under normal temperature and pressure. Using di-tert-butylphosphine chloride as a direct ligand or as a raw material for the synthesis of ligand catalysts, it is further widely used in coupling reactions such as C-C, C-N, and C-O. For example, Cu(I)X can be used to catalyze the coupling of di-tert-butylphosphine chloride with phenyl or biphenyl Grignard reagents to obtain ligands of di-tert-butylphenylphosphine. Research shows that in palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, alkylphosphines with larger volumes are more effective ligands because they can increase the reductive elimination rate in these processes and can be used for more challenging substrate combinations (those with steric hindrance or containing sensitive functional groups). Catalysts or ligands with di-tert-butylphosphine or dicyclohexylphosphine are generally more effective. However, some reactions have higher requirements for the stability of the ligand, and the C-H bond in the coordination may have an adverse effect on the reaction. Utilizing the fact that the C-D bond is more stable than the C-H bond, developing deuterated phosphine ligands is a solution.

[0003] Di-tert-butylphosphine chloride can be used to synthesize phosphine oxide bidentate ligands. CN111647020A discloses a synthesis method of a phosphine oxide bidentate ligand: The reaction system is established under the protection of an inert gas, and generally nitrogen or argon is selected as the inert gas here. Then, starting materials and the reaction solvent tetrahydrofuran are added to a dry reaction vessel. The temperature is maintained at -78°C to -60°C, and deprotonation is carried out with the base LDA, and di-tert-butylphosphorus chloride is slowly added dropwise. After the reaction is complete, a methanol solution of magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate is slowly added dropwise to the above mixture. After the reaction ends, the reaction system mixture is filtered through diatomaceous earth, washed, and concentrated to obtain a crude product. Still under the protection of an inert gas, the crude product is dissolved in toluene, triethylamine and trichlorosilane are added, and finally 30% sodium hydroxide solution is added to quench the reaction. Then, through extraction, concentration, and pulping steps, the phosphine oxide bidentate ligand is obtained. Experimental detection shows that the purity of the synthesized ligand can reach more than 97%.

[0004] Furthermore, various palladium catalysts can be synthesized according to different synthesized phosphine ligands for use in various reaction processes such as catalyzing coupling reactions. For example, CN108659054A discloses a preparation method of dichlorobis(tert-butyl)-4-dimethylaminophenylphosphine palladium. First, tert-butylphosphine chloride reacts with a Grignard reagent prepared from N,N-dimethyl-p-haloaniline and magnesium chips to prepare tert-butyl-4-dimethylaminophenylphosphine; second, the product p-tert-butyl-4-dimethylaminophenylphosphine is purified; finally, bis(acetonitrile)palladium dichloride is taken to carry out a complexation reaction with the purified substance to obtain dichlorobis(tert-butyl)-4-dimethylaminophenylphosphine palladium. By purifying tert-butyl-4-dimethylaminophenylphosphine in the above process and reacting it with bis(acetonitrile)palladium dichloride, the yield loss of precious metal palladium can be greatly reduced, the preparation cost can be significantly reduced, and it has good practical value.

[0005] In addition, tert-butylphosphine chloride has good biological activity and can also be used as a component of anticancer drugs and antiviral drugs, with broad application prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tert-butylphosphine chloride-d18, its preparation method, a phosphine ligand, and a catalyst, with easily obtainable raw materials and mild and controllable reaction conditions, which are conducive to industrial scale-up production.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: A preparation method of tert-butylphosphine chloride-d18, comprising the following steps: S1: Dispersing tert-butyl chloride-d9 and magnesium chips in an organic solvent, and initiating a Grignard reaction with an initiator to generate tert-butylmagnesium chloride-d9; the molar ratio of tert-butyl chloride-d9, magnesium chips, and the initiator is 1:1.0 - 1.2:0.01 - 0.02; S2: Dissolving phosphorus trichloride in an organic solvent, adding the tert-butylmagnesium chloride-d9 obtained in S1, reacting to generate tert-butylphosphine chloride-d18, and obtaining the product through separation and purification.

[0008] For the synthesis route of tert-butylphosphine chloride-d18, its non-deuterated synthesis route is known, but the deuterated synthesis route has not been reported. The present invention uses tert-butyl chloride-d9 as a raw material to carry out a Grignard reaction with magnesium chips to generate tert-butylmagnesium chloride-d9; then reacting with phosphorus trichloride to generate tert-butylphosphine chloride-d18. In the preparation of the Grignard reagent, tert-butyl chloride may reversibly eliminate to obtain isobutene, which will cause a decrease in the deuterium content of tert-butylphosphine chloride-d18 in an environment where active hydrogen exists. Therefore, when using conventional iodine or dibromoethane as an initiator, the conditions within the reaction system need to be strictly controlled. The present application uses a Grignard reagent as an initiator to avoid the problems brought by conventional initiators.

[0009] Preferably, in S1, the initiator is selected from at least one of methylmagnesium chloride and isopropylmagnesium chloride. The amount of the initiator is very small, which can reduce the generation of by-products; and preferably, small molecule Grignard reagents are selected, and the low-boiling by-products generated can be removed by distillation.

[0010] Preferably, S1 is specifically as follows: under nitrogen protection, part of tert-butyl chloride-d9 and magnesium chips are dispersed in an organic solvent, heated to 50-60 °C and stirred evenly, then the initiator and the remaining tert-butyl chloride-d9 are added, and the temperature is raised to 70-75 °C, and the reaction is carried out for 1-2 h. The amount of part of tert-butyl chloride-d9 accounts for 20-30% of the total molar percentage of tert-butyl chloride-d9.

[0011] Preferably, in S2, the molar ratio of tert-butylmagnesium chloride-d9 to phosphorus trichloride is 1:0.2-0.4.

[0012] Preferably, S2 is specifically as follows: phosphorus trichloride is dissolved in an organic solvent, cooled to -40 °C to -50 °C, and tert-butylmagnesium chloride-d9 obtained in S1 is added dropwise. After the addition is completed, the temperature is raised to room temperature and stirred for 10-20 h; then heated to 70-75 °C and refluxed for 2-3 h. Finally, dioxane is added and refluxed at 70-75 °C for 1-2 h to obtain di-tert-butylphosphine chloride-d18.

[0013] Preferably, in S2, the separation and purification are as follows: the reaction solution is filtered, concentrated, and distilled under reduced pressure in sequence to obtain the purified product.

[0014] Preferably, the organic solvent is selected from at least one of tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, and n-hexane.
