Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of generating carbocations and performing coupling reactions, and specifically includes a method for photocatalytically generating carbocations from thiol compounds and performing coupling reactions with nucleophiles. Background Art

[0002] As an important reactive intermediate, carbocations have extensive applications in organic reactions. The traditional method for generating carbocations is that alkyl electrophiles lose two electrons simultaneously under Lewis acid conditions to form carbocations. Or starting from substrate alkenes, carbocations are generated under the action of strong Brønsted acids. However, due to the required strong acidic conditions, the functional group compatibility is limited. Visible-light photocatalyzed redox reactions have developed into a powerful synthetic method, enabling the synthesis of various complex organic compounds from simple starting materials under mild conditions. The strategy for generating carbocations via visible-light photocatalysis mainly relies on the generation of carbon radicals from carbocation precursors through single-electron transfer, and then the carbon radicals further undergo single-electron oxidation to generate carbocations. However, this strategy has the following problems: 1. The carbon radicals generated by photoredox catalysis have the characteristics of short lifespan and low concentration, making it difficult to further undergo the second single-electron oxidation to generate carbocations; 2. Carbon radicals are prone to radical reactions. To solve this problem, a method of stabilizing and oxidizing carbon radicals by metal copper oxidants to generate carbocations has been reported in recent years (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2020, 59, 197 - 202; Org. Lett. 2022, 24, 2679 - 2683; Org. Biomol. Chem., 2024, 22, 25 - 36). However, this method has the problem of heavy metal residues, which restricts its potential applications, especially in the development and late-stage modification of drug molecules. In 2016, the Knowles group reported that the cation radical obtained after single-electron oxidation of TEMPO-derived alkoxyamine substrates was further cleaved to obtain carbocation intermediates (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016, 55, 9969 - 9973). However, this substrate needs to be further synthesized, and this method is not applicable to the generation of primary carbocations. In recent years, the polarity inversion strategy has been applied to the field of carbocation synthesis. Using redox-active esters in situ generated from carboxylic acids or benzyl C-H bond substrates, carbon radicals are obtained through single-electron reduction or hydrogen atom transfer processes, and then the carbon radicals are oxidized by the reduced photocatalyst to generate carbocations for subsequent reactions (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 1211 - 1216; Nature Commun. 2023, 14, 6856; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 9493 - 9500; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2023, 145, 3861 - 3868). In 2022, the Yoon group used an equivalent amount of copper salt to stabilize and oxidize the generated carbon radicals to form carbocations for decarboxylative coupling reactions (Nat. Chem. 2022, 14, 94 - 99).

[0003] The key to the success of these photocatalytic reactions for generating carbocations lies in the stabilization of the generated carbon radical intermediates by metal salts or reduced photocatalysts and the subsequent single-electron oxidation in the second step to obtain carbocations. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a novel, mild and efficient method for generating carbocations and then coupling with various nucleophiles. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Aiming at the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for photocatalytically generating carbocations from thiol compounds and coupling with nucleophiles. This method can directly desulfurize thiol compounds to generate carbocations under photocatalytic conditions, and then the carbocations can couple with various nucleophiles to complete the construction of C-C bonds or other C-heteroatom bonds (C-N bonds, C-O bonds, C-S bonds). The whole process is simple, efficient, green and economical.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention include:

[0006] The present invention discloses a method for photocatalytically generating carbocations from thiol compounds and coupling with nucleophiles, and the method includes the following steps:

[0007] Add a photocatalyst, a thiol compound, and a nucleophile to an organic solvent to obtain solution A;

[0008] In an oxygen-containing environment, irradiate solution A with a light source. Under the action of the photocatalyst, the thiol compound desulfurizes to generate a carbocation, and then the carbocation couples with the nucleophile.

[0009] Further, the thiol compound is selected from the compounds having the structure shown in formula I:

[0010]

[0011] Wherein, R1, R2, and R3 are each independently selected from any one of H, C1-C 20 alkyl, aryl, C1-C 12 alkoxy, COO t Bu, allyl, F, Cl, Br.

[0012] The present invention realizes the coupling reaction between thiol compounds and nucleophiles for the first time under photocatalytic conditions, and efficiently converts the C-S bond in thiol compounds into C-C (such as arylindole compounds) or other C-hetero bonds (C-N bond, such as arylsulfonamide compounds; C-O bond, such as arylalkyl ethers, arylalkyl alcohols, aryl esters; C-S bond, such as aryl sulfides). The specific process of this coupling reaction is as follows: under visible light irradiation, the thiol compound is oxidized by the excited photocatalyst to obtain a sulfur radical and a reduced photocatalyst. Oxygen in the oxygen-containing environment returns the reduced photocatalyst to the ground state. The sulfur radical dimerizes to obtain a disulfide compound, and the disulfide compound is oxidized by the excited photocatalyst to a disulfide compound cation radical. The disulfide radical cation undergoes heterolytic cleavage of the C-S bond to obtain a carbocation, a carbon radical and a by-product S8. The carbon radical couples with the sulfur radical to obtain a thioether. The thioether can also undergo heterolytic cleavage to generate a carbocation and a sulfur radical. Finally, the obtained carbocation undergoes a coupling reaction with various nucleophiles to obtain the desired product.

[0013] Further, the aryl is selected from any one of substituted or unsubstituted phenyl and substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl, and the substituent is selected from any one of alkyl, alkoxy, F, Cl, and Br.

[0014] Further, the thiol compounds are selected from one or more of 1-phenylethanethiol, 1-adamantanethiol, 1-(naphthalen-2-yl)ethane-1-thiol, 1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethane-1-thiol, 1-(2-methylphenyl)ethane-1-thiol, 1-(3-methylphenyl)ethane-1-thiol, 1-(4-methylphenyl)ethane-1-thiol, 1-(4-chloro)phenylethanethiol, 1-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethane-1-thiol, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-thiol, 1-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)ethane-1-thiol, diphenylmethanethiol, tert-butylthiol, 4-methoxybenzylthiol, 4-tert-butylbenzylthiol, and 1-naphthalenemethanethiol.

[0015] Further, the nucleophile is selected from the structures shown in any one of the following formulas II-1 to II-8:

[0016]

[0017] In formula II-1, R4 and R5 are each independently selected from any one of H, alkyl, aryl, and alkoxy;

[0018] In formula II-2, R6, R7, and R8 are each independently selected from any one of H, OMe, t Bu, i Pr, Et, and Me;

[0019] In formula II-3, R9 is selected from any one of H, alkyl, aryl, and alkoxy;

[0020] In formula II-4, R 10 is selected from any one of H, alkyl, aryl, and alkoxy;

[0021] In formula II-5, R 11 is selected from H or alkyl;

[0022] In formula II-6, R 12 , R 13 , R 14 , R 15 , R 16 , R 17 and R 18 are each independently selected from any one of H, aryl, alkoxy, alkyl, methanol group, allyl, and Cl;

[0023] In formula II-7, R 19 and R 20 are each independently selected from any one of H, CHO, COMe, COOMe, and COOEt, and X1 and X2 are each independently selected from N or C;

[0024] In formula II-8, R 21 is selected from alkyl or aryl.

[0025] Furthermore, the nucleophile is selected from one or more of p-toluenesulfonamide, 4-fluorobenzenesulfonamide, p-cyanobenzenesulfonamide, cyclopropanesulfonamide, thiophene-2-sulfonamide, naphthalene-1-sulfonamide, N-methylbenzenesulfonamide, 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide, p-toluenesulfonamide, 3,5-difluorobenzenesulfonamide, benzenesulfonamide, benzoic acid, p-methylbenzoic acid, p-tert-butylbenzoic acid, p-fluorobenzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, water, anisole, p-tert-butylbenzenethiol, N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)indole, valproic acid, probenecid, celecoxib, and aspirin. It has been found through experiments that for drug molecules such as valproic acid, probenecid, celecoxib, and aspirin, they can also undergo a coupling reaction with thiol compounds to obtain new compound molecules. Therefore, this method has potential application value in the modification of drug molecules.

[0026] The photocatalyst in the present invention can catalyze and cycle this reaction process as long as its oxidation potential is appropriate. Those skilled in the art are capable of selecting a suitable photocatalyst, and the present invention does not make specific limitations in this regard. Exemplarily, the photocatalyst is selected from 9-mesityl-10-phenylacridin-10-ium tetrafluoroborate (Mes-Acr-Ph + BF4 - ), 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium perchlorate (Acr + -Mes ClO4- ) one or more of 2,4,5,6-tetrakis(9-carbazolyl)isophthalonitrile (4CzIPN), 2,4,5,6-tetrakis(diphenylamino)isophthalonitrile (4DPAIPN), eosin Y, rhodamine 6G (Rh 6G), anthraquinone (AQ), fluorescein, bis[2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine][2-2'-bi(4-tert-butylpyridine)]iridium bis(hexafluorophosphate) (Ir[dF(CF3)ppy]2(dtbpy)PF6), tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium (Ir(ppy)3), and (4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine)bis[(2-pyridyl)phenyl]iridium(III) hexafluorophosphate ([Ir(dtbbpy)(ppy)2]PF6).

[0027] The organic solvent in the present invention only provides a solution environment for the reactants. Those skilled in the art are capable of selecting a suitable organic solvent, and the present invention does not make specific restrictions thereon. Exemplarily, the organic solvent is selected from one or more of dichloroethane, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, methanol, acetone, hexafluoroisopropanol, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and tetrahydrofuran.

[0028] Furthermore, the light source is selected from one or more of sunlight, fluorescent lamp, mercury lamp, and LEDs; the visible light wavelength provided by the light source is 200 - 800 nm; preferably 380 - 780 nm.

[0029] Furthermore, the reaction temperature of the coupling reaction can be any temperature. Exemplarily, it can be 0 - 60 °C, preferably 10 - 35 °C; the time for the light source to irradiate solution A is 2 - 36 h, and it can be 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 7 h, 8 h, 9 h, 10 h, 11 h, 12 h, 13 h, 14 h, 15 h, 16 h, 17 h, 18 h, 19 h, 20 h, 21 h, 22 h, 23 h, 24 h, 25 h, 26 h, 27 h, 28 h, 29 h, 30 h, 31 h, 32 h, 33 h, 34 h, 35 h, 36 h, etc.

For example, it can be 0.05 - 0.1:1:1, 0.05 - 0.1:2:1, 0.05 - 0.1:3:1, 0.05 - 0.2:1:1, 0.05 - 0.2:2:1, 0.05 - 0.2:3:1, etc.

[0031] In the technical solution of the present invention, an oxygen gas is required as an oxidant to participate in the coupling reaction. The source of oxygen can be directly using the oxygen in the air atmosphere. Therefore, the reaction system only needs to be connected to the atmosphere, or it can also be continuously introducing an oxygen-containing gas to participate in the reaction process.
