Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of chemical technology, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing C-3 substituted quinoxalinone derivatives. Background Art
[0002] The quinoxalinone skeleton widely exists in natural products and drug molecules, and has pharmacological activities such as anti-cancer, antibacterial, and anti-thrombotic, and has broad application prospects in the fields of medicine and pesticides. The C-H bond functionalization reaction of quinoxalinone can efficiently introduce various functional groups, thereby preparing quinoxalinone skeleton compounds with novel structures.
[0003] Currently, in the free radical-mediated C-3 position C-H bond functionalization reaction of quinoxalinone, transition metal-catalyzed or photocatalyzed arylation, amination, acylation, phosphonylation, and polyfluoroalkylation reactions of quinoxalinone can all obtain C3-functionalized quinoxalinone products with high selectivity and high yield. In contrast, the research progress of the direct alkylation reaction of quinoxalinone is relatively slow. According to the difference in the types of alkyl radical precursors, the realized alkylation reactions can be classified into the following categories: 1) The single-electron reduction of cheap metals or photocatalyzed cyclic ketoxime esters generates cyanoalkyl radicals to achieve the cyanoalkylation reaction of quinoxalinone; 2) The oxygen radical-promoted carbon-carbon bond cleavage reaction of cyclic alcohols and cyclic alkyl peroxylsilanes generates ketoalkyl radicals, and then the ketoalkylation reaction of quinoxalinone is achieved; 3) The C-H bond adjacent to oxygen is oxidized by peroxide to obtain alkyl radicals, and then the alkylation reaction of quinoxalinone is achieved; 4) Aliphatic boronic acids, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and redox-active esters obtain alkyl radicals through a single-electron oxidation or reduction process under photocatalysis or electrocatalysis, and the C-H bond alkylation conversion of quinoxalinone is achieved. Although the above free radicals can realize the preparation of alkylated quinoxalinone compounds, the types of available alkyl radical precursors are far from sufficient, which greatly limits the molecular diversity of quinoxalinone derivatives. Therefore, it is very urgent to explore novel and green alkyl radical precursors to generate alkyl radicals containing active groups under mild conditions and attack quinoxalinone to form alkyl-substituted quinoxalinone derivatives.
