Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, and in particular to a method for synthesizing indole[3,2-c]coumarin compounds. Background Art

[0002] Coumarin compounds and their derivatives, a class of organic compounds widely found in nature, play an important role in drug development, natural product research, and biological research. Among them, indole[3,2-c]coumarin, as a key member of the polycyclic coumarin derivatives, is an important pharmacophore skeleton in medicinal chemistry, exhibiting a variety of excellent biological activities, such as anti-tumor, angiogenesis inhibition, estrogen-like activity, antifungal, anticoagulant, and anti-HIV activities. Therefore, indole[3,2-c]coumarin plays a vital role in various fields, including medicine, fragrances, food, and agriculture. With in-depth research on its biological activity and mechanism of action, its outstanding performance and advantages have made it a major force in the pharmaceutical market, promising to bring greater benefits and higher quality to related industries.

[0003] The synthesis of indole[3,2-c]coumarin is a complex process. The existing synthesis methods include the following: (1) using 4-azido-3-arylcoumarin as the starting material, thermodynamic cyclization is carried out at 150 ° C to synthesize indole[3,2-c]coumarin; however, the preparation process of the starting material 4-azido-3-arylcoumarin in this route is tedious and complicated, and the thermodynamic cyclization at high temperature will lead to the formation of by-products, which will affect the purity and yield of the product; (2) using iodine indole derivatives as raw materials, and using palladium Catalytic glycosylation / lactonization reaction is used to efficiently synthesize natural coumestrol, coumestrol and related analogues; however, the glycosylation / lactonization reaction needs to be carried out under specific temperature and pressure conditions to ensure the smooth progress of the reaction and the stability of the product; at the same time, this route will produce a variety of by-products, making it difficult to obtain the product efficiently; (3) Coumarin compounds are constructed using metal copper-mediated / microwave-assisted CO lactonization reaction; however, the precursors of coumarin compounds have poor adaptability in this synthesis method, which limits the scope of application of this method.

[0004] In summary, the various synthetic methods for indolo[3,2-c]coumarins mentioned above all suffer from common problems such as difficult starting materials, expensive reagents, demanding reaction conditions, poor substrate versatility, and inconvenience in industrial production. Furthermore, the synthesis of indolo[3,2-c]coumarins using transition metal catalysis is often limited by drawbacks such as difficult screening conditions, low reaction yields, and environmental concerns, resulting in significantly reduced yields and insufficient purity of the final products. Therefore, the development of a more efficient, stable, environmentally friendly, and easily controllable synthetic method for indolo[3,2-c]coumarins is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for synthesizing indole[3,2-c]coumarin compounds.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for synthesizing an indole[3,2-c]coumarin compound, comprising the following steps: taking a compound I represented by formula (I), a palladium catalyst, an oxidant, and a co-oxidant, adding carbon monoxide to react to obtain an indole[3,2-c]coumarin compound represented by formula (II);

[0010] In the synthesis method of indole[3,2-c]coumarin compounds of the present invention, 2-aryl substituted indole derivatives are used as substrates. Under the action of carbon monoxide gas and palladium catalyst, they are oxidized by an oxidant and a co-oxidant to cause intramolecular carbon-hydrogen activation / oxidative carbonylation reaction, thereby directly constructing an indole[3,2-c]coumarin ring with good biological activity in one step. During the entire reaction process (reaction mechanism see Figure 2 ), first, the C3 carbon-hydrogen bond of the indole ring and the palladium catalyst undergo electrophilic palladium reaction to obtain palladium intermediate A; then, intermediate A reacts with carbon monoxide gas to obtain intermediate B, and intermediate B then undergoes intramolecular alcoholysis reaction to obtain the target product indole [3,2-c] coumarin compound; at the same time, the divalent palladium catalyst is reduced to zero-valent palladium through a reduction elimination process, and under the action of a co-oxidant, the oxidant oxidizes the zero-valent palladium to divalent palladium, thereby entering the next catalytic cycle.

[0173] By comparing the results of the examples with comparative examples 1-13, it can be found that although common divalent palladium can also obtain the target product, it is not conducive to the occurrence of the oxidative carbonylation reaction, and its catalytic efficiency is low, resulting in an unsatisfactory yield of the target product. At the same time, the type of oxidant also has a great influence on the reaction itself. Oxygen (O2) has a low oxidation efficiency as an oxidant, while the strong oxidant DDQ will cause the substrate to be over-oxidized. However, the 1,4-benzoquinone used in the examples of the present invention is relatively conducive to obtaining the target product without the occurrence of over-oxidation.

[0192] The only difference between the synthesis method described in this comparative example and that in Example 1 is that in step (6), toluene is replaced by diethylformamide (DEF), and the yield of the obtained product is 9%.

[0193] The above comparative examples 17-22 respectively screened a series of common high-boiling point solvents, and found that the toluene of the present invention was the most conducive to the occurrence of the reaction as the solvent.

[0194] Comparative Example 23:

[0195] The only difference between the synthesis method described in this comparative example and that in Example 1 is that in step (6), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium is not used, and the yield of the obtained product is 0%.

[0196] Comparative Example 24:

[0197] The only difference between the synthesis method described in this comparative example and that of Example 1 is that in step (6), the molar amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium is 5% of the molar amount of compound 7, and the yield of the product is 50%.

[0198] The results of the above Examples and Comparative Examples 17-22 demonstrate that the amount of transition metal palladium catalyst plays a significant role in the reaction. The optimal reaction activity was achieved when the amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium was 10% of the molar weight of compound 7. Without the addition of the transition metal palladium catalyst, the reaction did not occur. Furthermore, even with increasing amounts of the transition metal palladium catalyst, the reaction yield did not increase.

[0199] Comparative Example 25:

[0200] The only difference between the synthesis method described in this comparative example and that in Example 1 is that in step (6), the reaction temperature is 30° C. and the yield of the obtained product is 0%.

[0204] The only difference between the synthesis method described in this comparative example and that in Example 1 is that in step (6), the reaction temperature is 90° C. and the yield of the product is 30%.

[0205] The results of the above examples and comparative examples 25-27 show that temperature plays a decisive role in the reaction. When the temperature is lower than 60°C, no target compound can be detected.

[0206] It can be seen from the above examples that the synthesis method of the present invention reduces the reaction steps and greatly shortens the process time and production cycle of indole [3,2-c] coumarin compounds; the raw materials used are easily available, the reaction conditions are mild, and there is no need to use hazardous reagents such as NaN3; at the same time, the three wastes generated in the process are small, the process is environmentally friendly, and suitable for green large-scale production. It is an efficient, environmentally friendly and easy-to-control green synthesis method.
