Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic synthetic chemistry, and in particular to application of sulfoximine as a hydrogen atom transfer catalyst in photocatalytic carbon-carbon bond construction. Background Art
[0002] In the field of organic synthetic chemistry, the coupling reaction of heteroatom ortho-CH bonds with electron-deficient olefins remains at the core of modern synthetic methodology research due to its unique value in molecular scaffold construction and functionalization. This reaction mode directly activates inert CH bonds, which are difficult to access with traditional strategies, avoiding the tedious pre-functionalization steps and providing an attractive route for the efficient synthesis of complex molecules such as natural products, pharmaceuticals, and functional materials.
[0003] In recent years, breakthroughs have been made in nitrogen-centered hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reagent systems, such as quinuclidine derivatives, azides, and 1,2,3-triazolium amides. These reagents, with their high electrophilicity, exhibit a certain ability to functionalize aliphatic C-H bonds intermolecularly, enabling the selective activation of inert C-H sites that are difficult to achieve with traditional strategies.
[0004] However, existing HAT reagents have several significant shortcomings. For one thing, their oxidation potential is too high. This is because the molecular structure of the reagent determines the distribution of the electron cloud, requiring a high energy level to excite the reaction. This not only increases the energy consumption and cost of the reaction, but can also lead to side reactions, reducing the selectivity and yield of the reaction. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a method for using a sulfoximine as a hydrogen atom transfer catalyst in photocatalytic carbon-carbon bond construction. Under photocatalytic conditions, a coupling reaction between a heteroatom ortho-C-H bond and an electron-deficient olefin is achieved. The present invention utilizes readily available electron-deficient olefins and heteroatom ortho-C-H bonds as raw materials, eliminating the need for any additives and achieving the coupling reaction via a simple synthetic route. The coupling products synthesized using the present method have promising development potential and application prospects in the fields of organic synthesis and biopharmaceutical materials.
