Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical synthesis, and particularly discloses a method for constructing heterocyclic chiral pyrrolidine through asymmetric reductive amination. Background Art

[0002] (S)-Nicotine is a natural alkaloid found in tobacco. Its molecular formula is C 10 H 14 N2, with a chiral center, is the most physiologically active of the optically active forms of nicotine. Its structure consists of a pyridine ring and a pyrrolidine ring. It primarily exists in nature in the left-handed form, accounting for over 99% of total nicotine. L-nicotine is widely found in plants of the Solanaceae family, particularly in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and wild tobacco (Nicotiana rustica), and is the primary active ingredient in nicotine products. It is typically extracted through acid-base treatment of tobacco followed by distillation and is widely used in neuropharmacology research and in tobacco products.

[0003] Patent CN114230553A proposes a method for synthesizing heterocyclic compounds containing chiral tertiary amines, such as L-nicotine:

[0004]

[0005] Intermediate 2 is cyclized in an acidic organic solvent with the metal complex catalyst of Zhaophos and [Ir(COD)Cl]2 to obtain compound 3.

[0006]

[0042] Advantages of the present invention:

[0043] The present invention is a further improvement of CN114230553A.

[0044] The present invention develops a method for constructing heterocyclic chiral pyrrolidines through asymmetric reductive amination. The method uses an L8 ligand complexed with an Ir metal precursor as a catalyst. The ZhaoPhos-based bisphosphine ligand L8 works synergistically with the iridium catalytic precursor to exhibit excellent catalytic activity and enantioselectivity. Compared with the primary amine substrate used in patent CN114230553A, the reaction uses a secondary amine as a nitrogen source, which expands the scope of application of the synthesis, simplifies the synthesis steps in patent CN114230553A, improves atom utilization, simplifies a two-step reaction into a one-step reaction, and reduces the amount of feed.

[0045] Intramolecular asymmetric reductive amination using secondary amines as nitrogen sources was achieved, leading to the direct synthesis of heterocyclic compounds containing chiral tertiary amines ((S)-Nicotine). By using a catalyst obtained by combining the spatially optimized ligand L8 with an iridium metal precursor, the catalyst exhibited excellent enantioselectivity for heterocyclic compounds of chiral tertiary amines (up to 99% ee) and broad substrate tolerance, effectively generating a variety of chiral nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, including biologically significant nicotine alkaloid derivatives.

[0046] The use of additives Ti(OiPr)4 and AgN(Tf)2 greatly reduces the production cost, and the turnover number TON of the catalyst is greatly improved, which can reach 1440. Compared with the existing technology, the service life of the catalyst is increased and the catalyst input is reduced, which reduces the production cost compared with the existing technology CN114230553A.
