Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for synthesizing ether- or amide-substituted aromatic heterocyclic derivatives under photoelectro-co-catalysis. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocycles, such as isoquinoline, quinoline, phthalazine, and benzothiazole, and their derivatives, constitute an important class of heterocyclic compounds that play a vital role in the pharmaceutical field, exhibiting various biological activities such as antibacterial, antimalarial, antitumor, anti-AIDS, anti-inflammatory, and antidepressant effects. Furthermore, ethers and amides, such as tetrahydrofuran / thiophene, are widely used in medicinal chemistry due to their excellent physicochemical properties and are important functional groups in many active pharmaceutical molecules.
[0003]
[0004] While current cross-dehydrogenation coupling (CDC) strategies can introduce ether or amide structures to achieve the functionalization of nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocycles, they rely on highly active metal catalysts (such as Cu, Ni, and Ag) or stoichiometric oxidants (such as peroxides). Furthermore, efficient conversion requires the use of large excess amounts of ether or amide substrates (typically as solvents, reaching 50-100 equivalents), limiting the technology to reactions with simple aliphatic ethers (such as tetrahydrofuran and 1,4-dioxane) and making it incompatible with pharmaceutical molecular skeletons containing complex functional groups (such as chiral centers and multiple substitution sites). Previously, the MacMillan group designed a photoredox-mediated C–H functionalization pathway, successfully achieving the direct arylation of cyclic and acyclic ethers with heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 1565–1569). However, this synthetic method uses expensive iridium catalysts, resulting in high costs. Subsequently, a series of HAT reagents, including BPO, TBHP, selectfluor, and DDQ, have been explored and applied. However, they exhibit weak regioselectivity, and for asymmetric ethers such as 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, they tend to simultaneously generate products substituted at different sites. Previously, the research team had achieved the photocatalytic synthesis of alkylamide-substituted benzo[a]aromatic heterocyclic derivatives using N-methylpyrrolidone as a substrate (Green Chem. 2021, 23, 5753–5758.), but this method is not applicable to ether substrates. Summary of the Invention

[0091] Add 4-bromoisoquinoline (104 mg, 0.5 mmol), pyrrolidone (1 mL, 13.2 mmol), Co(4,4′-Me2bpy)3(PF6)2 (27 mg, 0.03 mmol), trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, 115 μL, 1.5 mmol), lithium perchlorate (LiClO4, 159 mg, 1.5 mmol), and dichloroethane (5 mL) to a pre-dried 10 mL three-necked flask (equipped with a magnetic stirrer, carbon felt anode, and platinum cathode). After sealing the reaction vessel with a rubber septum and sealing film, purge with argon for 5 minutes. Irradiate the reaction system at room temperature with two 25 W LED lamps (light wavelength 390–400 nm) and apply a constant voltage of 1 V for 30 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was quenched in 20 mL of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The carbon felt anode was ultrasonically washed with ethyl acetate for 5 min. The combined solutions were extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude product. The crude product was purified on a silica gel column using dichloromethane / methanol at a volume ratio of 20:1 to obtain the target product (87 mg, yield 60%).
