Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polymeric materials, in particular to a method for preparing a benzimidazole antibacterial agent by using an ionic liquid functionalized polymeric material as a catalyst. BACKGROUND
[0002] Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of environmentally friendly organic molten salts composed of specific ions. Common cations include [NRxH4-x] + , [RPy] + , [PRxH4-x] + , and anions include BF4 - , PF6 - , and X - (X = F, Cl, Br, I) and the like. Due to their unique properties, ILs are widely used in many organic synthesis reaction systems, such as Friedel-Crafts reaction, Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction, catalytic hydrogenation, and polymerization reaction, etc. In these reactions, ILs play an important role as mediators or catalysts, promoting the continuous development of chemical synthesis.
[0003] Porous organic polymeric materials (POPs) are materials with a porous structure mainly composed of light elements (such as C, H, N, O, B, etc.). They have a series of excellent properties, such as high specific surface area, good adsorption, adjustable pore structure, etc. When ionic liquids are combined with porous organic polymeric materials to form ionic liquid functionalized POPs materials, this new type of material not only inherits the advantages of ionic liquids, but also combines the characteristics of porous organic polymeric materials, thus showing broad application prospects in the field of catalysis and opening up new ways and methods for chemical catalytic synthesis.
[0004] Benzimidazole compounds are a class of bicyclic nitrogen-containing organic compounds with fused benzene and imidazole nuclei. Their unique chemical structure endows them with significant biological antibacterial activity. Based on this property, benzimidazole compounds have become a hot spot in many medical fields and can be used as important precursors for anti-inflammatory drugs, antiviral drugs, and antitumor drugs, which are of great significance for human health. Currently, the main method for synthesizing benzimidazole compounds is condensation reaction using o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) as a reactant. In the reaction process, some inorganic acids such as H2SO4, HNO3 or Lewis acids such as AlCl3 and BF3 are often used as catalysts for preparing benzimidazole compounds. However, these conventional catalysts have many problems in practical application. On the one hand, the catalytic efficiency is low, which makes the reaction rate slow and it is difficult to obtain a large amount of target product in a short time. On the other hand, the actual yield is low, which cannot meet the demand of large-scale production, limiting the widespread application and industrial development of benzimidazole antibacterial agents.
[0005] The following synthetic route is the synthetic route of the existing benzimidazole antibacterial agent:
[0006]
[0007] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the conventional catalyst in the prior art for the preparation of benzimidazole antibacterial agents, the present application aims to provide a new type of catalytic system, which uses an ionic liquid functionalized POP material as a catalyst for the reaction of o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) with aromatic aldehydes containing different substituents (R=Br, Cl, CN) to prepare the corresponding benzimidazole antibacterial agents.

[0066] Blank comparative example
[0067] 2.5 mmol of o-phenylenediamine and 2.0 mmol of benzaldehyde containing a bromine or chlorine or cyano substituent were used as reactants, and were added into a round bottom flask containing 10 mL of ethanol, and were stirred and heated to 80 °C to reflux, and the temperature was kept for 4 h to obtain a benzimidazole antibacterial agent.
[0068] Comparative example
[0069] This comparative example provides a preparation method of a polymer material, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0070] Step one, under N2 atmosphere, 5.5 mmol or 0.963 g of 1,4-p-dichlorobenzene (p-DCX) was added to a round bottom flask containing 40 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE), and heated to 80℃ reflux with stirring to obtain a mixed solution.
[0071] Step two, 5.5 mmol or 0.894 g of anhydrous ferric chloride was added to the above mixed solution, and the stirring reflux was continued at 80℃ for 12 h to obtain a polymeric material semi-finished product.
[0072] Step three, the polymeric material semi-finished product was sequentially cooled and dried: stop heating, cool and suction filtration, the product was washed with methanol (MeOH) for 3 times, extracted by a Soxhlet extractor for 48 h, and dried in a vacuum oven at 60℃ for 24 h to obtain a polymeric material (labeled as POPs-B0).
[0073] The above prepared POPs-B0 was used as a catalyst to perform the synthesis experiment of benzimidazole antibacterial agent according to steps two and three in examples 1, 3 and 4.
[0074] The following table 1 is the reaction yield of the synthesis of benzimidazole antibacterial agent using the ionic liquid functionalized polymeric material POPs as a catalyst:
[0075] Table 1
[0076]
[0077] According to table 1, it can be found that the catalytic performance of the existing benzimidazole antibacterial agent is significantly lower than that of the ionic liquid functionalized polymeric material (such as POPs-B10 or POPs-B20) in the examples of the present application;
[0078] This indicates that N-methyl imidazole (N-MI) is not added during the preparation of the polymeric material, resulting in insufficient catalytic active sites of the material, which cannot efficiently catalyze the reaction of o-phenylenediamine and aromatic aldehyde, thereby verifying the key role of N-methyl imidazole (N-MI) in preparing high-performance catalysts.
[0079] In summary, the present application uses ionic liquid functionalized polymeric material as a catalyst to provide an efficient and environmentally friendly synthesis method of benzimidazole antibacterial agent; compared with the prior art, the catalyst exhibits higher catalytic efficiency and yield, which can reach 87-91%, and has excellent recyclability and reusability; in addition, the catalyst has wide applicability to different substituted aromatic aldehydes, which is conducive to the synthesis of diversified antibacterial agents; the environmentally friendly characteristics further reduce the pollution in the production process; overall, the present application improves the production efficiency and reduces the cost, and also meets the development direction of green chemistry, which has significant economic and social benefits.

Those skilled in the art should be able to understand that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made according to the present application description and drawings should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
