Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heterocyclic compound technology, specifically relating to a fluorinated indole derivative and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Fluorinated indole derivatives are a class of fluorinated heterocyclic compounds with significant biological activity and broad application prospects, demonstrating unique advantages in innovative drug development. These compounds combine the rigid planarity of the indole core with the enhanced electronic effects, lipophilicity, and metabolic stability resulting from the introduction of fluorine atoms, making them widely used in various therapeutic areas such as antitumor, antiviral, central nervous system disease treatment, and anti-inflammatory applications. Studies have shown that the introduction of fluorine atoms can significantly modulate the pK ratio of the molecule. a Fluorinated indole molecules, with their high molecular weight, membrane permeability, and ability to interact with biological targets, readily bind with key targets such as kinases and G protein-coupled receptors, forming high-affinity binding bonds. Fluorinated indole drugs exhibit superior pharmacokinetic properties while maintaining high activity; for example, lead compounds with fluorinated indole skeletons, such as Ladostigil, have entered preclinical or clinical research stages. However, despite the significant potential of fluorinated indole derivatives in enhancing drug-like properties, their synthesis still faces multiple challenges, including difficulties in constructing carbon-fluorine bonds, poor regioselectivity, and challenges in stereocontrol, especially in achieving three-dimensional structural diversity modifications while maintaining planar aromaticity. Therefore, developing efficient and highly selective cyclization functionalization strategies for fluorinated indole has become an important research direction at the intersection of synthetic chemistry and medicinal chemistry.

[0003] Chinese patent CN112724065A discloses a method for synthesizing 2-fluoroindole compounds. The method involves adding an o-aminochalcone compound, ethyl bromodifluoroacetate, a base, and an organic solvent into a pressure-resistant, sealed reaction vessel. The mixture is stirred and reacted at 50-100°C for 10-15 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling the resulting material to room temperature, ethyl acetate is added and thoroughly mixed. The mixture is then filtered and washed with ethyl acetate to obtain an organic phase. The organic solvent in the organic phase is evaporated, and the mixture is then purified and washed with an eluent to obtain the 2-fluoroindole compound. However, this patent relies on high-temperature and high-pressure reaction conditions, resulting in high energy consumption, long reaction time, and operational difficulties. Furthermore, it only allows for monofluorine atom substitution at the 2-position of indole and cannot construct a polycyclic molecular skeleton. Summary of the Invention

[0026] ,

[0027] Among them, R 1 Including -H or -CH3, R 2 Includes one of -H, -COOMe, or -NO2;

[0028] Specifically, the steps include the following:

[0029] (1) Add 80-82 mL of LDMF to a dry 250 mL round-bottom flask, then add 43.5-44 mmol of commercially available NaH (60%), followed by slowly adding 28.5-28.8 mmol of indole derivative A to obtain a suspension; add 20-22 mL of LDMF to a dry 250 mL round-bottom flask, then add 72.5-72.8 mmol of compound B, and under stirring, slowly add the suspension dropwise through a dropping funnel. After the addition is complete, stir the reaction at room temperature for 30-35 minutes, and then perform thin-layer chromatography. The reaction was detected by TLC (using a mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate in a volume ratio of 5:1 as the developing solvent). After the reaction was completed, water was added to quench the reaction and the mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel. 100-102 mL of dichloromethane was added to the separatory funnel, and the mixture was washed with water (80 mL × 4 times) to remove DMF, yielding an organic phase.

[0033] (2) The raw materials used in this invention are inexpensive, the synthesis route is mature, the yield is high, and the raw materials are stable and do not require special storage, which is in line with the concept of green chemistry.

[0034] (3) The fluorinated indole derivative in this invention exhibits a good inhibitory effect on HepG2 liver cancer cells: the indole ring can bind to the active sites of related proteins in HepG2 liver cancer cells through π-π stacking and hydrophobic interactions, interfering with their normal function; the oxo-heterocyclic ring and the adjacent five-membered ring increase the structural rigidity and conformational diversity of the molecule, which is beneficial to the spatial adaptability of the molecule to the target active pocket and enhances the stability of the binding between the two. 1 -CH3 or R 2 When the atom is -COOMe or -NO2, the oxygen heterocycle and the adjacent five-membered ring can also be fluorine atoms with R. 1 Groups or fluorine atoms with R 2 The precise binding of functional groups provides structural support, preventing conformational distortion of the molecule. Furthermore, oxygen in the oxygen heterocycle can participate in hydrogen bond formation, further enhancing the interaction strength between the molecule and the target. Fluorine in fluorinated indole derivatives can enhance the lipophilicity of the molecule, increase cell membrane permeability, making it easier for the compound to enter the cell and exert its effects. Simultaneously, fluorine can form electrostatic interactions with polar residues of the target protein, strengthening the binding force between the molecule and the target and improving molecular metabolic stability. When R... 1 -CH3 or R 2 When R is -COOMe or -NO2, 1 Group or R 2 Groups can adjust the spatial fit between the molecule and the target active pocket, stabilizing the preferred conformation by filling hydrophobic regions or steric hindrance. Meanwhile, R... 1 Group or R 2 The functional group, through its own electronic effects and the high electronegativity of the fluorine atom, synergistically modulates the molecular electron cloud, achieving precise electron cloud polarization. This, in turn, enhances the π-π stacking efficiency between the indole ring and the target site, optimizes the electrostatic interaction between the fluorine atom and the target residue, and further stabilizes the R group. 1 Group or R 2 Groups participate in the molecular conformation after electron cloud regulation, preventing electron cloud redistribution and facilitating R 1 Group or R 2 The functional groups continuously and stably exert electronic regulation, thereby ensuring the specificity and stability of the compound's binding to the target.

[0035] (4) This invention combines palladium radical reaction with photocatalysis, using difluoroalkyl bromide as the reaction starting point to initiate difluoroalkyl radical at room temperature. The radical undergoes cross-coupling / tandem cyclization reaction with alkenyne derivatives to efficiently construct fluorinated indole derivatives with complex structures.
