Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of asymmetric protonation reaction technology of chiral primary amine catalyzed β-amino ketone derivatives, and specifically relates to a method for synthesizing chiral β-amino ketone derivatives. Background Technology
[0002] β-aminoketone derivatives play an important role in medicinal chemistry and organic chemistry as important components of active drug molecules and organic synthesis intermediates. Examples include phenbutazone, which can be used in anti-tumor research; cispentylmycin, which treats fungal infections; levodopa, which treats Parkinson's disease; and paclitaxel, an anticancer drug.
[0003] The most atom-economical method for synthesizing β-aminoketone derivatives is the direct Aza-Michael addition reaction of aromatic amines to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Current reports on asymmetric reactions of this type are limited, primarily employing chiral metal complex catalysis. One literature report (Org. Lett.:2004, 6:1861-1864) describes a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric Aza-Michael / Protonation reaction of aromatic amine trifluoromethanesulfonates to α,β-unsaturated imide substrates, yielding excellent product yields (97% ee). Another literature report (Chem. Lett.:2019, 48:783) describes a Lewis acid complex surfactant Cu(OSO2C9H) 19 )2 can achieve good enantioselectivity (82% ee). However, these methods all require the use of expensive and toxic metals as catalysts, and there are currently no reports on organocatalyzed reactions of this type. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a method for synthesizing chiral β-amino ketone derivatives. This method efficiently prepares chiral β-amino ketone derivatives through an asymmetric protonation reaction involving organocatalytic α-vinyl ketone compounds and aromatic amine compounds via Aza-Michael addition.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for synthesizing chiral β-amino ketone derivatives, the specific synthesis process of which is as follows: α-vinyl ketone compounds, aromatic amine compounds, and a chiral primary amine catalyst are dissolved in a low-polarity organic solvent and reacted at 20–80°C to obtain chiral β-amino ketone compounds. The chemical reaction equations in the preparation process are as follows:
[0006]
[0007] Where R1 is a phenyl or a substituted phenyl group, and the substituent on the substituted phenyl group is C. 1-6 Alkyl group, R2 is C1-6 Alkyl group, where Ar is a phenyl group, a substituted phenyl group, or a naphthyl group, and the substituent on the substituted phenyl group is C. 1-6 Alkyl, methoxy, fluorine, chlorine, or bromine, wherein the chiral primary amine catalyst comprises:
[0008]
[0009] Furthermore, the reaction temperature is preferably room temperature.
[0010] Furthermore, the low-polarity organic solvent is one or more of 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform, trichloroethane, acetonitrile, or ethanol.
[0011] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the α-vinyl ketone compound, the aromatic amine compound, and the chiral primary amine catalyst is 1.5–3:1:0.1.
[0012] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the α-vinyl ketone compound, the aromatic amine compound, and the chiral primary amine catalyst is 2:1:0.1.
[0013] A method for synthesizing a chiral β-amino ketone derivative, the specific synthetic steps of which are as follows: 0.01 mmol of chiral primary amine catalyst, 0.2 mmol of α-substituted vinyl ketone, and 1 mL of 1,2-dichloroethane solvent are added sequentially to a 5 mL graduated test tube and stirred at room temperature. Subsequently, 0.1 mmol of an aromatic amine compound is dissolved in 1 mL of 1,2-dichloroethane solvent and added to the reaction system. The reaction is stirred continuously. After the reaction is completed by TLC monitoring, the chiral β-amino ketone compound is directly separated by column chromatography.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: The effectiveness of the present invention is reflected in the fact that, by using a chiral primary amine catalyst, the asymmetric protonation reaction of organocatalyzed α-vinyl ketone compounds and aromatic amine compounds via Aza-Michael addition is realized for the first time to prepare chiral β-amino ketone derivatives. This avoids the use of expensive and toxic metal catalysts in the current synthesis of chiral β-amino ketone derivatives. At the same time, the synthesis method of the present invention can obtain good yield and moderate enantioselectivity. Detailed Implementation

Then, 0.1 mmol of aromatic amine compound was dissolved in 1 mL of 1,2-dichloroethane solvent and added to the reaction system. The reaction was stirred and continued. After the reaction was completed by TLC monitoring, the chiral β-amino ketone compound was directly separated by column chromatography.
