Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for the CH 3,3-difluoroallylation of 1,2-dihydroquinoxaloline-2-one derivatives. Background Technology

[0002] Photochemistry, as an important branch of chemistry, has demonstrated significant value in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry in recent years. The precise construction of specific chemical bonds using photocatalysis has become one of the key research directions in this field. This technology is widely used not only in natural product synthesis, drug discovery, radioactive labeling, bioconjugation, and the development of functional materials, but also attracts considerable attention from the academic community due to its green and efficient characteristics.

[0003] Organic photoreaction technology uses light energy as a driving force. Through the absorption of photons of specific wavelengths by molecules, electrons undergo transitions, forming excited-state species, thereby initiating and propelling chemical reactions. This technology, with its advantages of mild reaction conditions, few byproducts, and high selectivity and efficiency, provides strong support for the development of green synthetic pathways. In recent years, continuous innovation in photoreaction technology has not only expanded the strategic dimensions of organic synthesis but also opened up new avenues for the construction of complex molecules. Its rapid application has become an important development trend in the field of synthetic chemistry.

[0004] Fluorine atoms, with their unique physicochemical properties and biological effects, endow fluorine-containing molecules with key functions in medicine, pesticides, and materials. Numerous fluorine-containing structural units have become indispensable frameworks for constructing functional molecules [Wang, J.; Sánchez-Roselló, M.; J,L.; del Pozo,C.; Sorochinsky,AE; Fustero,S.; Soloshonok,VA and Liu,H. Chem. Rev. 2014,114,2432; Meanwell,NA J Med. Chem. 2018,61,5822]. Among these, geminal difluoroene structures have attracted widespread attention due to their superior pharmacological activity. For example, the antiepileptic drug Seletracetam [Matagne,A.; Margineanu,D.-G.; H. Potschka,W.; W.; Michel, P.; Kenda, B. and Klitgaard, H., Eur. J. Pharmacol. 2009, 614, 30–37] Dehydrogenase I inhibitors associated with diabetes treatment [Braun, A.; Gussregen, S.; Mougeto, P.; Namane, C.; Nicolai, E.; Pacquet, F.; Philippo, C.; Venier, O.; Crespin, O.; Pascal, C. and Aletru, M. WO2008000950A2] all contain this fragment. In addition, gemini difluoroolefins are also widely used as bioisosteres of carbonyl groups to optimize drug metabolic stability and activity [Magueur, G.; Crousse, B.; Ourévitch, M.; Bonnet-Delpon, D. and Bégué, J.-PJ Fluorine Chem. 2006, 127, 637–642; Li, Y.; Nie, W.; Chang, Z.; Wang, J.-W.; Lu, X. and Fu, Y.; Nat. Catal. 2021, 4, 901–911]. In synthetic chemistry, geminofluoroolefins are also an important class of fluorine-containing building blocks that can be efficiently converted into multifunctionalized structures such as trifluoromethyl, monofluoroolefins and difluoromethylene [Zhang, X. and Cao, S.; Tetrahedron Lett. 2017, 58, 375–392; Fujita, T.; Fuchibe, K. and Ichikawa, J. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2019, 58, 390–402], further expanding the structural diversity of fluorine-containing molecules.

[0005] 3-Bromo-3,3-difluoropropene (BDFP) can serve as an important initiating agent for geminal difluoroallylation reactions. Under transition metal catalysis, BDFP can undergo cross-coupling reactions with organometallic reagents to efficiently construct biologically active geminal difluoroallyl structural units. Given the wide applications of geminal difluoroallyl fragments in organic industries and bioactive molecules, developing efficient synthetic methods for them is of great significance.

[0006] Currently, the construction of difluoroolefin structural units mainly relies on a transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling strategy [Ni, J.;Zhao, H.;Zhang, A.Org Lett.2017,19,3159.;Li, C.;Zhang, D.;Zhu, W.;Wan P and Liu H.Org.Chem.Front.,2016,3,1080.;Li, J.;Hong, C.;Niu, Y.;Wang, B.;Xiong, W.and Jiang H.Chem Asian J.2023,18,e202300579]. However, traditional metal-catalyzed methods suffer from high catalyst costs and limited resources, low tolerance to sensitive functional groups, and the need for multiple steps in the difluoroallylation process due to the coexistence of difluorine and olefins to construct the target molecular structure.

[0007] In summary, there is an urgent need in the field for a synthetic method that can achieve the 3,3-difluoroallylation reaction in a mild and efficient manner. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a novel method for the CH 3,3-difluoroallylation of 1,2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one derivatives. This method not only exhibits good stability but also features one-step synthesis and simple operation, providing a novel synthetic reference for similar target compounds. Compared to traditional metal-catalyzed methods, the photo-redox catalytic strategy of this invention demonstrates significant advantages in the synthesis of gem-difluoroallyl compounds, including simple steps, mild reaction conditions, economical and readily available catalysts, and good functional group compatibility. Therefore, developing new photocatalytic methods for introducing gem-difluoroallyl groups has broad research prospects and application potential in the field of organic synthesis.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a method for the CH3,3-difluoroallylation of 1,2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one derivatives. The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0010] A method for the CH 3,3-difluoroallylation of a 1,2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one derivative includes the following steps:

[0011]

[0012] Using 1,2-dihydroquinoxaline-2-one derivatives and 3-bromo-3,3-difluoro-1-propene as coupling agents, a coupling reaction was carried out under visible light conditions in an environment of inorganic base and organic amine, catalyzed by a photo-redox catalyst, to obtain the compound shown in Formula II.

[0013] In the formula: X is arbitrarily selected from alkyl, phenyl, propenyl, hydroxyalkyl, haloalkyl, protected aminoalkyl, and acetate; Y1 and Y2 are both arbitrarily selected from H, halogen, and trifluoromethyl.

[0014] In some embodiments, the photo-oxidation-reduction catalyst is selected from 4CzIPN, 4DPAIPN, or 4CzTPN.

[0015] In some embodiments, the organic amine is N,N-diisopropylethylamine or triethylamine.

[0016] In some embodiments, the inorganic base is selected from potassium carbonate or cesium carbonate.

[0017] In some embodiments, the visible light is blue light with a wavelength range between 410 nm and 470 nm.

[0018] In some embodiments, the reaction steps include: mixing a 1,2-dihydroquinoxaline-2-one derivative and an inorganic base in an organic solvent; adding a catalyst, an organic amine, and 3-bromo-3,3-difluoro-1-propene to the reaction solution; carrying out a coupling reaction under blue light; and separating and purifying the coupling reaction product to obtain the CH 3,3-difluoroallylated product of the 1,2-dihydroquinoxaline-2-one derivative.

[0019] In some implementations, the method further includes the step of quenching the photocatalytic coupling reaction by opening the reaction vessel and using water.

[0020] In some implementations, the method further includes the step of: at the end of the photocatalytic coupling reaction, the reaction solution is preferentially diluted in ice water before proceeding to the next step.

[0021] In some embodiments, the method further includes the steps of separating and purifying the coupling reaction product, including extraction, washing, and column chromatography.

[0022] In some embodiments, the organic solvent is selected from any one or a combination of several of methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, ethyl acetate, N,N-dimethylacetamide, tert-butanol, and 1,4-dioxane.

[0023] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the compound represented by Formula I to the catalyst 4CzIPN and the organic amine is 1:(0.003-0.1):(0.08-0.2); the molar ratio of the compound represented by Formula I to 3-bromo-3,3-difluoro-1-propene is 1:(1.8-3); and the molar ratio of the compound represented by Formula I to the inorganic base is 1:(1.5-3).

[0024] In some implementations, the reaction temperature is 25°C-65°C and the reaction time is 4-16 hours.

[0025] Compared with traditional technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0026] 1) This invention proposes a novel photocatalytic method for the coupling of 3-bromo-3,3-difluoro-1-propene and 1,2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one derivatives. Using 1,2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one derivatives and 3-bromo-3,3-difluoro-1-propene as coupling fragments, and catalyzing the reaction with 4CzIPN as a photoredox catalyst, the C-H3,3-difluoroallylization of the 1,2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one derivative is achieved. This coupling reaction is economical and environmentally friendly, using readily available and inexpensive raw materials, and rapidly yielding the coupling product through photocatalysis. The synthetic method is highly efficient and has significant value and potential in drug synthesis, providing an effective synthetic method for similar target compounds.

[0027] 2) This invention addresses the synthetic requirements of the 3,3-difluoroallylization reaction. Through radical capture experiments, the generation pathway of the difluoroallyl radical was verified, providing crucial mechanistic support for photoredox catalysis strategies. Compared to traditional transition metal catalysis methods, this invention offers the following significant advantages: mild reaction conditions, avoiding substrate functional group degradation; simple and efficient steps, with TEMPO capture experiments confirming the radical chain reaction mechanism, overcoming the cumbersome drawbacks of multi-step reactions; more importantly, the catalyst used in this invention is economical and readily available, with lower costs than metal catalysts; and it exhibits excellent functional group compatibility and high intermediate stability, compatible with protecting sensitive groups such as aminoalkyl and trifluoromethyl groups.

[0028] In traditional synthetic techniques, substances containing difluoroolefin structural units cannot simultaneously contain both olefins and difluorine in the reaction steps. This is because the free radicals formed when difluorine and olefins coexist are unstable and difficult to act on the reaction substrate. However, this invention innovatively synthesizes the CH3,3-difluoroallylated product of a 1,2-dihydroquinoxalin-2-one derivative under mild one-step reaction conditions. This not only overcomes the limitations of easy decomposition and difficulty in directional reaction of free radicals when difluorine groups coexist with olefins, but also verifies the existence of a stable state of difluorine and olefin free radicals, providing a green synthetic route for drug molecules containing gem-difluoroallyl structures (such as antitumor / antiviral compounds). Detailed Implementation

[0035] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for the CH3,3-difluoroallylation of a 1,2-dihydroquinoxaloline-2-one derivative is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0036]

[0037] Using 1,2-dihydroquinoxaline-2-one derivatives of Formula I and 3-bromo-3,3-difluoro-1-propene as coupling agents, a coupling reaction was carried out under visible light conditions in an environment of inorganic base and organic solvent, catalyzed by a photoredox catalyst; where:

[0038] X is arbitrarily selected from alkyl, phenyl, propenyl, hydroxyalkyl, haloalkyl, protected aminoalkyl, and acetate; Y1 and Y2 are both arbitrarily selected from H, halogen, or trifluoromethyl.

[0039] In some embodiments, the alkyl group of X can be a C1-C12 alkyl group, which can be a straight-chain alkyl group, a branched alkyl group, or a cyclic alkyl group, specifically such as methyl, ethyl, or phenylcyclohexane. The hydroxyalkyl group can be a C2-C12 carbon chain hydroxyl group. The benzene ring substituent is phenyl or benzyl. The protected aminoalkyl group is a carbamate attached to a C2-C12 carbon chain, which can be tert-butyl carbamate (CH2CH2NHBoc); for acetate esters, it can be tert-butyl acetate. The haloalkyl group is bromobutyl.

[0040] Based on this, the 1,2-dihydroquinoxaline-2-one derivatives are based on electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups attached to the 1, 6, or 7 positions of 1,2-dihydroquinoxaline-2-one, or are replaced by lipid-soluble or water-soluble groups, which reflects the richness of the substrates applicable to this invention.

[0041] In some embodiments, the photo-oxidation-reduction catalyst is 4CzIPN, 4DPAIPN, 4CzTPN, or other photoinitiators with similar effects. The organic amine is N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA), triethylamine, or other organic substances that can promote electron transfer from the photoinitiator. The inorganic base is selected from potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, or other basic auxiliaries that can promote electron transfer. The organic solvent is selected from any one or a combination of methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, ethyl acetate, N,N-dimethylacetamide, tert-butanol, and 1,4-dioxane. The visible light is blue light with a wavelength range between 410 nm and 470 nm.

[0042] In specific implementation, the reaction steps include: mixing 1,2-dihydroquinoxaline-2-one derivatives and inorganic bases in an organic solvent; adding a catalyst such as 4CzIPN, an organic amine such as N,N-diisopropylethylamine, and 3-bromo-3,3-difluoro-1-propene to the reaction solution; carrying out a coupling reaction under blue light; and separating and purifying the coupling reaction product to obtain the CH 3,3-difluoroallylation reaction product of the 1,2-dihydroquinoxaline-2-one derivative.

[0043] It also includes the steps of: quenching the photocatalytic coupling reaction by opening the reaction vessel and using water; and / or, at the end of the photocatalytic coupling reaction, diluting the reaction solution in ice water before proceeding to the next step.

[0044] The separation and purification of the coupling reaction products includes extraction, washing, and column chromatography.

[0045] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the compound represented by Formula I to the catalyst 4CzIPN and the organic amine is 1:(0.003-0.1):(0.08-0.2); the molar ratio of the compound represented by Formula I to 3-bromo-3,3-difluoro-1-propene is 1:(1.8-3); and the molar ratio of the compound represented by Formula I to the inorganic base is 1:(1.5-3).

[0046] In other embodiments, the reaction temperature is 25°C-65°C and the reaction time is 15-20 hours.

[0047] This invention provides a preliminary exploration of the reaction mechanism of geminal difluoroallylization in the above embodiments. Through a radical scavenging experiment, we successfully detected the presence of difluoroallyl radicals. The specific experimental procedure is as follows: Under standard reaction conditions, 2 equivalents of TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine oxide, as a radical scavenger) were added to the system. The formation of the target product was completely inhibited, and the characteristic intermediate state after the combination of TEMPO and difluoroallyl radicals was detected by LCMS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry). In this invention, light irradiation first generates difluoro radicals, followed by olefin double bond migration to form 3,3-difluoroallyl radicals. This result further confirms the generation pathway of difluoroallyl radicals in the reaction and verifies the existence of a steady state between difluoro and olefin radicals.

[0048]

[0049] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention selected various substrates and conducted the following specific experiments to obtain compounds represented by Formula II in different embodiments:
