Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of asymmetric synthesis in organic chemistry, specifically relating to a method for preparing chiral lactams by desymmetricization of a pre-chiral cyclic ketone via organocatalysis. Background Technology
[0002] Chiral lactams are a vital class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with significant applications in chiral pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, pesticides, and materials science. Furthermore, chiral lactams can be diversely derivatized into highly valuable chiral compounds, making them among the most frequently occurring structures in drug molecules. However, current strategies require the use of noble metal catalysts or specific pre-defined functional groups, resulting in lengthy synthetic substrate steps, harsh reaction conditions, and substantial consumption of chiral reagent equivalences. Consequently, these methods have very limited practical value for large-scale production.
[0003] Therefore, developing new strategies for efficient and highly selective chiral lactams is of great significance for constructing structurally diverse chiral lactam derivatives. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Furthermore, the chiral catalyst is selected from... , , , One of them.
[0007] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the prochiral cyclic ketone to sulfonyl hydroxylamine is 1:(1.2 - 3.0).
[0008] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the chiral catalyst to the pre-chiral cyclic ketone is 5% - 20%.
[0009] Furthermore, when the solvent is a mixture of chlorobenzene and diethyl ether, the volume ratio of diethyl ether to chlorobenzene is 1:(1-4).
[0010] Further, the method for preparing chiral lactams by the desymmetricization of a prochiral cyclic ketone via organocatalysis is as follows: First, the organic solvent is divided into two parts; under stirring conditions, a chiral catalyst, as well as one of the prochiral cyclic ketone and the sulfonyl hydroxylamine, are added to the reaction vessel, followed by the addition of the first part of the organic solvent to prepare solution A, and cooled to the reaction temperature; the other of the prochiral cyclic ketone and the sulfonyl hydroxylamine is dissolved in the second part of the organic solvent to prepare solution B; while maintaining the reaction temperature, solution B is added dropwise to solution A in batches, with an interval of 5-10 minutes between each batch, and the chiral lactam is obtained after the reaction is completed.
[0011] Furthermore, the desymmetric nitrogen atom insertion reaction is carried out in the presence of a base, which is an inorganic base; the molar ratio of the base to the prochiral cyclic ketone is 0-3.0.
[0012] Furthermore, the inorganic base is sodium bicarbonate.
[0013] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the base to the prochiral cyclic ketone is 2.0.
[0014] Furthermore, the method also includes separating and purifying the crude product using silica gel column chromatography, wherein the eluent for the silica gel column is a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol, wherein the volume ratio of dichloromethane to methanol is between 50 and 100.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages: This invention relates to a method for the desymmetrization of pre-chiral cyclic ketones to prepare chiral lactams via organocatalysis. The method employs chiral phosphoric acid, chiral phosphoramide, or their salts as catalysts, achieving the desymmetrization nitrogen atom insertion reaction of four- to six-membered pre-chiral cyclic ketones under low-temperature to room-temperature conditions. This method can construct a chiral lactam skeleton with high optical purity in one step. It eliminates the need for transition metal catalysts, utilizes commercially available catalysts in small quantities, employs readily available reactants, simplifies post-processing, and exhibits excellent stereoselectivity of the product. It overcomes the limitations of traditional Beckmann rearrangement-type reactions in terms of substrate applicability, providing an economical synthetic method for the synthesis of chiral drugs or fine chemicals, and has broad application prospects.
