Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical synthesis, and more specifically to a method for synthesizing cyclopentenyl ketones using nickel-aluminum catalysis. Background Technology

[0002] Enantioselective cycloaddition of cyclopropane to π-unsaturated compounds catalyzed by transition metals is an important strategy for constructing common chiral cyclic structures in medicinal chemistry. However, the high C–C bond energy of cyclopropane makes it difficult to activate, resulting in current successful cases mainly focusing on intramolecular reactions requiring multi-step preparation, while the development of intermolecular cycloaddition is significantly insufficient.

[0003] To achieve intermolecular cycloaddition, cyclopropanes typically require pre-activation to weaken the C–C bonds. This can be achieved by introducing highly ring-strained cyclopropenes or dicarboxylic acid esters like vinylcyclopropanes with strong electron-withdrawing groups. However, for more readily available, weakly activated cyclopropanes (such as cyclopropyl carbonyl / amine / alcohol / alkanes), achieving high enantioselectivity remains extremely challenging despite the existence of various racemic methods. The key challenge lies in the lack of chiral catalytic systems capable of precise stereocontrol under the drastic conditions of C–C bond breaking.

[0004] Cyclopropyl ketones have attracted considerable attention due to the synthetic utility of their carbonyl groups and their presence in numerous bioactive molecules. Despite their effectiveness, this radical pathway requires multi-substituted cyclopropanes to stabilize key radical intermediates, making it incompatible with more common, less substituted analogs. Therefore, developing highly efficient enantioselective cycloaddition catalytic systems for unmodified cyclopropyl ketones remains an unsolved challenge. Furthermore, the electrophilicity of the ketone carbonyl group in cyclopropyl ketones leads to rapid racemization of the α-tertiary chiral center under high-temperature / Lewis acid reaction conditions, making high enantioselectivity a significant hurdle despite the development of various racemic cycloaddition systems since 2006.

[0005] In summary, although the cycloaddition reactions of cyclopropylamides and polysubstituted cyclopropanes to construct cyclopentenyl ketones have been reported, the construction of cyclopentenyl ketones via the cycloaddition reaction of unmodified simple cyclopropyl ketones remains an unsolved problem. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for the synthesis of cyclopentenyl ketones using nickel-aluminum catalysis, in order to solve the problems of limited substrate structure, harsh reaction conditions, and easy racemization of products in existing technologies.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A method for synthesizing cyclopentenyl ketones using nickel-aluminum catalysis, characterized by the following reaction formula and reaction process:

[0009]

[0010] In a nitrogen atmosphere, secondary phosphine oxide ligand PO, metal catalyst Ni(cod)2, solvent, raw material A, and raw material B are added to a reaction vessel. Then, a Lewis acid is added, and the mixture is stirred at a specified reaction temperature. After the reaction is complete, an aqueous solution of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate is added for washing. The mixture is separated, and the organic phase is dried and separated by column chromatography to obtain the target product C or D.

[0011] R, R 1 and R 2 Each is independently selected from aryl and alkyl groups;

[0012] The molar ratio of the secondary phosphooxyligand PO, the metal catalyst, the Lewis acid, and the raw material A is (0.05-0.3):(0.05-0.3):(0.1-0.8):1.

[0015] Preferably, R 2 It can be n-propyl, acetoxypropyl, phenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl, 4-trimethylsilylphenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, ethyl or methyl.

[0016] In the above reaction, the secondary phosphooxy ligand is a chiral dinitrogen-substituted secondary phosphooxy ligand with the following structural formula:

[0017] ,

[0018] Alternatively, a non-chiral dinitrogen-substituted secondary phosphooxy ligand may be used, with the following structural formula:

[0019] .

[0020] The Lewis acid is an organoaluminum compound, an organozinc compound, or an organomagnesium compound. Preferably, the organoaluminum compound is trimethylaluminum; the organozinc compound is diethylzinc; and the organomagnesium compound is dibutylmagnesium.

[0021] The solvents mentioned above are nonpolar, moderately polar, or polar solvents, and the amount of solvent used is 0.5–5 mL / mmolA. Preferably, the nonpolar solvent is toluene or n-hexane, the moderately polar solvent is tetrahydrofuran or 1,4-dioxane, and the polar solvent is dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0022] In the above reaction, the specified reaction temperature is 20–120 °C; the stirring time is 10–1440 minutes; and the organic phase is dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate.

[0023] Preferably, the molar ratio of raw material B to raw material A is (1-3):1.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The substrates used in this invention have a wide range of applicability, including arylcyclopropyl ketones, heteroarylcyclopropyl ketones, alkylcyclopropyl ketones, as well as aryl alkynes, functionalized alkyl alkynes, and asymmetric alkynes. The reaction is highly tolerant to the functional groups of the substrates, and gram-scale reactions have been successfully carried out, making it suitable for the late-stage modification of complex molecules (such as drug molecules).

[0026] 2. This invention constructs cyclopentenyl ketones by activating the C-C bonds of cyclopropyl ketones without any atom loss, thus exhibiting high atom economy and step economy.

[0027] 3. The Ni–Al bimetallic synergistic catalytic system of this invention can achieve high enantioselectivity control under mild conditions. Through the synergistic regulation of ligands and solvents, it can effectively suppress the racemic enolization of ketones and the side reactions caused by Lewis acids, achieving a yield of up to 99% and an ee of 99%, demonstrating extremely high reaction efficiency and stereocontrol ability.
