Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic chemistry, and more specifically to a method for synthesizing benzothiophene coupling products using a non-metallic "anchoring-migration" strategy. Background Technology
[0002] Benzothiophenes are an important core scaffold for drugs, widely found in pharmacologically active organic molecules. Although their derivatives exhibit diverse biological activities, the number of successfully marketed drugs based on the benzothiophene scaffold is significantly fewer compared to its structural analogue, indole. This is because benzothiophenes are chemically more inert than indole, thus posing a significant challenge to the efficient construction of complex molecular libraries using them as basic building blocks.
[0003] Currently, the direct modification of benzothiophene mainly relies on transition metal catalytic systems, achieving cross-coupling with halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons through inert C-H bond activation. Taking C2-position arylation as an example, typical conditions involve using aryl bromide as the coupling agent, in a system catalyzed by palladium / substituted 1,10-phenanthroline complex (DPP-NNC Pd), with potassium carbonate as the base and tert-amyl alcohol as the additive, reacting at 150°C for 20 hours in dimethylacetamide solvent, to introduce the aromatic ring into the C2 position of benzothiophene. Similarly, by changing the catalytic conditions, the aromatic ring can also be selectively modified at the C3 position of benzothiophene. For example, using aryl iodine as the coupling target, Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 as the catalyst, silver carbonate as the additive, and hexafluoroisopropanol as the solvent, a reaction of 16 hours can yield C3-arylated benzothiophene derivatives with high selectivity. However, this type of method requires the use of expensive palladium metal and ligands, and relies on bases or other additives. It suffers from problems such as high cost of catalysts and ligands, metal residues, harsh reaction conditions, limited substrate applicability, and poor selectivity, which seriously restrict the large-scale synthesis and development of benzothiophene drugs.
[0004] In addition, existing studies have reported a method for arylizing benzothiophene at the C2 and C3 positions through interrupted pummerer reaction and [3,3]-migration strategy. However, the substrates for this method are mainly limited to the arylization of phenols and enyne compounds, which restricts its application. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for synthesizing benzothiophene coupling products using a non-metal-involved "anchor-migration" strategy. This invention offers a novel method for the C2-position arylation of benzothiophene, using benzothiophene compounds or benzothiophene sulfoxide compounds as substrates. These compounds undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction with an aryl nucleophile in the presence of an anhydride activator to obtain a benzothiophene sulfonate. Subsequently, the benzothiophene sulfonate is mixed with an organic solvent, and selective arylation of the C2 position of benzothiophene is achieved through a metal-free intramolecular migration reaction to obtain the benzothiophene coupling product. The preparation conditions of this invention are mild and the operation is simple. It replaces the traditional "oxidative addition-reductive elimination" process with an "anchor-migration" strategy and eliminates the need for precious metal catalysts, complex ligands, strong bases, or inert gas protection. This fundamentally solves the problems of high cost, metal residue, harsh reaction conditions, and limited substrate applicability associated with existing technologies, providing a green, efficient, and economical preparation route for constructing benzothiophene molecular libraries.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: The first objective of this invention is to provide a method for synthesizing benzothiophene coupling products using a non-metal-involved "anchoring-migration" strategy, comprising the following steps: S1. Using benzothiophene compounds or benzothiophene sulfoxide compounds as reaction substrates, the reaction substrates are mixed with aryl nucleophiles in the presence of an anhydride activator and solvent, and a nucleophilic substitution reaction is carried out to obtain benzothiophene sulfonate. During the nucleophilic substitution reaction, the SO bond of the benzothiophene sulfoxide compound is highly polar, and the oxygen atom readily donates electrons, enhancing the electrodeficient nature of the sulfur atom. This invention uses an electron-deficient anhydride to capture electrons from the oxygen atom, causing the SO bond to break and generating the activated form of benzothiophene. After activation, the electrophilicity of the sulfur atom is significantly enhanced, and the nucleophile can transfer its electrons to the sulfur atom, forming a new covalent bond with the sulfur atom through the nucleophilic substitution reaction, thus achieving anchoring between the two molecules.
[0007] S2. The benzothiophene sulfonate salt is mixed with an organic solvent and subjected to a metal-free intramolecular migration reaction to form a carbon-carbon bond at the C2 position of benzothiophene, thus obtaining the benzothiophene coupling product.
[0008] The technical approach of this invention is as follows: When the aryl nucleophile is a 4-hydroxycoumarin compound, the technical route is as follows: .
[0009] When the aryl nucleophile is selected from 1,3-cyclopentanedione, 1,3-cyclohexanedione, thiophene, toluene, anisole, piperonyl ring, or mesitylene, the technical route is as follows: .
[0010] Preferably, the solvent in S1 is selected from at least one of dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and acetonitrile.
[0011] Preferably, the acid anhydride activator is selected from trifluoroacetic anhydride or trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride.
[0012] Preferably, the organic solvent in S2 is selected from at least one of N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, toluene, and acetonitrile.
[0013] Preferably, the nucleophilic substitution reaction conditions are: stirring at -40°C or -78°C for 0.5 h to 1 h. According to literature methods, when using trifluoroacetic anhydride, the reaction is generally initiated at -40°C, then moved to room temperature and stirred for 0.5 h; when using trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride, the reaction is initiated at -78°C, then moved to room temperature and stirred for 1 h.
[0014] A second objective of this invention is to provide a benzothiophene coupling product obtained by the above preparation method.
[0015] A third objective of this invention is to provide a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound prepared by photocyclization reaction of the above-mentioned benzothiophene coupling product.
[0016] Preferably, the photocyclization reaction is carried out under the following conditions: at room temperature, under light with a wavelength of 365nm~455nm and an intensity of 15W for 2h~6h.
[0017] Preferably, the cyclization reaction takes place in an air atmosphere or an argon atmosphere; more preferably, the cyclization reaction takes place in an argon atmosphere.
[0018] Preferably, the solvent for the cyclization reaction is selected from acetonitrile, toluene, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, DMF, DMSO or NMP.
[0019] A fourth objective of this invention is to provide the application of the aforementioned polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the preparation of optoelectronic materials.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention provides a method for synthesizing benzothiophene coupling products using a non-metal-involved "anchoring-migration" strategy. Using benzothiophene compounds or benzothiophene sulfoxide compounds as reaction substrates, the reaction substrates are mixed with an aryl nucleophile in the presence of an anhydride activator and solvent, and a nucleophilic substitution reaction is carried out to obtain benzothiophene sulfonium salts. The benzothiophene sulfonium salts are then mixed with an organic solvent, and a metal-free intramolecular migration reaction is carried out. After the carbon-hydrogen bond at the C2 position of the benzothiophene sulfonium salt is polarized, the α-carbon fragment of the aryl nucleophile migrates from the sulfur atom to the C2 position, while CS... +The bond breaks, and a new C-C bond is eventually formed at the C2 position of the benzothiophene sulfonate to obtain the benzothiophene coupling product; the intramolecular migration reaction is carried out under the following conditions: stirring at 90℃~150℃ for 3h~24h.
[0021] Compared to traditional coupling strategies, this invention uses a simple "anchor-migration" strategy to synthesize benzothiophene coupling products, avoiding the traditional "oxidative addition-reductive elimination" process. The reaction process of this invention does not require transition metals and ligands, nor does it require pre-activation of the coupling target, which significantly reduces the preparation cost of various types of benzothiophene derivatives, simplifies the synthesis steps, eliminates the problem of metal residues, and enables the green, efficient and low-cost preparation of more types of benzothiophene molecules.
[0022] 2. The benzothiophene coupling product of the present invention is a new compound molecule in which benzothiophene is linked to other aromatic nucleophiles or drug-dominant backbone molecules (such as coumarin and antipyrine) through a C2-C2 bond, and has potential drug activity.
[0023] 3. Based on the benzothiophene coupling product, this invention further constructs a polycyclic heteroaromatic compound with both benzothiophene and coumarin dual skeletons through a one-pot tandem reaction. This process utilizes the intramolecular cyclization of the C3 aryl group and C2 coumarin structure of the benzothiophene coupling product to efficiently form a rigid planar polycyclic conjugated structure. These polycyclic heteroaromatic compounds not only retain the pharmacological activity potential of the benzothiophene skeleton but also possess excellent photoelectric properties due to the extended conjugated system, demonstrating dual application value in the fields of organic light-emitting diodes, fluorescence sensing, and the development of antitumor drug lead compounds. Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the data in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] It should be noted that the technical terms used in this invention are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention. Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in the following embodiments of this invention can be purchased commercially or prepared by existing methods. Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials, solvents, etc., used in the experiments are commercially available chemical raw materials and chemical reagents. Among them, trifluoroacetic anhydride is denoted as TFAA; the reaction substrates in this invention include benzothiophene compounds or benzothiophene sulfoxide compounds, wherein benzothiophene compounds 1a, 1d, 1i, 1j, and 1k are commercially purchased, and the commercial reagents used are used directly without further purification; 1b, 1c, 1e, 1f, 1g, and 1h are prepared according to the literature " Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. The compounds were prepared from "2022, e202203908", and all of them are known compounds.
[0026] .
[0027] Benzothiophene sulfoxide compounds are referenced from " J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62 "7926-7936", and obtained through in-situ oxidation, the technical route is as follows: This includes the following steps: Benzothiophene (1.0 equivalent) and BF3·Et2O (8.0 equivalent) were dissolved together in CH2Cl2 (0.1 mol / L) under N2 protection to obtain a reaction solution; the oxidant was then added at -20℃. m -CPBA (1.02 equivalents) dissolved in a small amount of CH2Cl2 to give m -CPBA solution; m -CPBA solution was added dropwise to the reaction solution in three batches, with each batch 30 min apart, to obtain a mixture. After the reaction solution was completely consumed by TLC, the mixture was quenched and neutralized successively with saturated K2CO3 solution and solid K2CO3 at -20℃. Then, it was filtered through a double-layer filter of anhydrous Na2SO4 and K2CO3, and the filter cake was washed with CH2Cl2. The resulting filtrate was the benzothiophene sulfoxide solution.
[0028] For benzothiophene sulfoxide compounds without substitution at both C2 and C3 positions, the resulting filtrate is unstable during post-treatment concentration. Therefore, it is used directly as a starting material for the next reaction, such as the method in the examples for preparing benzothiophene coupling products using 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and 1e as reaction substrates.
[0029] For benzothiophene sulfoxide compounds with substituents at the C2 or C3 positions, the resulting filtrate can be concentrated under reduced pressure to remove most of the CH2Cl2. Therefore, a small amount of petroleum ether is added to the filtrate, and after the solid precipitates, it is filtered and washed with petroleum ether to obtain benzothiophene sulfoxide compounds, such as 2a, 2c, 2d, 2j, 2k, and 2l.
