Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically to a method for preparing fluorinated aryl ketone compounds and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Fluorinated organic compounds possess irreplaceable application value in fields such as medicine, pesticides, and functional materials due to their unique physicochemical properties and biological activities. Among them, α-branched fluorinated aryl ketones serve as important fluorinated synthetic building blocks. The trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) in their molecular structure not only significantly improves the lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and bioavailability of the compounds, but also allows for the derivation of various high-value functional molecules through structural modification, showing broad prospects in the research and development of drugs, antitumor agents, and high-performance materials.

[0003] Currently, methods for synthesizing α-branched fluorinated aryl ketones have several limitations: traditional methods rely on cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by transition metals (such as palladium and rhodium), requiring expensive noble metal catalysts, complex ligands, and harsh reaction conditions (high temperature, strong base), resulting in low atom economy; while some photocatalytic methods offer milder conditions, they are limited by specific fluorinated substrates and cannot efficiently accommodate sterically hindered fluorinated alkenes such as α-trifluoromethyl alkenes, and suffer from poor product regioselectivity and low functional group tolerance. Furthermore, existing technologies struggle to precisely control the position of the trifluoromethyl group in the molecule, leading to low yields of the target product and failing to meet the demands of industrial production.

[0004] α-Trifluoromethyl olefins, as an important class of fluorinated synthons, possess unique reactivity due to the synergistic effect of their C=C double bond and trifluoromethyl group. However, the strong electron-withdrawing and steric hindrance effects of the trifluoromethyl group pose challenges to their participation in bifunctionalization reactions, including difficulties in controlling regioselectivity and numerous side reactions. Therefore, developing a mild, efficient, and highly selective method for the synthesis of α-branched fluorinated aryl ketones using α-trifluoromethyl olefins as the core substrate is of great significance for promoting synthetic innovation and industrial applications of fluorinated organic compounds. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0029] (1) This invention uses fluorinated olefins (α-trifluoromethyl olefins) as the core fluorinated substrates, which breaks through the limitations of traditional methods on fluorinated substrates. For the first time, it realizes the efficient three-component coupling of this type of highly sterically hindered olefin with benzoyl cyanide and boric acid, providing a new route for the synthesis of α-branched fluorinated aryl ketones.

[0154] Application Examples

[0155] This embodiment mainly examines the antibacterial properties of fluorinated aryl ketone compounds.

[0156] The antibacterial properties of the fluorinated aryl ketone compounds prepared in Example 1 were evaluated using the following test methods:

[0157] 1. Sample preparation for testing antibacterial materials

[0158] Accurately weigh the sample and prepare sample solutions (using DMSO) with concentrations of 20 mg / mL, 40 mg / mL, and 80 mg / mL, respectively, to test their inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli.

[0159] 2. Preparation of bacterial suspension

[0160] Take a strain of *E. coli* and place it in a test tube. Add 5 mL of culture medium to the test tube and incubate at 37°C for 8 hours. Then, use an inoculation loop to streak the bacterial culture evenly onto nutrient broth agar medium. Incubate the medium for 16 hours to obtain a single *E. coli* colony. Pick a single *E. coli* colony with a pipette tip and incubate it in 5 mL of LB medium at 37°C for 8 hours to obtain the OD. 600 =1.0 bacterial solution.

[0161] 3. Antibacterial zone experiment

[0162] After turning on the ultra-clean hood for 30 minutes, perform aseptic operations. Soak blank drug sensitivity test strips in the sample solution for 5 minutes. Take 40 μL of the test bacterial solution and spread it evenly on nutrient broth agar medium. Then, attach the drug sensitivity test strips soaked in the drug solution to the medium. Incubate the medium in a 37°C incubator overnight and then observe the size of the inhibition zone.

[0163] The antibacterial properties of sample solutions at different concentrations are shown in Table 5. Figure 1 As shown.

[0164] Table 5: Antibacterial Properties

[0165] .

[0166] Table 5 shows that different concentrations of the product have different antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli; the higher the concentration, the stronger the bactericidal effect. This demonstrates that the fluorinated aryl ketone compound prepared in this invention has good antibacterial effects and can be used to prepare antibacterial drugs.

[0167] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several feasible implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention, nor are the embodiments intended to limit the scope of protection in the claims of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. All equivalent implementations or changes that do not depart from the present invention should be included in the technology of the present invention.
