Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fine chemical synthesis, specifically relating to a method for photoinduced organocatalytic bifunctional cyclization of alkynes and its application in preparing compounds. Background Technology

[0002] Nitrogen-containing heterocycles are a very common pharmacodynamic group in drug research and are one of the important targets for small molecule drug development today. In recent years, most of the top-selling branded drugs worldwide have nitrogen-containing heterocyclic skeletons. The antibacterial, antitumor, and other physiological activities of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, as well as their important significance in basic theoretical and applied research, have made the synthesis of these compounds and the study of their chemical and biological properties a hot topic in organic chemistry and related fields. Therefore, developing a new method for the efficient synthesis of imidazopyridone compounds is of great significance. It can not only provide important synthetic intermediates for imidazopyridone derivatives, but the synthesized imidazopyridone compounds themselves can also be used for physiological activity screening.

[0003] Imidazolidine compounds are a class of nitrogen-containing fused heterocyclic compounds with wide applications in the pharmaceutical, pesticide, and dye industries. Common imidazopyridine compounds include imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine, imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine, and imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine, with imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and its derivatives being the most numerous and widely used. Several marketed drugs contain imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffolds, such as the clinical anti-ulcer drug soraprazine, the anxiolytic alpidem, the sedative zolpidem, and the PDE inhibitor olprinone. Imidazol[1,2-a]pyridine compounds also exhibit a variety of biological activities and can be used as insecticides, fungicides, anti-inflammatory analgesics, and antipyretics. Imidazolidine compounds have attracted widespread interest due to their specific physiological activities and structural similarities to indole, nitrogen-containing indole, and other compounds. The benzothiochrome skeleton is a very valuable and advantageous structure. The non-selective β-receptor blocker Tertatalolol and the anti-inflammatory drug Tazarotene both contain benzothiochrome groups, and their derivatives have development potential in the treatment of various diseases such as cancer, inflammation, and infection.

[0004]

[0005] This patent develops a visible-light catalytic functionalization method for imidazolium [1,2-a]pyridinones via a continuous-flow photocatalytic sequence involving alkyne / nitrile insertion / cyclization. This method is simple, efficient, and operates under mild reaction conditions with high atom economy, requiring no metals or additives. Furthermore, compared to traditional photochemical reactions, continuous-flow photochemical microreactors offer advantages such as shorter reaction times and higher yields, demonstrating significant advantages and promising applications in practical production and industrial scale-up. The imidazopyridinone compounds prepared in this invention also exhibit antibacterial activity, showing potential for antibacterial applications. Summary of the Invention

[0130] Antibacterial test:

[0131] This invention tested novel antibacterial compounds, compounds 3a to 3f, as shown in Table 3. Their in vitro inhibitory activity against two types of bacteria was investigated using a two-fold dilution method. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0132] Test strains: Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. (All bacteria were purchased from the Dermatology Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China)

[0133] Preparation of bacterial culture: Transfer the fully developed test strain to 5 mL of sterile physiological saline, crush it, sonicate it, shake it thoroughly to remove lumps of insoluble matter, mix it well, and use it as the original bacterial culture. When testing, adjust its concentration to 106 cells / mL before use.

[0134] Experimental Method: The test compound was dissolved in an appropriate amount of dimethyl sulfoxide, then diluted with sterile distilled water, and added to sterilized Luria Bertani medium. The sample concentrations were 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.125 mg / mL. After inoculation with the test bacteria, the mixture was incubated in a constant temperature oven for 2-7 days. The highest dilution concentration in which no bacteria grew was taken as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).

[0135] The experimental results (Table 4) show that the novel antibacterial compounds have varying degrees of inhibitory activity against bacteria.

[0137]

[0138] This invention fully demonstrates that it not only provides a novel synthetic route, but also yields an antibacterial compound with promising applications through this route.

[0139] Comparative Example 1: The reaction was carried out using a conventional reaction flask.

[0140] At room temperature and under nitrogen protection, 5,10-bis(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-5,10-dihydrophenazine (14.1 mg, 0.03 mmol, 0.1 equivalent), phenylacetylene (98.7 μL, 0.9 mmol, 3.0 equivalent), N-(benzothiophene-2-methylene)-2-bromo-N-cyano-2-methylpropionamide (101.4 mg, 0.3 mmol, 1.0 equivalent), Et3N (45.9 μL, 0.33 mmol, 1.1 equivalent), and solvent 1,4-dioxane (6 mL) were added to a 10 mL reaction tube. The reaction tube was stirred under a blue light lamp (30 W, 220 V, LED, wavelength 420 nm-430 nm) for 6 h. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was separated by chromatography on silica gel using a 5:1 eluent of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate to obtain the desired product 3a. Conversion rate 49%, Ms = 461.1683 g / mol.

[0141] Comparative Example 2: Reactions without the application of a light source

[0142] At room temperature, 5,10-bis(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-5,10-dihydrophenazine (14.1 mg, 0.03 mmol, 0.1 equivalent), phenylacetylene (98.7 μL, 0.9 mmol, 3.0 equivalent), N-(benzothiophene-2-methylene)-2-bromo-N-cyano-2-methylpropionamide (101.4 mg, 0.3 mmol, 1.0 equivalent), and Et3N (45.9 μL, 0.33 mmol, 1.1 equivalent) were dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (6 mL) to obtain a homogeneous solution. This homogeneous solution was pumped into a microchannel reactor at a flow rate of 0.1 mL / min. The solution was retained for 30 min in a light-protected microchannel reactor, and the eluent was collected in a sample flask. The results showed that product 3a could not be obtained, proving that a light source is a necessary condition for the reaction.
