Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis, specifically to a synthetic method for preparing chiral N-tert-butylsulfonamide compounds by manganese-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of N-tert-butylsulfonamide compounds. Background Technology

[0002] Chiral amines are a very important class of organic synthetic intermediates, playing a crucial role in both scientific research and industrial production. [(a) Kobayashi, S.; Ishitani, H. Chem. Rev. 1999, 99, 1069-1094. (b) McAllister, SD; Rizvi, G.; Anavi-Goffer, S.; Hurst, DP; Barnett-Norris, J.; Lynch, DL; Reggio, PH; Abood, MEJ Med. Chem. 2003, 46, 5] 139-5152.(c)Dorta, R.;Broggini, D.;Stoop, R.;Rüegger, H.;Spindler, F.;Togni, A. Chem. Eur. J. 2004, 10, 267-278.(d)Wang, A.;Prouty, CP;Pelton, PD;Yong, M.;Demarest, KT;Murray, WV;Kuo, G.-H. Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2010, 20, 1432-1435.]. Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of imines is one of the most direct and efficient routes for the preparation of chiral amines. Over the past few decades, noble metal catalytic systems based on Rh, Ru, Ir, and Pd have been widely used in the asymmetric hydrogenation of imines [(e) Tang, W.; Zhang, X. Chem. Rev. 2003, 103, 3029-3070. (f) Zhang, W.; Chi, Y.; Zhang, X. Acc. Chem. Res. 2007, 40, 1278-1290. (g) Johnson, NB; Lennon, I C; Moran, PH; Ramsden, J.Acc. Chem. Res. 2007, 40, 1291-1299.(h) Xie, J.-H.; Zhu, S.-F.; Zhou, Q.-L. Chem. Rev. 2011, 111, 1713-1760.(i) Zhang, Z.; Butt, NA; Zhang, W. Chem. Rev. 2016, 116, 14769-14827.]. However, the extremely low abundance of these precious metals on Earth, their high cost, and their high biotoxicity largely limit their application value. In contrast, abundant transition metal catalysts have the advantages of being inexpensive, low-toxicity, and environmentally friendly in asymmetric catalysis. Therefore, the development of asymmetric hydrogenation of imines catalyzed by abundant metals has broad application prospects.

[0003] In 2021, Liu Qiang et al. first achieved manganese-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of imines using chiral PNN ligands [(j)Liu,C.;Wang,M.;Liu,S.;Wang,Y.;Peng,Y.;Lan,Y.;Liu,Q.Angew.Chem.,Int.Ed.2021,60,5108-5113.]. Subsequently, they successively achieved the asymmetric hydrogenation of various imines using a manganese / chiral PNN ligand catalytic system [(k)Liu,C.;Wang,M.;Xu,Y.;Li,Y.;Liu,Q.Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.2022,61,e202202814.(l)Liu,C.;Liu,X.;Liu,Q.Chem 2023,9,2585-2600.(m)Wang,M.;Liu,S.;Liu,H.;Wang,Y.;Lan,Y.;Liu,Q.Nature 2024,631,556-562.]. Furthermore, Clarke et al. also achieved the asymmetric hydrogenation of in-situ formed imines using manganese / chiral PNN ligands [(n)Oates, CL; Goodfellow, AS; Buhl, M.; Clarke, ML. Green Chem. 2023, 25, 3864-3868.]. However, these reports are limited to electron-rich imines, and highly stereoselective asymmetric hydrogenation of electron-deficient N-sulfonyl imines has not been achieved. Based on this, we developed a method using Mn(CO)5Br and chiral PNN ligands as catalysts to obtain chiral amine compounds with high yields (up to 99%) and high ee values ​​(up to >99%) through the asymmetric hydrogenation of N-tert-butylsulfonyl imines.
