Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic compound synthesis technology, specifically relating to a fluoroalkyl-substituted pyrrole compound and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Pyrrole is not only a key structural unit in many bioactive compounds, but also an important building block in materials chemistry (Chem. Rev. 2008, 108, 264-287). Therefore, its synthesis methods have attracted widespread attention. With the increasing importance of fluorinated compounds in the pharmaceutical and materials fields, developing efficient and precise synthetic strategies for fluorinated pyrrole has become a research hotspot (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2019, 2339-2343). A common method is to introduce fluorinated units using substrates with various substituents. However, preparing a series of starting materials is usually quite cumbersome and time-consuming, which is not in line with green chemistry. Furthermore, controlling reaction selectivity is crucial for the synthesis (Org. Lett. 2024, 26, 6197-6202).

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this invention innovatively develops a novel method for the synthesis of fluoroalkyl pyrroles. This method, through a base-promoted defluorination cyclization reaction of fluoroalkyl peroxides and p-cyanobenzylamine, successfully overcomes the technical bottleneck of traditional methods in terms of regioselectivity control. The technical solution of this invention has the following significant advantages: it eliminates the need for expensive metal catalysts, significantly reducing production costs; the reaction conditions are mild, allowing for efficient operation in an air atmosphere; and it uses triethylenediamine and potassium phosphate as bases, selectively activating C(sp) sites on specific carbon sites on the fluoroalkyl chain. 3 The use of α-F bonds enables excellent chemoselectivity and regioselectivity; it also exhibits broad functional group compatibility and excellent atom economy. Therefore, this invention provides a novel synthetic route for fluoroalkylpyrrole compounds, solving a long-standing technical challenge in this field and providing crucial technical support for the development of fluorinated drugs and functional materials.

[0100] The product yield was calculated to be 35%.

[0101] Example 6

[0102] Example 6 is basically the same as Example 1, except that in step (1), N-methylpyrrolidone is used as the solvent and the base is different, as shown in Table 1 below:

[0111] As can be seen from Table 2, under the same reaction conditions, using a solvent such as tert-butanol ( t The yields of BuOH, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), water (H2O), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and toluene were low; the yield was 42% with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); 46% with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF); 43% with N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA); and 36% with acetonitrile (MeCN).

[0122] Application Examples

[0123] Compounds b, c, d, e, and i obtained in the above implementation examples were subjected to preliminary anti-human breast cancer cell (MDA) activity tests, and cell viability was determined by measuring ATP levels. The test method was as follows: exponentially growing cells (PANC-1 cell line / 4 × 10³ cells / 100 μL / well) were incubated with the test compounds for 48 hours. The test compounds were started at a concentration of 0.1 μM and increased to 1000 spots by 3-fold dilution in intact culture medium, and incubated at 37°C in a humidified CO2 and 95% air incubator. Control wells without the compounds were also included in the experiment. The stock solution of the compounds was initially dissolved in DMSO and then further diluted with PBS. After incubation, 20 μL of CTG reagent was added to each well. The wells were then shaken for 7 minutes and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. Readings were recorded as absorbance at 570 nm on a microwell reader. Cytotoxic effects are expressed as a 50% lethal dose, which is the concentration of a compound that induces a 50% reduction in cell viability compared to cells in culture medium alone. EC50 values ​​are estimated as described.

[0124] The test results for compounds b, c, d, e, and i are shown in Table 5. It can be seen that the EC50 values ​​are 51 μm, 54 μm, 9 μm, 55 μm, and 10 μm, respectively, indicating that compounds b, c, d, e, and i all exhibit inhibitory activity against human breast cancer cells (MDA). Among them, compound d has the lowest EC50 value and exhibits the best inhibitory activity against MDA.

[0127] This invention provides a method for the defluorination cyclization reaction of fluoroalkyl peroxides and p-cyanobenzylamine under the promoting conditions of triethylenediamine and potassium phosphate, synthesizing a series of fluoroalkyl pyrrole compounds. This reaction selectively activates the six C(sp) atoms at three carbon sites on the fluoroalkyl chain. 3 By exploiting the )-F bond, the precise synthesis of fluoroalkyl-substituted pyrrole compounds was achieved. This method features mild conditions, good functional group tolerance, simple post-processing, green procedures, low pollution, and high economic benefits. Furthermore, the obtained compounds exhibit certain anti-human breast cancer cell (MDA) activity and can be used to prepare active inhibitors against MDA cells.
