Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an efficient and highly selective synthetic method for carbon chain homogenization of alkenyl borate ester compounds via a tandem catalytic reaction, belonging to the field of organic synthetic chemistry. Background Technology
[0002] In organic synthesis, drug development, and materials science, systematic structural modification of the core skeleton of lead compounds or functional molecules is a key strategy for optimizing their performance. Homogenization reactions, which involve inserting one or more methylene (-CH2) units into the molecular skeleton, can systematically alter the physicochemical properties of the molecule, thereby finely controlling its biological activity (such as binding affinity to the target) or material function. Therefore, developing synthetic methods that can efficiently and modularly extend the carbon chain directly from an important intermediate is of great significance.
[0003] Organoboron compounds, especially alkenylboronic esters, are indispensable building blocks in modern synthetic chemistry due to their efficient construction of C-C bonds via cross-coupling reactions such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Currently, homologation methods based on organoboron compounds have been developed to some extent, with strategies mainly focusing on the modification of carbon-boron (CB) bonds. For example, the classic Matteson homologation reaction inserts a methylene unit into the carbon-boron (CB) bond via a carbene or carbene-like intermediate, achieving precise and efficient insertion of carbon units into the CB bond. However, homologation of alkenylboronic esters via the Matteson reaction generates alkylboron species with extended carbon chains, leading to the loss of the C(sp²)-B portion, a multifunctional structure, in metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
[0004] Meanwhile, current technologies still cannot achieve the more prevalent and inert carbon-carbon σ-bond direct carbon insertion homogenization reaction in alkenylboron. If the C(sp²)-B functional groups can be retained while directly extending the C-C bonds on the alkenylboronate backbone, it will provide a powerful tool for the rapid structural derivatization of drug lead compounds.
[0005] From a retrosynthetic perspective, the coupling of alkenyl borate esters with vinyl halides (Suzuki-Miyaura) can generate conjugated dienes, which can then be hydrobored. Theoretically, this allows for the insertion of two methylene units into the original C-C bonds. However, this strategy faces two insurmountable obstacles in practice: (1) The hydroboration reaction of conjugated dienes has multiple reaction sites, making precise control of chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity extremely difficult. It typically produces a complex mixture of allyl boron, high-allyl boron, and various isomeric alkenyl borons, making it difficult to obtain the target straight-chain alkenyl borate ester in high yield and with high selectivity; (2) It is difficult to efficiently and efficiently integrate the palladium-catalyzed coupling step with the subsequent metal-catalyzed hydroboration step into a "one-pot" process. This tandem process presents significant challenges in terms of catalyst system and reaction compatibility.
[0006] Therefore, developing a novel catalytic system and method to overcome the aforementioned selectivity and compatibility challenges, and to achieve a highly efficient, selective, and modular synthesis of alkenylboronic homologues with extended carbon chains from alkenylboronic esters, is a major technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a simple, selective, and highly compatible method for the homologation of alkenylboronic esters with high modularity. This method, through ingenious reaction design, links palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with iron-catalyzed hydroboration, enabling the insertion of two methylene units into the original C-C bond of the alkenylboronic ester in a single step. Furthermore, iterative multi-step extension can be achieved, allowing for the further synthesis of homologues with four or six methylene groups while retaining their multifunctional C(sp²)-B functional groups.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a highly selective and highly compatible iron catalyst that plays a key role in the method.
[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide an iterative application strategy for the method and its practical application in the derivatization of bioactive molecules.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: , in, It is selected from aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, heteroalkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl and organic groups containing at least one of O, N, S, halogen, carbonyl and ester groups; Bpin represents pinacol borate ester.
[0011] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for the homogenization of alkenyl borate ester compounds, wherein the method is a one-pot, two-step tandem reaction that does not require separation of intermediates, and includes the following steps performed in sequence: Step S1: Aryl olefin borate 1 reacts with a vinyl halide in the presence of a palladium catalyst, a base, and an organic solvent to generate a conjugated diene intermediate 2; Step S2: Cool the reaction system of conjugated diene intermediate 2 to room temperature, without separating the intermediate, add iron catalyst and pinacolborane to react and obtain alkenylboronic acid ester compound 3.
[0012] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the palladium catalyst in the first step is preferably tetra(triphenylphosphine)palladium; the vinyl halide is selected from vinyl bromide or vinyl chloride.
[0013] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the molar ratio of aryl olefin boronic acid ester 1, vinyl halide, palladium catalyst and base in the first step is 1:1-1.2:0.01-0.02:1-1.5.
[0014] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the organic solvent in the first step is an aromatic solvent, preferably toluene; the alkali is selected from potassium methoxide, sodium methoxide, sodium tert-butoxide, or potassium tert-butoxide.
[0015] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the reaction temperature in the first step needs to be controlled between 80-120 ℃, preferably 100-120 ℃. Studies have found that higher temperatures not only promote complete coupling reactions, but more importantly, they help eliminate trace amounts of vinyl halides that may remain in the system after the reaction in the presence of a base, preventing them from poisoning or interfering with subsequent iron-catalyzed steps. This is key to achieving high-yield tandem reactions.
[0016] Secondly, the present invention provides an iron catalyst for the second step of the above method, which is a zero-valent iron-bisphosphine complex with the following structure: .
[0017] Furthermore, the iron catalyst is preferably [Fe(dppe)] ([Fe]-1, where dppe is 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphine)ethane) or [Fe(dppbz)] ([Fe]-2, where dppbz is 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphine)benzene), with [Fe]-1 being the most preferred. This catalyst exhibits near-perfect chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity for the hydroboration reaction of conjugated dienes with HBpin.
[0018] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the molar ratio of the conjugated diene intermediate 2, pinacol borane, and iron catalyst in the second step is 1:1-1.2:0.01-0.05.
[0019] Thirdly, the present invention provides an iterative application of the method. Using the homologous product 3 obtained by the above method as a new starting material, the one-pot tandem reaction can be repeated to sequentially insert two, four, six or even more methylene units, thereby achieving modular and controllable extension of the carbon chain.
[0020] Fourthly, this invention provides the application of the described method in the preparation of homologues of pharmaceutically active molecules. Using the method of this invention, a library of homologues of pharmaceutically active molecules with different chain lengths can be rapidly constructed for structure-activity relationship studies of specific drugs. For example: A. A method for synthesizing the pharmaceutical intermediate Piperdardine, comprising the following steps: , Compound 3ad was synthesized using the aforementioned two-step continuous reaction method. Then, compound 3ad and compound 6b were reacted with each other in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, potassium carbonate, and toluene / water at a temperature of 80-100°C to obtain the pharmaceutical intermediate Piperdardine.
[0021] B. A method for synthesizing a Src kinase inhibitor, comprising the following steps: , Compound 3ae was synthesized using the aforementioned two-step continuous reaction method. Then, compound 3ae and compound 7b were reacted with each other in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium, potassium carbonate, and toluene / water at a temperature of 80-100°C to obtain the Src kinase inhibitor.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. Originality: For the first time, the "homogenization reaction from alkenylboron to alkenylboron" was realized, that is, the formal carbon insertion reaction of the unactivated CC σ bond in alkenylboronic ester was realized, breaking through the limitation of traditional methods that are limited to carbon unit insertion into the CB bond of boron-containing compounds.
[0023] 2. High selectivity: By using a specific iron catalyst [Fe]-1, the world-class problem of the special selectivity of the conjugated diene hydroboration reaction was solved, and the efficient synthesis of single isomer products was achieved.
[0024] 3. Step economy: A highly efficient "one-pot" series process has been developed, which eliminates the need to separate unstable diene intermediates, is simple to operate, and has high atom economy.
[0025] 4. Good functional group compatibility: The reaction conditions are mild and it is tolerant to many common functional groups, making it suitable for the later-stage modification of complex molecules.
[0026] 5. Iterable and modular: The product is still an alkenyl borate ester, which can be repeatedly added to the reaction cycle to achieve precise and modular growth of carbon chain length, providing a powerful tool for organic synthesis and drug research.
[0027] 6. Huge application potential: It can be directly used to efficiently derivatize known bioactive molecules in a "turning lead into gold" manner, accelerate the optimization process of drug lead compounds, and speed up the innovative development of drugs. Detailed Implementation
