Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of catalytic synthesis technology and fine chemical synthesis, specifically relating to a method for the hydroxylation of olefins by iron-catalyzed oxidation. Background Technology

[0002] Alcohols are an important class of organic compounds with wide applications in chemistry, materials science, medicine, and biology. For example, tanshinone has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, blood-activating, and wound-healing effects; ergosterol is also a pharmaceutical intermediate and an important chemical raw material; lignans are natural plant extracts; and warfarin is an anticoagulant commonly used in clinical medicine. Bifunctionalization of alkenes is a powerful method for constructing multifunctional compounds, rapidly increasing molecular complexity and playing a significant role in the synthesis of target molecules. Furthermore, hydroxyl and alkenyl groups serve as key intermediates in organic synthesis, used for later functionalization, and can provide a large number of other functional groups. Therefore, simultaneously introducing aryl alkenes and hydroxyl groups through alkenes holds great potential for biological and pharmaceutical applications.

[0003] Several challenges remain in current olefin bifunctionalization reactions, such as limited substrates, numerous reaction steps (Y.-J. Jang et al. / Tetrahedron. 2004, 60, 6565–6574), the fact that most methods utilize ring-opening of epoxides, resulting in high reaction temperatures and uneconomical results (L. Jin-Song, Z. Hai-Pin, Chem. Commun. 2019, 55, 11123–11126), the use of noble metal catalysis, and the predominance of cyclic compounds as substrates (T. Shenghan, Malcolm E. Tessensohn, Richard D. Webster, and Z. Jianrong Steve, ACS Catal. 2018, 8, 7439−7444). Furthermore, the limited expansion to complex molecules severely restricts the large-scale application of this method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Objective of the Invention: To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method for the hydroxylation of alkenes by iron-catalyzed oxidation. This invention is a method for the hydroxylation of alkenes by iron-catalyzed oxidation with a suitable oxidant. This method not only provides an economical and applicable new method for the synthesis of alcohols, but also introduces olefin functional groups, which is beneficial for the further transformation of subsequent compounds. This method solves a series of problems existing in the hydroxylation reaction, such as multiple reaction steps, low reaction yield, and the need to use noble metal catalysts.

[0005] The method of this invention requires only one reaction step, uses a small amount of olefin substrate, and features a wide range of catalyst sources that are inexpensive and environmentally friendly; the oxidant is inexpensive and has low toxicity; the substrate is widely available and stable; the reaction conditions are mild and the selectivity is good; the substrate functional groups are compatible and the substrate has a wide range of applicability; the reaction conditions are mild, the selectivity is good and the yield is high; it is compatible with drug molecules and drug molecule derivatives, and can effectively achieve the hydroxylation reaction of alkenes.

[0006] Technical solution: In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for iron-catalyzed hydroxylization of alkenes, comprising the following steps: in a solvent, using nitrostyrene compounds and alkenes as substrates, peroxides as oxidants, iron as catalysts, and amino acids or their derivatives as ligands, catalyzing the hydroxylization of alkenes to generate alkenyl alcohol compounds.

[0007] The general formula for the reaction is as follows:

[0008] ;

[0009] In the formula: R1 represents hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, methoxy, tert-butyl, cyano, trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, or halogen; R2 represents hydrogen or alkyl; R3 represents alkyl; or R2 and R3 form a cycloalkene compound.

[0016] The oxidant is selected from any one or more of the following: per-tert-butyl hydroperoxide, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, benzoyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide-tert-butyl ester, di-tert-butyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, 2-butanone peroxide, or bis(trimethylsilyl) peroxide.

[0017] Wherein, the solvent is an organic solvent, water, or an aqueous solution of an organic solvent, wherein the organic solvent is selected from acetonitrile, toluene, acetone, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-diacetamide, N,N-dicarboxamide, ethyl acetate, 1,4-dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, n-propanol, isopropanol, 1,3-propanediol, n-butanol, isoamyl alcohol, 2-pentanol, 3-pentanol, cyclopentanol, trifluoroethanol, isobutanol, tert-butanol, sec-butanol, tert-pentanol, 3-methoxybutanol, 4-methyl-2-pentanol, n-pentanol; when the solvent is an aqueous solution of an organic solvent, the volume ratio of the organic solvent to water is 1:(0.1-5).

[0018] The molar ratio of the nitrostyrene compound, alkene compound, hydrogen peroxide, amino acid or its derivative, and iron catalyst is 1:(0.5-2):(2-60):(0.001-20):(0.002-10).

[0019] The reaction is carried out at a temperature of 25–120°C for 1–48 hours.

[0020] The method of this invention utilizes iron as a catalyst, which is characterized by its high natural abundance, low cost, and low toxicity. Specific amino acid ligands are used to coordinate with the iron catalyst, forming a highly active catalytic species. This catalytic species, in conjunction with the oxidant and solvent, enables the alkylating agent to form alkyl radicals that attack nitrostyrene-based reagents, exhibiting high activity and selectivity. Furthermore, the method of this invention uses mild reagents and a mild environment, overcoming the problem of harsh reaction conditions. The reaction directly attacks nitrostyrene-based reagents without pre-functionalization. Iron is used as the catalyst, eliminating the need for precious metals, and the effect is significant. The method of this invention offers advantages such as a widely available, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly catalyst; a widely available and inexpensive oxidant; mild reaction conditions and high selectivity; good compatibility with substrate functional groups and a wide range of substrate applications; compatibility with drug molecules and drug derivatives, and excellent ability to achieve olefin hydroxylation reactions. Under optimized reaction conditions, the yield of the target product after separation can reach 86%.

[0021] This invention first forms a complex between low-valent iron and an amino acid, then a high-valent iron-oxygen intermediate is formed under the action of an oxidant. This intermediate then undergoes a radical addition reaction with an alkene, followed by a radical addition-elimination reaction between the alkyl radical and a nitrostyrene compound, ultimately forming the target compound. Practical application has demonstrated excellent results. This is the first time that an amino acid-ligand-promoted iron-catalyzed method has been applied to the hydroxylation of olefins. Unlike existing synthetic routes for hydroxyl compounds, which typically involve the reduction ring-opening / coupling reaction of epoxides, this method involves a single-electron transfer between the olefin and the iron catalyst to form a radical cation intermediate. Further deprotonation yields an alkyl radical, which then couples with a nitrostyrene compound, exhibiting excellent selectivity and activity for this type of synthesis. This provides a new method and mechanism for the synthesis of nitrostyrene compounds. By introducing amino acids or their derivatives to coordinate with the iron catalyst, the activity and selectivity of the iron catalysis are improved, thus solving a series of problems existing in current olefin bifunctionalization reactions, such as demanding reaction conditions, low reaction efficiency, the need for a large excess of alkene substrate, and the requirement for noble metal catalysts.

[0022] In this invention, the ligand first forms a complex with iron, then the oxidant oxidizes the low-valent iron to a high-valent ferrite intermediate, generating a corresponding high-valent ferrite radical cationic intermediate. This intermediate then reacts with olefins; due to its electrophilic nature, it interacts with positions in the olefin molecule with higher electron density to form corresponding alkyl radicals. Under the action of H₂O, a β-hydroxy radical is generated, which then reacts with nitrostyrene to generate the target product. The key design concept is to use amino acid ligands to form a high-valent ferrite intermediate with iron, which then interacts with positions in the olefin molecule with higher electron density to form a corresponding alkyl radical, subsequently reacting with nitrostyrene to generate the target product. Advantages: By coordinating amino acids or their derivatives with the iron catalyst, the catalytic activity and selectivity of the iron catalyst can be enhanced. For example, this method has good compatibility with olefins, especially with electron-deficient olefins, and also shows good results in the expansion of complex molecules.

[0023] This invention is based on the formation of a high-valent ferrite intermediate from an amino acid ligand and iron, generating a corresponding radical cationic intermediate. This intermediate can interact with positions in olefin molecules with high electron cloud density to form corresponding alkyl radicals. Therefore, this system can selectively add to olefins to produce the target product. This invention has good compatibility with alkenes, especially with electron-deficient alkenes and inner alkenes. Furthermore, this invention has high reactivity and good compatibility with complex molecules and various modified drug molecules.

[0024] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0025] (1) This invention provides a method for iron-catalyzed hydroxylylation of alkenes promoted by amino acids and their derivative ligands. This method requires only one reaction step and does not require complicated steps. It has the unique advantages of inexpensive, widely available and environmentally friendly catalysts, ligands and oxidants. The reaction conditions are mild and highly selective. The substrates are widely available, stable and easy to handle. The substrate functional groups are compatible and the substrates have a wide range of applications. Experimental results show that the reaction has the advantage of generating hydroxylylated products. However, there is no good method in the prior art to form highly active catalyst species.

[0026] (2) The hydroxylating method of olefins provided by the present invention is simple, easy and safe. The hydroxylated compounds can be obtained directly in one step. Under optimized reaction conditions, the yield of the target product after separation can reach 86%. Moreover, the amount of olefin used can be controlled at 1-2 equivalents, which can better reduce the reaction cost. It is a general, efficient, economical and environmentally friendly method for generating hydroxylated compounds.

[0027] (3) The present invention uses iron as the catalytic core to realize the hydroxylation reaction of olefins. The key is to introduce amino acid ligands, which can coordinate with iron catalysts to form highly active catalytic species. This not only allows the reaction to proceed efficiently under extremely mild conditions, but also shows excellent catalytic effects on drug molecules and their derivatives. It has excellent adaptability and practicality.

[0028] (4) The hydroxyl groups synthesized by the method of the present invention can be used as drugs or bioactive molecules, and are also important organic intermediates, which are widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and high value-added fine chemicals.

[0159] Example 32

[0160] Example 32 uses the same method as Example 12, except that the molar ratio of nitrostyrene reagent, alkene substrate, hydrogen peroxide, amino acid derivative, and iron catalyst is 1:1:50:20:10.

[0166] The method of Comparative Example 1 is the same as that of Example 12, except that no iron catalyst is added and the yield of the target product is 0.

[0167] Comparative Example 2

[0168] Comparative Example 2 uses the same method as Example 12, except that no amino acid ligands are added, which greatly reduces the reaction yield to less than 20%.

[0173] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention. Theoretically, various iron catalysts in this invention can coordinate with amino acid ligands to form highly active iron catalyst species, thereby facilitating the smooth progress of the reaction. Amino acid ligands are promoters of olefin hydroxylation reactions, utilizing their ability to coordinate with iron. Theoretically, various amino acids and their derivatives all possess coordination functions and should achieve similar effects. Various substituents on the aromatic ring affect the electron cloud density within the ring and the steric hindrance during the reaction; that is, the modification of substituents only affects the reaction to a certain extent and does not play a decisive role in the occurrence of the reaction. Anyone skilled in the art will readily understand that, without departing from the scope of the present invention, variations or modifications can be made to obtain corresponding embodiments. For example, the substituents can be replaced, changed, or modified within the scope of the present invention to achieve the method of the present invention. Any modifications, alterations, or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
