Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for constructing axially chiral compounds of cyclic olefins-quinolinones using the Heck reaction, belonging to the field of organic synthetic chemistry. Background Technology

[0002] For axially chiral skeletons with multiple substituents and skeletons containing ester, carboxyl, and halogen atoms, the former is affected by steric hindrance, which can hinder the construction of the chiral axis, while the latter requires higher reactivity and compatibility of functional groups. Therefore, selecting appropriate reaction strategies to synthesize structurally diverse axially chiral compounds and compatible functional groups is crucial. Transfer from central chirality to axial chirality is an efficient method for synthesizing axially chiral compounds. This strategy offers mild reaction conditions, a wide range of applicable substrates, and good functional group compatibility. (Baker RW, Hambley TW, Turner P, Chem. Commun., 1996, 22, 2571; Jia Feng, Bin Li, Yun He, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016, 128, 2226; Chao Sun, Xiao-Long Min, Xue-Dan Bai. Chem. Sci. 2020, 11, 10119; Jie Wang, Jun Gu, Jia-Yu Zou, Meng-Jie Zhang. Nat. Commun. 2024, 15, 3254.)

[0003] Cycloolefin-aromatic axially chiral compounds are an important class of axially chiral structures. Compared to biaryl axially chiral compounds, the olefin structural unit has certain reactivity and can undergo derivatization reactions to obtain a variety of derivatized products. Therefore, the synthesis of precursors containing olefin structural units can be used for the synthesis of drugs and natural products. At the same time, cycloolefin-aromatic axially chiral compounds can be used as chiral ligands. Compared with biaryl chiral ligands, different stereostructures of the cycloolefin moiety may have different effects on asymmetric catalytic reactions. For example, coordination with transition metals in the olefin moiety can regulate the enantioselectivity of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The specific synthesis route is as follows:
