Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically relating to a method for synthesizing a 3-selenocyanospiro[4.5]trienone derivative. Background Technology
[0002] Spiro[4.5]trienones are an important structural unit in medicinal chemistry and are widely found in a variety of natural products. Spiro[4.5]trienone derivatives have a wide range of biological activities, such as antihypertensive, antiviral, antioxidant, antitumor and antibacterial properties. Meanwhile, organoselenium compounds have outstanding importance in almost every aspect of chemistry, and these compounds have wide applications in organic transformation and materials science (Chem. Rev. 2001, 101, 2125; Chem. Rev. 2004,104, 6255; Org. Chem. Front. 2019, 6, 2999; Catal. Sci. Technol. 2019, 9,1073-1091). Existing methods for synthesizing 3-selenocyanospiro[4.5]trienone derivatives mostly use N-(p-methoxyaryl)propynamide and selenocyanate as substrates, which are synthesized via dearomatization reactions. However, this reaction has drawbacks such as pollution from transition metal catalysts or strong oxidants, the need to use pre-synthesized selenocyano precursor compounds, the need for complex steps to synthesize reaction raw materials, and narrow substrate applicability (J.

[0065] Compound 1 (0.5 mmol, 140.2 mg), elemental selenium 2 (Se, 1 mmol, 79 mg), compound 3 (TMSCN, 2 mmol, 198 mg), and dimethyl sulfoxide (3 mL) were added to a 25 mL reaction tube. The reaction mixture was stirred at 120 °C for 12 h. The reaction mixture was then poured into 15 mL of water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 15 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with 15 mL of brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation, and the residue was purified by rapid chromatography [silica gel, petroleum ether: ethyl acetate, v / v ratio 10:1] to give 3-selenocyanospiro[4.5]trienone derivative 4, a yellow solid, in 54% yield. The NMR and high-resolution data of the target product 4 are as follows: 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.41–7.31 (m, 3H), 7.17–7.15 (m, 2H), 6.52–6.46 (m, 2H), 6.45–6.40 (m, 2H), 2.88 (s, 3H). 13 C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3) δ 183.3, 166.0, 157.7, 143.2, 133.7,130.8, 129.5, 128.9, 127.6, 122.1, 97.0, 69.6, 26.6.
