Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis and metal catalytic ligand technology, and particularly relates to a bisphosphonate compound containing an imidazole skeleton, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Organophosphine ligands are a core component of transition metal catalysis. By adjusting the electronic effects and steric hindrance of phosphine ligands, the activity and selectivity of chemical reactions can be significantly altered. Bisphosphine ligands, such as 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphine)ferrocene (DPPF) and 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphine)-1,1'-binaphthyl (BINAP), have been widely used in industrial catalytic processes such as Suzuki coupling, Heck reaction, hydroformylation, and asymmetric hydrogenation.

[0003] The imidazole ring, a five-membered aromatic heterocycle containing two nitrogen atoms, possesses excellent coordination ability, thermal stability, and structural modifiability. Introducing the imidazole skeleton into bisphosphine ligand structures holds promise for obtaining ligand systems with novel electronic properties and spatial configurations. Currently, there are few reports on ligands based on the imidazole-bisphosphine structure, mainly because reaction competition exists at the N-1 / C-2 sites of the imidazole ring, making selectivity difficult to control and resulting in low yields of the target product. Therefore, the development of such ligands has significant academic and applied value. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Furthermore, its synthetic route is as follows: .

[0007] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing the bisphosphine compound containing an imidazole skeleton, comprising the following steps: Step (1): Under the action of palladium catalyst, 1H-imidazol-5-boronic acid pinacol ester first undergoes C–C coupling reaction with 2-bromoiodobenzene, and then the generated imidazolium intermediate further undergoes C–N coupling reaction with the remaining 2-bromoiodobenzene to obtain 1,4-bis(2-bromophenyl)-1H-imidazolium intermediate.

[0008] Step (2): Under inert gas protection, the 1,4-bis(2-bromophenyl)-1H-imidazolium intermediate obtained in step (1) is dissolved in an anhydrous solvent, reacted with an organolithium reagent to perform lithium-bromine exchange, and then reacted with phosphine chloride.

[0011] In step (1), the solvent is a mixture of organic solvent and water, with a volume ratio of organic solvent to water of 10:1 to 2:1, preferably 6:1 to 3:1, and more preferably 4:1; the organic solvent is one of 1,4-dioxane, toluene, xylene, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and tetrahydrofuran; the reaction temperature is 60-120℃, preferably 80-100℃, and more preferably 90℃; the reaction time is 6-24 hours, preferably 12 hours; and the molar ratio of 1H-imidazolium-5-boronic acid pinacol ester to 2-bromoiodobenzene is 1:2.0-3.5, preferably 1:2.5.

[0012] In step (2), the organolithium reagent is n-butyllithium; the anhydrous solvent is selected from tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, and 1,4-dioxane; the reaction temperature is -78℃ to 0℃; the molar ratio of 1,4-bis(2-bromophenyl)-1H-imidazole, organolithium reagent and phosphine chloride is 1:(2.2-2.8):(2.2-2.8), preferably 1:2.4:2.4.

[0013] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of the bisphosphonate compound containing the imidazole skeleton in transition metal catalytic reactions. The compound can be used as a metal ligand to construct metal catalytic systems, and is particularly suitable for palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon coupling reactions, including the Suzuki coupling reaction, the Heck reaction, and the Buchwald–Hartwig coupling reaction.

Moreover, the substituent on the phosphorus can be flexibly switched between aryl and alkyl groups to precisely control steric hindrance, accelerate the C–C reduction elimination elementary step, and ultimately achieve a Suzuki coupling catalytic yield higher than that of DPPF.
