Abstract
Description
An acylsilane reagent, its preparation method and application Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, and in particular to an acylsilane reagent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Amide bonds are among the most common functional groups in nature, serving as fundamental structural units in small organic molecules, peptides, proteins, and other natural macromolecules. They are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, polymers, materials, and other fine chemicals. Currently, the main method for forming amide bonds is the dehydration coupling of carboxylic acids and amines with the assistance of coupling reagents. Many amide coupling reagents are now commercially available, such as 2-(7-azabenzotriazole)-N,N,N',N'-tetramethylurea hexafluorophosphate (HATU), O-benzotriazole-tetramethylurea hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI), and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC). However, these coupling reagents still have many drawbacks, such as poor chemoselectivity, water incompatibility, difficulty in product purification, poor reagent toxicity and stability, and the generation of large amounts of organic waste.
[0003] Numerous non-classical amide bond formation reactions have been reported, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods. Among these, natural chemical linkages (NCL), α-keto acid-hydroxylamine linkages (KAHA ligation), potassium acyltrifluoroborate linkages (KAT ligation), and acylsilane linkages (ASHA ligation) have been widely used in peptide and protein chemistry, as well as in the discovery of biobinding and inhibitors. These reactions exhibit high chemoselectivity and can occur under mild aqueous conditions. However, the application of NCL and KAHA ligation is limited by their slow reaction rates. KAT linkage is fast and can occur at dilute concentrations of equimolar reactants, but its wider application is limited by strong acidic reaction conditions and the lack of rapid methods for obtaining various KATs. ASHA linkage requires acidic conditions, and the method is slow at dilute concentrations; at a concentration of 2 mmol, the reaction yield is only 36% even after 3 days at 40 °C. Furthermore, this method cannot react with aniline and secondary amines, nor can it synthesize dipeptides and polypeptides. Summary of the Invention
