The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a 2-(hetero)
aryl-3-cyano indole skeleton through a one-
step method based on photochemical reaction and application, and relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis.The method is technically characterized by comprising the steps that an indole derivative, a (hetero)
aryl derivative, alkali and a
solvent are added into a reaction container, under the
nitrogen atmosphere, visible light or
ultraviolet light is adopted for
irradiation, and the 2-(hetero)
aryl-3-cyano indole skeleton is obtained; reacting at
room temperature for 12 hours; and after the reaction is completed, concentrating the reaction liquid and purifying to obtain the 2-(hetero) aryl-3-cyano indole derivative. The 2-aryl-3-cyano indole skeleton synthesized by the method has significant
drug research and development potential, especially in the development of HCV inhibitors and
aldosterone synthetase inhibitors, the method has the advantages of being green and environment-friendly, efficient and simple, cheap and easily available in raw materials, strong in modification of molecular structures and the like, and the 2-aryl-3-cyano indole skeleton can be synthesized by adjusting
reaction conditions or initial raw materials. Therefore, diversified construction of target molecules can be realized, and great flexibility is provided for optimization and research and development of
drug molecules.
