The invention provides a method for synthesizing an isoindolo [2, 1-a] pyrrolo [2, 1-c]
quinoxaline compound, and relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis. The isoindolo [2, 1-a] pyrrolo [2, 1-c]
quinoxaline compound is obtained by mixing a compound 1, a compound 2,
trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride and a polar
solvent and carrying out cyclization reaction under a protective
atmosphere. A one-pot method is adopted for one-step synthesis, the synthesis process is simple, and the product yield is high. According to the method provided by the invention, the preparation raw materials are safe, dangerous reagents such as
azide and the like and raw materials such as a
metal catalyst and a toxic oxidant which are commonly used in a traditional two-step synthesis
route are avoided, potential safety hazards are fundamentally eliminated, and the method conforms to the development trend of
green chemistry, has higher
operation safety and environmental friendliness, and is suitable for industrial production. The production cost is low. Furthermore, the method provided by the invention is mild in reaction condition, low in
energy consumption, short in time consumption and high in production efficiency.
