The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a polysubstituted aminoisoquinoline compound by cyclizing
pyridine and
alkyne under the
catalysis of
rhodium, which comprises the following steps: byusing a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl
rhodium complex as a catalyst and a 2-aminopyridine derivative and an internal
alkyne compound as raw materials, reacting in an
organic solvent at 30-150 DEG C for1-24 hours, cooling the reaction solution after the reaction is finished, removing the
organic solvent under reduced pressure; purifying the crude product through a
silicon dioxide column, and elutingwith
petroleum ether /
ethyl acetate to obtain the pure polysubstituted aminoisoquinoline derivative. According to the method, a guide group (carbonyl) or a steric hindrance group (methyl) is introduced into the reaction to realize C-H bond activation and avoid the coordination effect of
pyridine on the
metal catalyst, and the regulation and control of the reaction activity and selectivity are efficiently realized through the regulation and control of the group with large steric hindrance. The obtained generation target products are high in selectivity, and the selectivity is 90% or above, byproducts are few, and the product separation cost is reduced, and the method is simple in synthesis process, mild in reaction condition and convenient for industrial production.
