Description

A kind of synthetic method of indoles
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of synthetic method of indoles.
Background technology
Indoles is a kind of important fine chemical material, is widely used in fields such as medicine, agricultural chemicals, spices, food and feed additive, dyestuff, does not wane lastingly about its applied research always, and new Application Areas still constantly is being developed.Industrialized at present indoles synthetic technology mainly contains three kinds of aniline process, adjacent aminoethylbenzene method and ortho-chlorotolu'ene methods.Aniline process need be used the higher aniline of price, and in its reaction process, aniline must be excessive in greatly to guarantee essential selectivity simultaneously, and lower with regard to the per pass conversion of aniline calculating, these have all influenced the economy of this method.Adjacent aminoethylbenzene method needs at high temperature (generally will arrive about 600 ℃) to carry out, and uses expensive platinum catalyst simultaneously, and yield and selectivity are not high yet.The ortho-chlorotolu'ene method adopts ortho-chlorotolu'ene to make dihydroindole through chlorination, cyaniding, ammonification, dehydration, then dehydrogenation and indoles.Used step is long, and yield is low; Will use chlorine and hypertoxic prussiate simultaneously, environmental issue is more serious.
Document J.Org.Chem., 1990,55, mention among the 580-584 by Ortho Nitro Toluene be raw material through methylolation, three steps of hydrogenation and cyclization prepare the method for indoles.But this method has the following disadvantages: (1) its hydroxymethylation uses organic quaternary ammonium hydroxide Triton B to be catalyzer, costs an arm and a leg; (2) its step of hydrogenation institute adopts the zinc powder reduction method to example, and three wastes problem is serious.Another kind method is used expensive noble metal catalyst, and as Pd/C and Rh/C, the reaction times reaches 7-17 hour; (3) its cyclization step adopts the homogeneous phase complex catalyst, and it is extremely unstable simultaneously to cost an arm and a leg, and separates with product and has any problem, and the reaction times is also longer.Document Applied Catalysis, 20 (1986), 305-312 has mentioned by adjacent amino-benzene ethanol and has adopted the gas phase fixed bed, under the effect of copper-loading catalyst, the method for cyclization synthesis of indole.But its activity of such catalysts is not high, and the life-span is shorter.The clear 61-134370 of Japanese Patent (1986) has mentioned the employing Raney's nickel, and thunder Buddhist nun cobalt and raney copper catalyst are by the method for adjacent amino-benzene ethanol synthesis of indole.But its reaction times is longer, and the yield of indoles is lower, and selectivity is relatively poor.Therefore, simple, the economic Indomethacin synthetic technology of exploitation is very necessary.

The present invention's solvent for use in ring-closure reaction also can be selected from the catalytic hydrogenation solvent for use, mainly considers the adaptability of its boiling point and temperature of reaction, and in general to be higher than temperature of reaction relatively good for boiling point.From experiment, find in addition, in skeleton catayst, add some noble metal component such as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, platinum, can shorten the reaction times greatly.It is little to the reaction influence to add separately triphenylphosphine, but when it joined the skeleton catayst that has added some other metal components such as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, platinum, its synergy can further shorten the reaction times, improves throughput greatly.
Catalytic hydrogenation of the present invention and ring-closure reaction also can be together in series and carry out, the hydrogenation that promptly pressurizes earlier, and emptying hydrogen was not adjusted temperature again and is got final product to ring-closure reaction is required to normal pressure after reaction was not extremely inhaled hydrogen, did not influence its yield and selectivity.Last in emptying, the most handy a kind of rare gas element such as nitrogen replacement are to keep the normal pressure system.
