A convenient method to synthesize ethyl 4-(bromomethyl)thiophene-3-carboxylate derivatives has been developed a visible-light-induced radical process in good yields and with wide functional group tolerance under air conditions and at ambient temperature. The present protocol has the advantages of a high atom economy, easy purification, and environmental friendliness as it employs HBr as the bromine source and the cheap and low-toxic HO as the oxidant. The synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by a gram scale reaction and its application in the innovative synthesis of the clinical drug relugolix.
已开发出一种合成4-(溴甲基)噻吩-3-羧酸乙酯衍生物的简便方法,该方法是在空气条件和室温下通过可见光诱导的自由基过程,产率良好且具有广泛的官能团耐受性。本方法具有原子经济性高、易于纯化和环境友好等优点,因为它使用HBr作为溴源,廉价且低毒的HO作为氧化剂。该方法的合成实用性通过克级反应及其在临床药物relugolix创新合成中的应用得到了证明。
