The invention relates to the field of
organic synthesis, and particularly discloses a preparation method of kung-fu acid. Comprising the following steps: carrying out an
addition reaction on 3-methyl-1-
butene and 1, 1, 1-trichlorotrifluoroethane under the action of a catalyst to obtain 2, 2, 4-trichloro-1, 1, 1-trifluoro-5-methylhexane, carrying out an
elimination reaction under a strong alkaline condition to obtain 2-chloro-1, 1, 1-trifluoro-5-methyl-2, 4-hexadiene, carrying out a '1 + 2'
cycloaddition reaction on the 2-chloro-1, 1, 1-trifluoro-5-methyl-2, 4-hexadiene and a
phosphorus ylide reagent to obtain 2-chloro-1, 1, 1-trifluoro-5-methyl-2, 4-hexadiene. And finally, saponifying and acidifying the kung-fu acid methyl ester to obtain the product kung-fu acid. The process is simple to operate, the raw materials are cheap and easy to obtain, the
solvent can be recycled, the conversion rate is high, impurities are few, and the method is more suitable for industrial production.
