The application discloses a synthesis method of 9-bromoanthracene and belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis.
Anthracene is used as
raw material, inorganic
bromide salt is used as a
bromine source,
hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxidant, and 9-bromoanthracene is synthesized in a mixed
solvent under the
catalysis of a composite Lewis acid with
high selectivity; the crude product is purified through step-by-step fractional recrystallization to obtain a high-purity product. Through the synergistic effect of the composite catalytic
system and the mixed
solvent, the generation of the difficult-to-remove by-product 9,10-dibromoanthracene is inhibited from the source, and the efficient separation of the product and the key impurities can be realized without
column chromatography by combining the gradient cooling fractional
crystallization process. The process is green and safe, simple to operate, low in cost and easy to industrialize, and the prepared 9-bromoanthracene can meet the application requirements in high-end fields such as
OLED photoelectric materials.
