Problems solved by technology

In recent years, with the development of photocatalysis and some multifunctional loading materials, some relatively novel and environmentally friendly synthetic routes have also been developed (ACS Sust. Chem. Eng. 2017, 5, 9683-9691; Adv. Synth. Catal. 2018, 360,3471-3476), the reaction mechanism of all the current methods is roughly similar, first methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde under the catalyst, formaldehyde molecules undergo aldol condensation dehydration with ketone under the promotion of alkali to obtain enone intermediates, enone intermediates Under the attack of nucleophilic reagents, the ketone α-position methylated product or the methylated compound containing other groups are obtained. Although there are various synthetic means of ketone α-position methylation in the prior art, using The way of electrochemical oxidation to promote the α-methylation reaction of ketones has not been reported

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for realizing the α-position methylation reaction of ketones under electrochemical conditions. This method adopts an electrochemical dehydrogenation coupling strategy to realize the direct conversion of ketones and methanol to ketones. α In the methylation reaction, under mild electrochemical oxidation conditions, methanol is used as a C-1 source, and ketones and methanol are directly ketones in an oxygen atmosphere under alkaline conditions. α The methylation reaction uses the solvent methanol as the methylation reagent, which has the advantages of environmental protection, atom economy and simple steps. The reaction avoids the use of transition metal catalysts and oxidants, and the operation is simple, the yield is high, and the raw materials are easily available and clean. Environmentally friendly, well in line with the concept of modern green chemistry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to chemical synthesis, in particular to a method for realizing the α-position methylation reaction of ketones under electrochemical conditions. Background technique [0002] Methylation reactions are fundamental transformations that play a key role in the synthesis and functionalization of bioactive molecules (Chem. Rev. 2011, 111, 5215-5246). Methyl fragments exist in many popular drug compounds, which can effectively adjust the physical and biological properties of the compounds, and many important natural products and pharmaceutically active compounds contain α-methyl ketones (J.Nat.Prod.2011 , 74, 997-1002). For example, Eperisone and Tolperisone are antispasmodics (Pharmacology. 2004, 71, 150-156); Eprazinone (trade name Eftapan) is a mucolytic and can relieve bronchospasm (Fortschr. Med. 1980, 98, 871-874 ), in addition, the "profen family" containing α-methylcarboxylic acid groups such as ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen a...
