Problems solved by technology

In 2013, the Patel research group used copper acetate hydrate as a catalyst and tert-butanol peroxide as an oxidant to try the oxidative coupling reaction of phenolic compounds and toluene compounds. The expected target product is aryl benzyl ether compounds , but the final product is a phenolic ester compound, the reason is that the intermediate aryl benzyl ether compound is unstable and rapidly oxidized to a phenolic ester compound (see: Saroj, K. R.; Srimanta G.; Arghya, B.; Anupal, G.; Nilufa, K.; Patel, B. K., Org. Lett.2013, 15,4106)
[0006] So far, there is no literature report on the construction of aryl benzyl ether compounds through the oxidative coupling reaction of phenolic compounds and toluene compounds catalyzed by iron-based catalysts

Abstract

The invention discloses an application of an iron (III) complex containing 1,3-di-tert-butyl imidazole cations in synthesis of aryl benzyl ether compounds, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing corresponding aryl benzyl ether compounds by taking di-tert-butyl peroxide as an oxidizing agent and carrying out oxidative coupling reaction on phenolic compounds and toluene compounds. According to the method, the iron (III) complex is used as the catalyst for the first time, and oxidative coupling of the phenolic compound and the toluene compound is realized. The method is the first oxidative coupling reaction of phenolic compounds and benzyl C(sp3)-H bonds, and a new method is provided for synthesizing aryl benzyl ether compounds. Compared with an existing synthesis method, the method provided by the invention avoids using toxic and polluting halogenated hydrocarbon and strong base, has better atom economy, and conforms to the development concept of green synthetic chemistry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of organic compounds, and in particular relates to the application of iron (III) complexes containing 1,3-di-tert-butylimidazolium cations in the synthesis of aryl benzyl ether compounds. Background technique [0002] As an important structural fragment, aryl benzyl ether widely exists in pharmaceutical molecules, and is also an important class of organic synthesis intermediates, which can be used in the synthesis of medicines, dyes, spices, etc. The traditional preparation method of such compounds is the Williamson synthesis method, which requires the use of toxic and polluting halogenated hydrocarbons and strong bases. Therefore, it is of great practical value to develop new methods with atom economy and green environmental friendliness to synthesize such compounds. Examples of drug molecules containing aryl benzyl ether structural fragments are as follows: [0003] [0004] In the past...
