Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0003] The present invention relates to a catalytic material in the field of chemistry, and specifically designs a synthesis method of four novel iminophosphine ligand copper(I) complexes and their application as catalysts in the hydrosilylation reduction reaction of ketones. Background Art
[0004] Alcohol compounds are important intermediates for a variety of chemical industrial products. Therefore, the development of economical and efficient catalysts for the reduction reaction of ketones has become one of the important directions in modern chemical research. There are three types of reduction reactions of ketones: hydrogenation reduction, transfer hydrogenation reaction, and hydrosilylation reaction. Among them, the hydrosilylation reduction of ketones has the advantages of milder reaction conditions, fewer side reactions, and simpler operation compared with the other two methods. It is widely used in the synthesis of secondary alcohols and thus widely applied in the fields of organic synthesis, fine chemicals, etc. In the past, most of the catalysts for the reduction reaction of ketones were noble metals. However, due to cost considerations and the increasing environmental protection requirements, researchers have been striving to seek various non-noble metals to replace noble metals in catalyzing the hydrosilylation reaction of ketones and have made certain progress. However, there is still a large room for exploration in the development of non-noble metal catalysts for efficiently catalyzing the reduction reaction of ketones. Continuing to develop non-noble metal catalysts with high activity and high selectivity remains an important research direction.
[0005] In recent years, various non-noble metal complexes stabilized by amine-phosphine ligands have shown good catalytic effects in the hydrosilylation reaction of ketones. Among them, the Cu metal has the characteristics of rich content in nature and strong coordination ability, which have been noticed and studied by more and more scientific researchers. Currently, amine-phosphine ligand Cu complexes with relatively high activity have been developed and applied to catalyze the hydrosilylation reaction of ketones. On the basis of this research, we tried to design several novel iminophosphine ligands by ourselves. Under simpler operating conditions, target iminophosphine ligands were obtained by reacting cheaper amine compounds with precursor aldehyde compounds. Then, these ligands were combined with cheap and low-toxic metal Cu(I) to obtain the expected Cu(I) complexes. Further, these complexes were used to catalyze the hydrosilylation reaction of ketones to explore the catalytic performance of these Cu(I) complexes in the hydrosilylation reaction of ketones, and analyze them in combination with the structural characteristics of the complexes themselves, summarize the correlation between their catalytic activity and structure, and provide a reference for further designing Cu(I) complexes with higher catalytic activity in the future. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a synthesis method of a class of novel iminophosphine ligand copper(I) complexes and their application as catalytic materials in the hydrosilylation reduction reaction of ketones in view of the problems existing in the prior art.
[0007] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides four novel iminophosphine ligand copper(I) complexes, which are respectively of the structures of Formula 1 - Formula 4:
[0008]
[0009] The synthetic route of the iminophosphine ligand copper(I) complex is as follows:
[0010] Dissolve the iminophosphine ligand N,N'-[o-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]-4-benzoic acid amide and the copper salt [Cu(MeCN) 4 BF 4 in a dichloromethane / acetonitrile mixed solution, stir and react at room temperature, and the iminophosphine ligand copper(I) complex of Formula 1 structure can be obtained after treatment;
[0011] Dissolve the iminophosphine ligand N,N'-[o-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]-4-(methoxy)aniline and the copper salt [Cu(MeCN) 4 BF 4 in a dichloromethane / acetonitrile mixed solution, stir and react at room temperature, and the iminophosphine ligand copper(I) complex of Formula 2 structure can be obtained after treatment;
[0012] Dissolve the iminophosphine ligand N,N'-bis[o-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]ethylenediamine and the copper salt [Cu(MeCN) 4 BF 4 in a dichloromethane / acetonitrile mixed solution, stir and react at room temperature, and the iminophosphine ligand copper(I) complex of Formula 3 structure can be obtained after treatment;
[0013] Dissolve the iminophosphine ligand N,N'-bis[o-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]-1,4-butanediamine and the copper salt [Cu(MeCN) 4 BF 4 in a dichloromethane / acetonitrile mixed solution, stir and react at room temperature, and the iminophosphine ligand copper(I) complex of Formula 4 structure can be obtained after treatment;
[0014] The above copper(I) complex is used for the hydrosilylation reaction of ketones.
[0015] Compared with the existing catalysts, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. High yield and simple synthesis: The synthesis yield of the iminophosphine copper(I) complex is mostly not less than 70%, the synthesis process is simple, the product is easy to carry out single crystal cultivation, which is convenient for structure characterization and optimization.
[0017] 2. High catalytic performance: Under mild reaction conditions, the iminophosphine ligand copper(I) complex shows good catalytic activity for the hydrosilylation reduction reaction of acetophenone.
[0018] 3. Have the advantages of low cost and environmental friendliness: Copper is rich as a non-precious metal resource. Compared with precious metal catalysts (such as Ru, Rh, Ir, etc.), the catalytic cost is significantly reduced, and the feasibility of industrial application is improved. Moreover, the use of copper-based catalysts and hydride donors (PMHS) not only improves the catalytic efficiency but also reduces environmental pollution, meeting the concept of green chemistry.
