Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis reaction, and particularly relates to a synthesis method of a styrene compound. BACKGROUND

[0002] The styrene compound is a kind of potential chiral olefin compound and important chemical intermediate, has wide application in the fields of medicine, material science and chemical industry, and can be used for synthesizing drug molecules, functional materials and key intermediates of natural products. The compound is widely present in natural products. The addition reaction of C-H bond activation to alkyne is a high-efficiency and atom-economical carbon-carbon double bond construction method, which is widely applied in drug synthesis, natural product synthesis and material chemistry. Among them, the positioning group (DG) and the transient positioning group (TDG) are two important methods of C-H bond activation. Through transition metal catalysis and chiral ligand design, the high-selective C-H bond activation and alkyne addition reaction can quickly construct the olefin structure.

[0003] The traditional synthesis method of the styrene compound depends on multiple synthesis steps, has relatively narrow functional group compatibility, and has low atom economy and step economy. For example, the Wittig reaction technology usually only utilizes the carbonyl oxygen atom of aldehyde, and has poor atom economy; the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction technology is often long in steps and needs high temperature or polymerization inhibitor to prevent product polymerization, and has harsh conditions. In addition, the reaction environment of the traditional method often needs strong base, strong acid or high temperature condition, which is easy to damage sensitive groups, and results in low functional group compatibility.

[0004] Therefore, the technology of designing and preparing the styrene compound by means of the C-H bond activation and alkyne addition reaction to quickly construct the olefin structure still needs to be researched, and it is urgent to develop a more efficient and simple synthesis strategy of the styrene compound. SUMMARY

[0005] The application aims to provide a synthesis method of a styrene compound. The transient positioning group (TDG) is combined with the substrate through a covalent bond, has high selectivity and does not need pre-modification, and is environment-friendly. The application is based on the synergistic catalysis of a rhodium catalyst and a transient positioning group, uses phenolic compounds and alkyne compounds as reactants, and prepares the styrene compound by means of the C-H bond activation and alkyne addition reaction to quickly construct the olefin structure. The method has the advantages of cheap and easily available raw materials, simple reaction operation, high yield of the target product obtained in one step, good functional group compatibility, simple post-treatment and good application potential.
