Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application provides a method for realizing transfer hydrogenation of non-activated olefins by a new photocatalytic assembly, and belongs to the field of organic small molecule synthesis and application, and particularly relates to a method for realizing transfer hydrogenation of non-activated olefins based on synergistic catalysis of light / cobalt / thiol. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the past, traditional transition metal complex catalytic systems (such as palladium, platinum, etc.) are the most commonly used method for olefin hydrogenation, but they have many problems such as dependence on high-pressure hydrogen, high cost of noble metals, and safety. In the current industry, there are some technical problems and defects in the hydrogenation of non-activated olefins, mainly manifested as: flammable and explosive hydrogen gas or complex hydride is commonly used as a hydrogen source; noble metal catalysts are involved in the hydrogenation process; some hydrogenation methods need to add excess oxidants to participate in the reaction cycle, or need to use excess additives; the developed method has harsh reaction conditions and produces unnecessary by-products.

[0003] In recent years, in the research method of olefin hydrogenation, complex catalysts based on abundant metals such as iron, cobalt, and manganese have gradually become the core carrier of hydrogen atom transfer reaction due to their unique electronic structure and coordination regulation ability; however, in addition to the need for silane compounds as a hydrogen source, these methods also need stoichiometric amounts of oxidants and proton sources and other hydrogen sources to achieve hydrogenation, and produce stoichiometric amounts of by-products. Recently, a cobalt-based photo-redox synergistic catalytic system has been proposed, which uses ascorbic acid as a single hydrogen source to initiate hydrogen atom transfer by exciting the trivalent cobalt intermediate with visible light, but only exhibits excellent activity in the hydrogenation of tri-substituted olefins. There is also a report (Nature 2023, 619, 506-513.) that water is used as a mild hydrogen source to activate olefins in photocatalysis, but it needs to use a noble metal photosensitizer and a stoichiometric and expensive triarylphosphine to activate water, and the substrate range is limited to terminal olefins.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method for olefin transfer hydrogenation based on a novel catalyst assembly to reduce the dependence on noble metals, high-pressure hydrogen, and oxidants, relax the reaction conditions, and broaden the substrate range. SUMMARY

In addition, the present application selects a cheap and commercially available cobalt-based metal catalyst, without the participation of other additives or oxidants in the reaction, and realizes catalytic circulation under visible light induction to promote efficient hydrogenation of non-activated olefins, the reaction conditions are mild, the hydrogenation efficiency is high, and the application scope is very wide.
