Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthetic chemistry, specifically relating to an electrochemically promoted method for the synthesis of selenium phenyl-substituted alkyne derivatives. Background Technology

[0002] Alkynes, as an important class of organic compounds, occupy a pivotal position in the fields of organic synthesis and materials science due to their unique reactivity and linear geometry. Chemical reviews ,2015, 115(17): 9028-9072; Chemical Reviews ,2016, 116(10): 5894-5986.). They are not only key precursors for constructing a variety of complex organic molecules, but also have wide applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and functional materials. Chemical Reviews ,2021, 121(12): 6744-6776; Chemical Society Reviews ,2016, 45(8): 2212-2238.). With the advancement of science and technology and the growth of demand, the efficient and selective functionalization of alkynes has become one of the hot topics in chemical research. Among them, the bifunctionalization reaction has attracted much attention because it can introduce two functional groups at once. Nature Reviews Chemistry ,2023, 7(6): 405-423; Angewandte Chemie International Edition ,2019, 58(34): 11704-11708.).

[0003] In the research background of alkyne difunctionalization reactions, significant progress has been made in the difunctionalization reactions of substituted alkynes. Nature communications ,2018, 9(1): 4543; Nature Catalysis ,2019, 2(6):529-536.). These types of reactions typically rely on metal-catalyzed strategies, enabling highly selective functionalization under mild conditions, providing a powerful tool for synthesizing organic molecules with specific structures and functions. However, although research on substituted alkynes is quite mature, research on the bifunctionalization reactions of acetylene, as the simplest alkyne, is relatively lagging behind. Chemical reviews ,2014, 114(3): 1761-1782; ACS Catalysis ,2023, 13(4): 2422-2431.), and in known reports of acetylene difunctionalization, acetylene is usually used as an alkenyl or alkyl source, and 1,2-difunctional / alkynylation reactions using acetylene as an alkynyl source have not been reported (except for base-promoted multi-step synthetic methods).

[0004] Currently, acetylene-based 1,2-bifunctional / alkynylation reactions heavily rely on multi-step synthetic strategies under basic conditions, requiring four separate reaction steps: strong base removal of one end of the acetylene → reaction with an electrophile → strong base secondary hydrogen removal → reaction with another electrophile molecule. This approach suffers from drawbacks such as low step economy and atom economy, harsh reaction conditions, and poor functional group compatibility. Angewandte Chemie International Edition ,2018, 57(33),10718-10722.). Green 1,2-bifunctional / alkynylation based on acetylene has not yet been studied.

[0005] In light of this, our research group has long been engaged in the study of 1,2-bifunctional / alkynylation reactions of acetylene. We have achieved a highly efficient alkynylation bifunctionalization reaction of acetylene with diselenyl ether derivatives under electrochemical conditions. This breakthrough opens a novel pathway for the synthesis of selenylphenyl-substituted alkyne derivatives. It is worth emphasizing that this method eliminates the dependence on metal catalysts or additional oxidants. Furthermore, this synthetic strategy demonstrates unique environmental advantages, with a simple and rapid operation process, and can effectively fix acetylene gas under ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention aims to achieve the green bifunctionalization reaction of acetylene through an innovative electrochemically promoted strategy, thereby constructing a rich variety of selenylphenyl alkyne derivatives.

[0007] The present invention utilizes acetylene and diselenyl ether derivatives as starting materials, tetrabutylammonium iodide as the electrolyte, dimethyl sulfoxide as the solvent, a graphite rod as the anode, and a platinum sheet as the cathode. The reaction is carried out under stirring at a current of 6 mA to construct selenylphenyl ynylated derivatives in one step. This strategy eliminates the need for metal catalysts or additional oxidants, and successfully synthesizes selenylphenyl ynylated derivatives at room temperature. Furthermore, this synthetic strategy is not only environmentally friendly but also simple to operate, achieving effective acetylene fixation under normal pressure, significantly enhancing its practicality.

[0008] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0009] An electrochemically promoted synthesis method for selenylphenyl-substituted alkyne derivatives includes the following steps: In an unseparated electrolytic cell, a diselenyl ether derivative, electrolyte, and solvent are added, and an anode and cathode are inserted. An acetylene balloon is then connected to the reaction system, and the reaction is carried out at room temperature for 7 hours. After the reaction, the crude product is obtained by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure. Finally, the selenylphenyl-substituted alkyne derivative is purified by column chromatography. Furthermore, the chemical reaction equation for preparing selenylphenyl-substituted alkynylated derivatives is shown below:

[0010] In the formula, R is selected from one of phenyl, 4-fluorophenyl, 4-methylphenyl, 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, 4-tert-butylphenyl, 2-methylphenyl, 2-fluorophenyl, 3-nitrophenyl, 3-methylphenyl and benzyl.

[0011] Furthermore, the electrolyte is selected from one of tetrabutylammonium iodide, tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate, tetrabutylammonium thiocyanate and tetrabutylammonium perchlorate, preferably tetrabutylammonium iodide.

[0012] Furthermore, the solvent is selected from one of dimethyl sulfoxide, 1,2-dichloroethane, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and ethanol, preferably dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0013] Furthermore, the anode electrode material is one of graphite rod and stainless steel sheet (SS), preferably graphite rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the cathode electrode material is one of stainless steel sheet (SS), platinum sheet, nickel sheet, and graphite rod, preferably platinum sheet.

[0015] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the diselenyl ether compound to the electrolyte is 1:1 to 2, preferably 1:2.

[0016] Furthermore, the electrolysis current is 6-10 mA, preferably 6 mA.

[0017] Furthermore, the separation method for the crude selenylphenyl-substituted alkyne derivative is column chromatography. Petroleum ether and ethyl acetate are used as eluents in the column chromatography, with a volume ratio of petroleum ether:ethyl acetate = 1~100:1, preferably 100:1.

[0018] The principle of this invention is as follows: First, the iodide anion of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) is anoly oxidized to generate an iodine radical. Subsequently, the iodine radical undergoes a single-electron transfer with diselenyl ether to generate a diselenyl ether radical cation. This intermediate is unstable and immediately decomposes to generate a selenophenyl cation and a selenophenyl radical. The selenophenyl radical captures acetylene to generate an alkenyl radical intermediate. This radical intermediate is then anoly oxidized to generate a selenoium ion. Immediately afterwards, the selenoium ion and the iodide anion combine to form an alkenyliodine intermediate, which loses hydrogen iodide to generate a terminal alkyne intermediate. This intermediate undergoes the same process to form the final target product.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: (1) This invention realizes the 1,2-bifunctional / alkynylation reaction of acetylene under electrochemical conditions, and successfully synthesizes a series of selenylphenyl alkynylated derivatives that were previously difficult to prepare. It is worth noting that there are very few reports on electrochemically promoted bifunctionalization reactions of acetylene, and no reports have been found on green alkynylation reactions of acetylene.

[0020] (2) This invention uses acetylene as the alkynyl C2 synthon and successfully achieves the bifunctionalization reaction of acetylene under mild conditions. This synthetic method is significantly different from existing technologies. This strategy avoids the use of metal catalysts and equivalent toxic oxidants, and the synthesis of selenylphenyl alkynylation derivatives can be successfully achieved at room temperature. In addition, this synthetic strategy is simple to operate and can achieve effective fixation of acetylene under normal pressure, which significantly improves the practicality of this synthetic strategy.
