Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically involving two polyaldehyde organic monomers (including monosilicon monomers and disilicon monomers) based on silanoxy compounds and their preparation methods. Background Technology
[0002] Since the 21st century, crystalline or amorphous porous organic polymer materials have become a new type of porous material. Among them, crystalline porous organic polymer materials are also known as covalent organic frameworks (COFs), which have a wide range of potential applications in separation, storage, catalysis, sensing, and drug sustained release. Schiff base reaction is one of the most common polymerization reactions for constructing porous organic polymer materials, especially covalent organic frameworks. One of the prerequisites for polymerizing porous organic polymer materials through Schiff base reaction is to obtain aromatic organic monomers with polyaldehyde groups. The synthesis of aromatic organic monomers with polyaldehyde groups is usually carried out through the following two routes: (1) First, a brominated intermediate is obtained, and then the brominated intermediate is subjected to halide lithium exchange with an organolithium reagent, and then reacted with N,N'-dimethylformamide to convert the brominated site into an aldehyde group; (2) Boric acid or borate ester with aldehyde groups is used as a precursor, and monomers containing aromatic aldehydes are obtained by coupling through Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Both of these methods have their own advantages, disadvantages and limitations. The advantage of method (1) is that the intermediate is relatively easy to obtain, but its success depends on the activity of the brominated intermediate. Moreover, it has high requirements for the anhydrous and oxygen-free synthesis environment, reactants and solvents. Especially when synthesizing products with more than three aldehyde groups, the brominated sites often cannot be completely converted into aldehyde groups, resulting in many byproducts with similar properties that are difficult to separate. Method (2) is relatively mature and efficient, and is also one of the commonly used methods in the literature. However, it cannot simply introduce aldehyde groups, but requires the introduction of aldehyde groups with benzene rings. This results in longer branched chains of the designed and synthesized multi-aldehyde organic monomers, larger monomer molecules, and poor solubility, which increases the difficulty of subsequent Schiff base polymerization to synthesize porous organic polymers.
[0003] Currently, companies such as Jilin Zhongke Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Jinan Henghua Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Kaishu Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Tengqian Biotechnology Co., Ltd. have all developed and produced various polyaldehyde-containing aromatic organic monomers, which are sold to research institutions for constructing porous organic polymer materials. The polyaldehyde-containing organic monomers provided by this invention have excellent properties and can also be used in the construction of porous organic polymer materials. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The objective of this invention is to provide a novel synthetic method—a method for synthesizing silicon-centric, polyaldehyde-containing organic monomers (including monosilicon monomers and disilicon monomers) through a two-step reaction using aromatic silaneoxy compounds as substrates, and to synthesize two novel polyaldehyde aromatic organic monomers using this method. This objective is achieved as follows:

[0006]
[0007] In the organosilicon substrate, R1 can be any one of the following groups:
[0008]
[0009] In the organosilicon substrate, R2 can be either methyl or ethyl.
[0010] (2) Synthesis of a disilicon-centered hexaaldehyde-based organosilicon monomer (disilicon monomer):
[0011]
[0012] In the organosilicon substrate, X can be any one of the following groups:
[0013]
[0014] Preferably, the organic monomers containing multiple aldehyde groups centered on silicon atoms obtained in this invention are monosilicon trialdehyde monomer compound 1 and disilicon hexaaldehyde monomer compound 2, and their structural formulas are shown below:
[0015]
[0016] The present invention discloses a method for preparing a silicon-centered organic monomer containing multiple aldehyde groups from an aromatic silanoxy compound, the steps of which are as follows:
[0017] (1) In an inert gas atmosphere, add 7.6 mmol of 4-bromobenzaldehyde dimethyl acetal and 20-300 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (dried with sodium sand) to a Schlenk flask and mix well, then cool to -100 to 0℃.
[0018] (2) Slowly add 7.6 to 15.2 mmol of n-butyllithium solution (solvents such as hexane, heptane, petroleum ether, benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.) to the reaction system obtained in step (1) using a syringe, and react at -100 to 0°C for 1 to 4 hours;
[0019] (3) Add 1-4 mmol of organosilicon substrate to the reaction system obtained in step (2), react at -100 to 0°C for 1-4 hours, then return to room temperature and stir overnight;
[0020] (4) Add 5-20 mL of distilled water to the reaction system obtained in step (3) to quench the reaction, then extract with 30-100 mL of ethyl acetate 3-5 times, combine the organic phases, dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, distill the organic phase under reduced pressure, and then perform column chromatography with ethyl acetate and petroleum ether to obtain the intermediate product.
[0021] (5) Dissolve the intermediate product obtained in step (4) in 30-100 mL of dichloromethane, then add 10-50 mL of trifluoroacetic acid and stir overnight at room temperature;
[0022] (6) Add saturated sodium bicarbonate solution to the reaction system obtained in step (5) to neutralize to pH=7, then extract with 30-100 mL of ethyl acetate 3-5 times, combine the organic phases, dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and distill the organic phase under reduced pressure to obtain the silicon-centered polyaldehyde organic monomer of the present invention.
[0023] In summary, this invention synthesizes organosilicon monomers containing multiple aldehyde groups through a simpler and lower-cost method, achieving a purity of over 96%. This enriches the methods for synthesizing organic monomers that can be used to prepare porous organic polymers, and provides an important foundation for designing and synthesizing porous organic polymer materials with novel structures and functions, as well as reducing the cost of porous organic polymers.
