Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic compounds, specifically to a 1,3,5-triarylbenzene compound and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] 1,3,5-Triarylbenzenes are a class of aromatic compounds with unique C3 symmetry structures, serving as important functional modules for constructing dendritic macromolecules, organic conductive polymers, and polarization nonlinear optical materials. In recent years, due to their special properties, they have found significant applications in pharmaceuticals, photosensitive materials for photographic technology, and the synthesis of conjugated star-shaped aryl polymers. They are also a promising class of electroluminescent organic molecules and important intermediates in organic synthesis; triphenylbenzene, with the introduction of certain functional groups, can serve as a core functional module for further constructing dendritic macromolecules and various polyphenylene compounds. Therefore, the synthesis of 1,3,5-triarylbenzene compounds has become a meaningful research topic.
[0003] In 2022, Midya used palladium-catalyzed nitroolefins to obtain symmetrical 1,3,5-triarylbenzene compounds in high yields. The broad substrate range, functional group tolerance, and product diversity make this method very attractive [Organic Letters 2022, 24(24), 4438-4443], but it requires palladium catalysis, which is costly.
[0004]
[0005] The method for synthesizing a 1,3,5-triarylbenzene compound disclosed in CN105037072A published on November 11, 2015, involves dissolving a chalcone derivative and an inorganic base in dimethyl sulfoxide, reacting the mixture in air at 40–80°C for 3–8 hours, and then separating and purifying the mixture to obtain the 1,3,5-triarylbenzene compound.
[0006] It requires the use of dimethyl sulfoxide, which has a certain degree of toxicity. Summary of the Invention
