Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing an asymmetrically substituted reaction intermediate. BACKGROUND

[0002] Organic semiconductor materials have many advantages such as complex and variable types, convenient structural design, convenient preparation and processing, and low application cost. Through the design of the structure of organic molecules, specific functions can be realized in response to environmental factors such as light, electricity, sound, heat, force and chemistry. Conjugated molecules with multiple rotational axis symmetry have three or more identical branch structures, more skeleton branches and active sites than linear molecules, and higher molar extinction coefficients, so they are popular molecules in the research of organic semiconductor materials. In the design and development of such molecules with multiple identical branch structures, substitution at the peripheral active sites is a common modification method. Taking star-shaped molecules with triple rotational axis symmetry as an example, some star-shaped molecules with different peripheral group substitutions and synthesis methods are shown below (J. Mater. Chem., 2005, 15, 2393-2398 | 2393, Adv. Funct. Mater. 2005, 15, No. 5, May, Chem. Eur. J. 2017, 23, 11611-11619). As can be seen, these synthesis methods are based on the symmetric substitution of star-shaped arenes. Due to the equivalence of the three-arm active sites of star-shaped arenes, it is difficult to achieve controllable asymmetric substitution of the three arms of star-shaped arenes by common synthesis methods. In addition, each branch of the molecule with multiple rotational axis symmetry has different influences on the photophysical properties and charge properties of the molecule, so the asymmetrically substituted derivatives of such molecules have broad research prospects in the field of optoelectronic materials. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple, efficient and universal asymmetric substitution synthesis method for conjugated molecules with multiple rotational axis symmetry.

[0004] (a-c) Structure and synthesis method of star-shaped conjugated molecules with phenyl, triazine and fused ring arene as core SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, one of the purposes of the present application is to provide a method for synthesizing an asymmetrically substituted reaction intermediate; a one-pot synthesis method for controllable asymmetric substitution between a bromine-substituted conjugated molecule with multiple rotational axis symmetry and an aldehyde-containing boronic acid / boronic acid ester.

[0006] The second purpose of the present application is to provide a method for adjusting the yield of target molecules with different numbers of substituents based on the above synthesis route.

[0007] The conjugated molecule with multiple rotational axis symmetry of the present application can be a star molecule, a triangular molecule, a polygonal molecule, etc. Specifically, the present application is illustrated by taking the reaction of a star azine molecule with triple rotational axis symmetry with 5-aldehyde-2-thiophene boronic acid as an example. The star azine molecule (NSA) was first reported by Xie's group in 2018 (Gao, H. Design and synthesis of luminescent materials based on BODIPY and B-N coordination chelates and their photophysical properties. [D]. South China University of Technology, 2018), which was synthesized by taking cyanuric chloride as the core and obtained by symmetric substitution. First, a star azine molecule with three bromine groups is prepared by a similar symmetric substitution route, and then under the mild conditions of a conventional Suzuki reaction, Suzuki coupling reaction and aldehyde group catalyzed hydrogenation substitution reaction occur simultaneously, and aldehyde group thiophene group monosubstituted, aldehyde group thiophene group disubstituted, aldehyde group thiophene group trisubstituted molecules are obtained in one step. Further, by optimizing the reaction conditions and adjusting the feed ratio, the yield of molecules with different number of substituents is adjusted.

[0008] In addition, the molecules synthesized by this route contain aldehyde groups on the outside, and the aldehyde group, as a group with high reactivity, can be conveniently functionalized and modified. As follows, two functionalization and modification routes of aldehyde groups are provided, using 3-(dicyanomethylene) indanone and melamine to react with aldehyde groups, respectively. The former can form the end group structure (IC end group) commonly used in solar cell acceptor materials, and the latter can introduce a diamino triazine group to construct a hydrogen-bonded organic framework material (HOF).
