Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to compound preparation, belonging to the field of organic synthesis, and specifically to a method for synthesizing fluoroallyl alcohol. Background Art
[0002] Alcohols are among the most readily available and important organic compounds, occurring extensively in natural products and pharmaceuticals. Fluoroallyl alcohols, among them, are versatile building blocks and important synthetic building blocks. Efficient synthesis of these compounds is a significant need in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.
[0003] Conventional synthesis involves the nucleophilic addition reaction of a Grignard reagent with a fluoroacrylic acid derivative (Formula 1). However, this method requires a long route, high Grignard reagent activity, poor functional group compatibility, harsh reaction conditions, and a relatively low temperature, making the operation cumbersome.
[0004]
[0005] The ring-opening reaction of gem-difluorocyclopropylstannane can also be used to synthesize fluoroallyl alcohol (Formula 2). However, the reaction has a long synthesis process and requires a low temperature of -78 degrees Celsius. The synthesis of gem-difluorocyclopropylstannane is difficult and the substrate application range is narrow.
[0006]
[0007] In addition, the Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction also provides a method for preparing fluoroallyl alcohols (Formula 3). However, this reaction requires the use of an excess of toxic metallic chromium, has a narrow substrate application range, and can only be used to synthesize secondary alcohols.
[0008] Summary of the Invention
[0009] Alcohol compounds are readily available and inexpensive, and the direct synthesis of fluoroallyl alcohols from these low-molecule alcohols holds significant synthetic value. This invention addresses the shortcomings of current fluoroallyl alcohol synthesis methods, including long reaction routes, a narrow substrate range, poor functional groups, the need for excessive amounts of toxic reagents, and harsh reaction conditions. Using inexpensive and readily available alcohol compounds as raw materials, the present invention efficiently and conveniently synthesizes fluoroallyl alcohols.
[0010] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for synthesizing fluoroallyl alcohol, characterized in that: fluoroacrylic acid and an alcohol compound are used as raw materials, tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium is used as a catalyst, triethylenediamine is used as a base, tert-butyl perbenzoate is used as an initiator, and acetonitrile is used as a solvent, and a reaction is carried out according to the following reaction formula to obtain a class of fluoroallyl alcohol compounds having the general formula (I):
[0011]
[0012] Wherein R1 is hydrogen, halogen, ester group, cyano group, trifluoromethyl group, etc.; R2 is hydrogen, methyl group, and R3 is methyl, ethyl, ester group, cyano group, carbonyl group, halogen group, etc.
[0013] Preferably, the amount of tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium is 1% of the amount of fluoroacrylic acid.
[0014] Preferably, the amount of triethylenediamine as the base is 1 times the amount of fluoroacrylic acid.
[0015] Preferably, the amount of t-butyl perbenzoate is 3 times the amount of fluoroacrylic acid.
[0016] Preferably, the wavelength of the illumination is 465 nanometers, the reaction time is 24 to 48 hours, and the reaction temperature is room temperature.
[0017] This method, for the first time, achieves the efficient and highly selective preparation of fluoroallyl alcohol using alcohol and fluoroacrylic acid as raw materials. The reaction utilizes readily available, inexpensive raw materials, and produces high product yields and selectivity. The reaction system features a simple feed system, good functional group compatibility, a wide range of substrates, and high synthetic economic value. This provides an efficient, convenient, and economical method for the preparation of fluoroallyl alcohol. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
