Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of organic chemical synthesis and relates to a preparation method of para-substituted biphenyl compounds. Background Art

[0002] Para-substituted biphenyl compounds are important organic compounds. Their structural general formula is shown in Formula 1 and they play a very important role in fields such as medicine, liquid crystal materials, and electronic components. First, the biphenyl structure is an important carrier for many drugs. For example, ethyl biphenylacetate is an antipyretic and analgesic drug with good efficacy. Second, biphenyl compounds can be applied in the field of new materials. For example, propyl-3,4-difluorobiphenyl is a monomer liquid crystal material with excellent properties. With the development of society, the demand for biphenyl compounds is increasing.

[0003]

[0004] Currently, the preparation methods of para-substituted biphenyl compounds are mainly as follows:

[0005] 1. Chen X Y, Nie X X et al. reported a synthesis method of para-substituted biphenyl compounds in Para-selective arylation and alkenylation of monosubstituted arenes using thianthrene S-oxide as a transient mediator, Chemical Communications, 2020, 56(37): 5058-5061. In this method, a sulfonium salt is used as a substrate and undergoes a coupling reaction with a phenylboronic acid derivative under the catalysis of palladium metal and in a basic environment to prepare biphenyl compounds. This method has high reaction efficiency and good selectivity, but the costs of phenylboronic acid derivatives and palladium metal are relatively high.

[0006] 2. Ma N-N, Ren J-A et al. reported a synthesis method of biphenyl compounds in Nickel-catalyzed direct cross-coupling of arylsulfonium salt with aryl bromide, Organic Letters, 2022, 24(10): 1953-1957. In this method, an onium salt and an aryl halide are used as substrates and react in the presence of a nickel catalyst, a phosphine ligand, magnesium chips, and lithium chloride to prepare biphenyl compounds. The molar ratio of magnesium chips to the substrate is 3:1, and the molar ratio of lithium chloride to the substrate is 2:1. This method requires a large number and variety of metals.

[0007] 3. Chinese Patent No. CN202211363361.3 discloses a method for synthesizing 4-alkyl-4-cyanobiphenyl, that is, bromination reaction is carried out, then the brominated biphenyl is coupled with dialkylcopper lithium, and then 4-alkyl-4-bromobiphenyl is substituted with metal cyanide to obtain 4-alkyl-4-cyanobiphenyl. Although this method reduces the activity requirements for halogenated hydrocarbons, the steps are cumbersome, and it requires halogens and other substances that pollute the environment. The use of copper lithium and metal cyanide is expensive and there is metal loss.

[0008] 4. Chinese Patent No. CN202110133894.1 discloses a method for preparing biphenyl compounds, that is, an arylboronic acid and a bromoarene are subjected to a coupling reaction under the conditions of an ethanol-water solvent and a functionalized magnetic complex heterogeneous catalyst. The catalyst of this method can be recycled, but the use of bromoarenes as substrates will produce polluting waste liquid after the reaction.

[0009] In summary, the traditional methods for preparing para-substituted biphenyl compounds need to use metal catalysts and bromoarene substrates, and have defects such as the need for precious metal raw materials, the generation of polluting waste liquid, and narrow application range. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Summary of the Invention
