Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic compound preparation, specifically relating to a method for preparing aromatic amine compounds. Background Technology

[0002] Aromatic amines are important intermediates in the fine chemical, dye, and pigment industries. Amines are widely distributed in nature and possess a wide range of biological activities. The reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline is one of the most important reactions in aromatic chemistry. There are many methods for nitro reduction, including: reduction with a metal and hydrochloric acid (common metals include zinc and iron, suitable for compounds stable to acids); catalytic hydrogenation using catalysts such as Pt and Ni; and mild reduction that can reduce only the nitro group. There are also some characteristic reduction reactions of nitrobenzene, such as the reduction to phenylhydroxylamine with zinc under weakly acidic conditions; and reduction under alkaline conditions, yielding azobenzene in aqueous solution and hydrazine in alcoholic solution.

[0003] However, various reaction transition states exist in this type of nitro reduction method. The appearance of nitroso, azobenzene, and hydrazine is unavoidable. When tracking the reaction, many reaction points can usually be seen. Under normal circumstances, if the reaction time is appropriately extended, these intermediates will be basically completely reduced. However, the recovery of metal ions is relatively difficult. Some of these technologies have great limitations in terms of safety and operation.

[0004] Triethylsilane is an inexpensive, stable, and low-toxicity substance that is often used as a cleaning agent. On the other hand, due to its... Due to its compatibility with acids, transition metals (such as Pd, Pt, Mo, Ni, Au, Mn, Rh, Ru, Os, and Ir) and their complexes, triethylsilane is widely used as a reducing agent in chemical reactions. Its ability to protect (silanize) and derive various compounds (such as alcohols, phenols, thiols, amines, carbonyl groups, carboxylic acids, amides, alkenes, and enols) is beneficial in various fields, such as modern natural product synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Over the past four decades, triethylsilane has shown great promise as an alternative reducing agent for the hydrogenation of alkenes and CN / CO / SO groups, as well as for the regioselective hydrogenation of multifunctional scaffolds.

[0005] Maryam Mirza-Aghayana et al. (Palladium-catalyzed reduction of nitroaromatic compounds to the corresponding anilines) reported in 2010 the reduction of nitroaromatic compounds to the corresponding anilines using PdCl2-Et3SiH system under mild conditions. Different nitroaromatic compounds were directly reacted with Et3SiH in ethanol in the presence of 10 mol% PdCl2 at room temperature with high yield, but inert atmosphere and anhydrous solvent were required, and it was limited to nitroaromatic compounds.

[0006] CN 1660771A reported in 2004 that nitrobenzene was reduced at high temperature in the presence of alcohol solution and catalyst, wherein the catalyst was Pt / Al2O3, NiB, Renay-Ni. Although this invention reduces the reaction steps and simplifies the production process, the reaction temperature is high, which is easy to cause resource waste and is not conducive to green production. SUMMARY

[0009] A preparation method of aromatic amine compounds, using aromatic nitro compounds as raw materials, in a triethylsilane and iodine elemental system, under room temperature conditions, one-step reaction to obtain aromatic amine compounds.
