Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the fields of electrocatalytic organic synthesis and hydrogen production technology, and more specifically, to a method for preparing organophosphorus oxides by electrolytic oxidation. Background Technology

[0002] Phosphorus is one of the most abundant non-metallic elements in the Earth's crust and is also an essential element for the growth and development of living organisms and plants. Therefore, phosphorus plays a crucial role in human life activities and industrial and agricultural production. Among the many phosphorus-containing compounds, organophosphorus oxides have attracted widespread attention from chemists due to their extensive applications in pesticides, pharmaceuticals, chiral catalysts, and materials. Therefore, developing efficient and highly selective methods for the synthesis of phosphorus oxides is of great research significance and application value for drug development and synthetic chemistry, and may even promote the development of more new methodologies. Traditional synthesis of phosphorus oxides involves homogeneous transition metal catalysts, dangerous free radical initiators, or external oxidants (organoalkanes, iodine(III) reagents, AIBN, K2S2O8, etc.). However, these synthetic methods require further product separation and harsh conditions, which seriously hinder their organic synthesis.

[0003] In recent years, organic electrosynthesis, known as a green synthesis technology, has gained increasing attention as a novel and effective chemical synthesis method. Currently, the synthesis of phosphine oxides mainly involves thermocatalysis and photocatalysis. These reactions require heat sources and excitation light sources, and necessitate the addition of reducing or oxidizing agents. The synthesis steps and reaction apparatus are relatively complex, resulting in numerous side reactions and difficulties in catalyst recovery. Summary of the Invention
