Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of organic chemistry, in particular to a method for reducing alkynes to alkenes by using water as a hydrogen source. Background Art

[0002] The stereodivergent semihydrogenation reaction of alkynes plays an important role in organic synthesis. It can selectively obtain cis or trans alkenes, making them applicable to the preparation of bioactive molecules, natural products, drug molecules, etc. The classic Lindlar catalytic system is an important method for obtaining Z-alkenes. It is mostly used in the industrial preparation of cis alkenes, and can also be used to purify olefin products containing a small amount of alkynes. Although this method is simple and practical, it also has some problems, such as: isomerization of Z-alkenes to E-alkenes, excessive reduction of alkynes to alkanes rather than alkenes, and poor reproducibility. In addition, the reaction requires the addition of excess quinoline and the use of hydrogen as a hydrogen source, resulting in harmful waste and heavy metal residues in the product, which is dangerous and not conducive to sustainable development.

[0003] In recent years, methods for achieving hydrogen transfer using small molecule hydrogen sources have been widely developed, but most of them are based on precious metal catalytic systems, and most catalysts require multi-step synthesis, and the reaction system also faces problems such as a narrow substrate range. For example, Chinese invention patent 202110801019.6 discloses a method for selectively synthesizing cis- and trans-olefins by semi-reduction of alkynes using water as a hydrogen source catalyzed by precious metal palladium; Chinese invention patent 202110801026.6 discloses a method for selectively synthesizing cis- and trans-olefins by semi-reduction of alkynes catalyzed by iridium with water as a hydrogen source; In our previous research work, we developed a reaction system catalyzed by inexpensive metal nickel, using different bases for selective regulation to reduce alkynes to cis- and trans-olefins, respectively (Chinese invention application number is 2021 10289237.6), but a small amount of olefin isomers were inevitably produced in the product; in 2018, Liu Qiang's research group at Tsinghua University prepared Co catalysts modified with different ligands and applied them to the stereodivergent semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes, using ammonia borane as the hydrogen source, and the reaction stereoselectivity was 1:1->99:1 (J.Am.Chem.Soc.2016,138,8588-8594); Fan Baomin's research group developed a cobalt-catalyzed method for the semi-hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes in 2019, using water as the hydrogen source and zinc powder as a reducing agent to assist the catalytic cycle, but its cis- and trans-selective stereoisomers were also generated (Chem.Commun.2019,55,5663-5666).

[0004] In summary, the semi-hydrogenation reaction of alkynes using water as the hydrogen source has made great progress in recent years, but there are still problems such as high catalyst cost, multiple synthesis steps and difficulty in avoiding stereoisomers. Summary of the invention

[0005] Preparing E-type and Z-type olefins with good yield and selectivity through selective regulation is an inevitable requirement for sustainable development, and is also a meaningful and challenging task.
