Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of compound synthesis, and specifically relates to a substituted cyclopentadiene and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cyclopentadiene is an important C5 component raw material in the synthetic industry. Its chemical properties are active and can undergo various types of reactions. As a stable ligand, cyclopentadienyl can form a variety of stable metal complexes by coordinating with metal ions through ionic bonds or π bonds. According to the characteristics of different metal cyclopentadiene complexes, they can be used as metal precursors, catalysts, organic hydrogenation reagents, explosion-proof agents and many other chemical raw materials or preparations. By adjusting the substituent modification on cyclopentadiene, the properties of cyclopentadienyl metal complexes can be optimized, and cyclopentadiene with different substituents can be synthesized.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN102844284A discloses a method for synthesizing a substituted cyclopentadiene compound, using a cyclopentadienyl Grignard reagent (CpMgX) and a halogenated alkane (RX) to react by heating in tetrahydrofuran, removing the solvent in vacuo after the reaction, extracting the product with pentane, filtering and separating and washing the solid phase, collecting and merging the liquid phase, and then removing pentane to obtain the corresponding product. This scheme requires the preparation of a cyclopentadienyl Grignard reagent in advance, and the reaction process requires heating, and the extraction process requires the use of other solvents, and the synthesis steps are complicated.

[0004] The document "Journal of the American Chemical Society 2018, 140(47), 16253-16263" discloses a method for continuously synthesizing substituted cyclopentadiene using cyclopentadiene, which specifically comprises: under low temperature conditions, adding 1.2 molar equivalents of n-butyl lithium hexane solution (n-BuLi in hexane) dropwise to a freshly prepared 1.1 molar equivalents of cyclopentadiene tetrahydrofuran solution (Cp in THF); after reacting for 1 hour, adding 1 molar equivalent of halogenated hydrocarbon dropwise to the reaction system, reacting at room temperature for 48-72 hours, and obtaining a substituted cyclopentadiene product after extraction, concentration and purification. After the reaction is completed, this solution needs to perform an extraction operation to remove the by-product salt and tetrahydrofuran, and obtain the product after purification. On the one hand, due to the reaction by-products, they need to be extracted, concentrated and purified, resulting in the need to use a large amount of organic solvents in the preparation process, and there are many reaction and post-treatment steps, resulting in relatively large product losses, resulting in a low yield of finished products; on the other hand, the reaction time itself is too long, resulting in a long production cycle, low production capacity and high energy consumption in the production process.
