Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for anti-Markovnikov hydroselenation of aryl vinylenes. Background Art

[0002] Organic selenium compounds are widely used in the fields of synthetic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, material science, etc. Among various strategies for constructing C-Se bonds, the hydroselenation reaction of carbon-carbon double bonds is the simplest, most direct and atom-economic method. In the reported hydroselenation reactions of carbon-carbon double bonds, the double bonds mainly come from activated olefins, including α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, N-vinyl lactams, α,β-unsaturated thioamides, allenes, etc., while there is very little research on the hydroselenation reaction of aryl vinylenes, which are important representative substances of carbon-carbon double bonds.

[0003] In 2022, the research group of Yang Xiaohui carried out the reaction of rhodium-catalyzed styrene and benzeneselenol. Through the use of chiral ligands, the reaction can generate Markovnikov addition products with high stereoselectivity and regioselectivity. Two years later, the research group of Yang Xiaohui developed a photo-promoted reaction of styrene and benzeneselenol, which highly regioselectively generated anti-Markovnikov addition products, and disclosed that the presence of light and diphenyl diselenide is the decisive factor for the smooth occurrence of the anti-Markovnikov reaction. In 2025, the research group of Zhou Yunbing used Hantzsch ester as a hydrogen donor and carried out the hydroselenation of olefins with diselenide as the selenium source under green light. The electronic effect of diselenide greatly affects the regioselectivity of the hydroselenation reaction.

[0004] To sum up, in the hydroselenation reaction of styrene, the Markovnikov addition product is relatively easy to obtain, which is consistent with the regioselectivity of the hydroselenation reaction of activated carbon-carbon double bonds; conversely, the anti-Markovnikov addition product is difficult to obtain and requires the participation of light initiation, catalysts and a greatly excessive hydrogen donor reagent. Particularly noteworthy is that all the above-reported Markovnikov or anti-Markovnikov hydroselenation reactions of aryl vinylenes are carried out in chlorinated solvents (dichloromethane or dichloroethane) with certain toxicity, and the reaction conditions are extremely unfriendly to the environment. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a method for anti-Markovnikov hydroselenation of aryl vinylenes with simple operation and friendly reaction conditions. Summary of the Invention

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] This example relates to an anti-Markovnikov hydroselenylation method of aryl vinyl, which includes the following steps:

[0031] The reaction flask was deoxygenated by a protective gas. Deionized water (1 mL), styrene (0.75 mmol), and benzeneselenol (0.5 mmol) were added to the reaction flask. After stirring evenly, it was placed in an oil bath at 50 °C for heating for 6 h. After the reaction was completed, it was transferred with a small amount of ethyl acetate, and then separated by flash column chromatography to obtain a colorless and transparent oily substance. The structure of this oily substance was characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry, and was determined to be the anti-Markovnikov hydroselenylation product phenyl(phenylethyl)selane. The reaction formula is:

[0034] Example 2

[0035] On the basis of Example 1, the reaction temperature and / or reaction time were adjusted to carry out the anti - Markovnikov hydro - selenation of aryl ethylene. The isolated yields of the products with different reaction temperatures and times in Example 1 and Example 2 are shown in Table 1. It can be seen that under the reaction conditions of Examples 1 - 2 of the present invention, relatively high isolated yields were obtained. Among them, the yield was the highest when the reaction temperature was 50 °C and the time was 6 h, reaching 90%.

[0036] Table 1

[0037]

[0038] Example 3

[0039] On the basis of Example 1, the solvent dosage and the molar ratio of the substrate feed were adjusted to carry out the anti - Markovnikov hydro - selenation of aryl ethylene. Referring to Table 2, the amount of benzeneselenol in serial numbers 1 - 3 was 0.5 mmol, and the amount of styrene in serial numbers 4 - 6 was 0.5 mmol. The isolated yields of the products with different solvent addition amounts and substrate feed ratios in Example 1 and Example 3 are shown in Table 2. It can be seen that under the reaction conditions of Examples 1 and 3 of the present invention, relatively high isolated yields were obtained. Among them, the yield was the highest under the reaction conditions of a solvent dosage of 1 mL, a styrene amount of 0.5 mmol, and a benzeneselenol amount of 0.6 - 0.75 mmol, reaching 95%.

[0041]

[0042] Example 4

[0043] The difference between this example and Example 1 lies in that the addition amount of styrene is 0.5 mmol and the addition amount of phenylselenol is 0.6 mmol, and other steps and parameters remain unchanged.

[0044] In addition, the reaction substrate phenylselenol (labeled as 2) remains unchanged, and the reaction substrate styrene is replaced with the aryl vinyl compound substrate in Table 3 (labeled as 1). The corresponding product (labeled as 3) and the product separation yield are shown in Table 3. The reaction general formula is:

Among them, the highest yield reaches 99%.

[0052] Comparative Example 1

[0053] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the solvent was replaced with tetrahydrofuran, and other conditions and steps remained unchanged. The yield of the anti - Markovnikov hydro - selenation product obtained was only 27%.

[0054] Comparative Example 2

[0055] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the solvent was replaced with ethanol, and other conditions and steps remained unchanged. The yield of the anti-Markovnikov hydroselenation product was only 10%.

[0056] Comparative Example 3

[0057] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the solvent was replaced with n-butyl ether, and other conditions and steps remained unchanged. The yield of the anti-Markovnikov hydroselenation product was only 26%.

[0058] Comparative Example 4

[0059] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the solvent was replaced with dichloroethane, and other conditions and steps remained unchanged. The yield of the anti-Markovnikov hydroselenation product was only 68%, and dichloroethane has strong toxicity.

[0060] Comparative Example 5

[0061] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the solvent was replaced with chloroform, and other conditions and steps remained unchanged. The yield of the anti-Markovnikov hydroselenation product was only 42%, and chloroform has relatively high toxicity.

[0062] From the comparison between Comparative Examples 1-5 and Example 1, it can be seen that the method of the present invention has better anti-Markovnikov addition selectivity for aryl vinyl compounds and benzeneselenol only in deionized water solvent.

[0063] Comparative Example 6

[0064] The difference between this comparative example and Example 4 is that styrene was replaced with cyclohexene, and other conditions and steps remained unchanged. The reaction did not proceed at all.

[0065] Comparative Example 7

[0066] The difference between this comparative example and Example 4 is that styrene was replaced with 1-octene, and other conditions and steps remained unchanged. The reaction did not proceed at all.

[0067] From the comparison between Comparative Examples 6-7 and Example 4, it can be seen that the method of the present invention is only feasible for aryl olefins.

[0068] From the comparison between the above comparative examples and examples, it can be seen that the method of the present invention has excellent anti-Markovnikov addition selectivity only when the solvent is deionized water and the reaction substrate is aryl ethylene. The reaction proceeds through a radical process: when the reaction flask is deoxygenated by a protective gas, trace amounts of oxygen remaining in the reaction flask convert benzeneselenol (labeled 2) into benzeneselenyl cation radical, which is converted into benzeneselenyl radical I under the action of water. Subsequently, the generated benzeneselenyl radical undergoes a radical addition reaction with styrene (labeled 1a) to form a benzyl radical intermediate II. Intermediate II abstracts the hydrogen in benzeneselenol to generate the final product phenylphenylethyl selenide (labeled 3a) and regenerates benzeneselenyl radical I, specifically as Figure 1 shown.

[0069] In summary, the present invention uses deionized water as the solvent, and under a protective atmosphere, mixes an aryl ethylene compound and benzeneselenol in deionized water, and undergoes an anti-Markovnikov addition through a radical process to form an anti-Markovnikov hydroselenation product with a high yield. At the same time, the anti-Markovnikov hydroselenation method of the present invention does not require metal or photocatalysis, the raw materials are simple and easily available, the reaction is green and mild, has good regioselectivity, is carried out under deionized water conditions, is environmentally friendly, and provides a simple, effective and atom-economic new route for the hydroselenation of olefins.

Those skilled in the art understand that without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, various equivalent substitutions, modifications or improvements can be made to the technical solutions and their implementation manners of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of the present invention.
