Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of chemical engineering, and particularly to a method for efficiently preparing fluorene derivatives by ball milling method. Background Art
[0002] The descriptions in this section only provide background information related to the present disclosure and do not constitute prior art. Fluorene is an important functional structure, widely present in various natural products and organic functional materials. In the pharmaceutical field, 9,9-disubstituted fluorene can be used to manufacture antispasmodics, sedatives, analgesics, antihypertensive drugs, etc. In the field of optoelectronic materials, 9,9-dimethylfluorene has strong fluorescence emission properties and is commonly used in organic synthesis and the preparation of optoelectronic materials, especially in important applications in optoelectronic devices and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other fields.
[0003] Therefore, the synthesis of fluorene has attracted extensive research, including traditional Friedel-Crafts reactions, modification of existing fluorene core structures, and other methods. Although current methods can efficiently prepare various fluorenes, there are still problems such as the unavailability of starting materials and limited substrate scope. In related technologies, it is utilized that the 9-position proton of fluorene is acidic and can be removed by a base to generate an aromatic anion, which, as a nucleophile, can undergo a substitution reaction with an electrophile at the 9-position to obtain various 9,9-position modified fluorene derivatives. However, there are fewer methods for directly constructing 9,9-disubstituted fluorene through a cyclization reaction using biphenyl derivatives as raw materials. In related technologies, there is a method for directly constructing 9,9-disubstituted fluorene through a cyclization reaction. However, the raw material used in this method is diphenyliodonium salt, and from a synthetic perspective, the raw material is not easily available, the preparation steps are numerous, and the efficiency is reduced. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, this application provides a method for efficiently preparing fluorene derivatives by ball milling method, which uses common and easily available biphenyl derivatives as raw materials and directly and efficiently performs a cyclization reaction in one pot to prepare 9,9-disubstituted fluorene derivatives.

Among them, when dimethyl sulfoxide is used as the solubilizing solvent, the yield is the best.
