Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of transition metal-catalyzed organic synthesis, and specifically relates to a method for synthesizing triaryl-substituted ethylene compounds.
Background Art
[0002] Triaryl ethylene (TAE) is an important class of organic molecular skeletons containing a large π-conjugated structure. This unique structure makes it play an important role in related fields such as optoelectronic materials and medicinal chemistry. Polymerizable aggregation-induced emission multi-substituted triaryl ethylene can be used for the preparation of fluorescent materials, such as photochromic materials and organic light-emitting diodes. With the wide application of TAE skeleton molecules in various fields, studying efficient methods for synthesizing TEA is a very meaningful research work. Therefore, the synthesis of triaryl-substituted ethylene compounds has always been the focus of attention of scientific researchers.
[0003] Currently, the methods commonly used for synthesizing the TAE skeleton mainly include the McMurry coupling reaction, that is, the condensation and deoxygenation of two carbonyl groups of aryl aldehydes and aryl ketones under the action of reducing metals and low-valent titanium to obtain triaryl ethylene, or the coupling of aryl halides with olefins to synthesize the TAE skeleton, and the configuration of the ethylene product is regulated by different types of olefins. However, these chemical reactions usually require harsh reaction conditions, the raw materials are sensitive to water and air, unstable and highly toxic, and at the same time produce stoichiometric by-products, with low atom utilization rate and serious pollution.
[0004] Olefin compounds are widely present in nature, are cheap and easily available, and have low toxicity. They are widely used as ideal raw materials in organic synthesis. In 2020, the Lin Guoqiang research group of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry reported the migratory coupling reaction of 2-alkenyl bromobenzene and aryl boronic acid esters. Through the strategy of 1,4-palladium migration, after activating the alkenyl C–H bond, a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction occurs to prepare a series of triaryl ethylene compounds with high configurational selectivity, and the configurations of multiple single crystals determine the products. This reaction uses palladium acetate as a catalyst, large steric hindrance (2-MeO-Ph) 3 P as a ligand, and cesium pivalate as a base. Heating to 110 °C in tetrahydrofuran and reacting for 3 h can obtain the target product with high to moderate yields. However, this method uses toxic organic halides as raw materials and is more sensitive to air and water. Therefore, we have invented a method for synthesizing triaryl-substituted ethylene compounds, which uses 2-(1-phenylethenyl)benzoic acid and benzoxazole compounds as raw materials, and synthesizes triaryl-substituted ethylene compounds through palladium acetate catalysis. This method requires no special equipment, is simple to operate, has high yields, a wide range of applications, and has certain industrial application value.
Summary of the Invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for highly efficiently and selectively synthesizing the TAE skeleton by using palladium acetate as a catalyst, a carboxylic acid compound and a heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon as raw materials, and activating the C–H of the intramolecular olefin through a 1,4-palladium migration strategy of an arylpalladium intermediate and then coupling with one molecule of aromatic hydrocarbon. This method has the advantages of simple operation, few additives, and high yield, and has a certain feasibility for realizing its industrial production.
