Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to organic synthesis, and particularly to the synthesis of phosphine. Background Art
[0002] When catalyzing the hydroformylation reaction of olefins, the rhodium catalyst with a phosphine ligand containing an electron-withdrawing substituent has much higher catalytic activity than the ligand without an electron-withdrawing substituent, and the selectivity is improved. At the same time, as the number of electron-withdrawing groups in the substituent increases, both the linear aldehyde selectivity and the catalytic activity increase significantly. Therefore, the method for synthesizing phosphine ligands with electron-withdrawing groups has received extensive attention. However, among the reported electron-withdrawing phosphine ligands, most of them introduce electron-withdrawing groups such as -F and -CF3. Although the introduction of these groups significantly improves the catalytic activity of the hydroformylation reaction, their synthetic routes are complex and cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0028] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the terms used herein should be understood as having the meanings as commonly used in the art. Therefore, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as the general understanding of those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs. In case of conflict, this specification shall prevail.
[0029] Unless otherwise specifically stated, various raw materials, reagents, instruments, and equipment used in the present application can be obtained through market purchases or can be prepared by existing methods.
[0030] The existing synthesis routes of phosphine ligands have complex and cumbersome technical problems.
[0031] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the general idea is as follows:
[0032] First, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a phosphine compound. Please refer to Figure 1 , and the method for preparing the phosphine compound includes the following steps:
[0033] S11: Mix compound A, a base, phosphorus trihalide, and an organic solvent under a first temperature and an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a mixture;
[0034] S12: Heat the mixture to a second temperature and react for a predetermined time to obtain the phosphine compound.
[0035] Among them, compound A is one of the molecules represented by the following general formula:
[0036] The number of group X is 1 to 6, group X is connected to any one of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th positions of indole, and group X is a cyano group or a cyanoethyl group.
[0037] As an example, when group X is a cyano group, the reaction equation is as follows:
[0038]
[0039] In this application, by directly reacting compound A with phosphorus trihalide, a phosphine compound can be obtained. The synthetic route is simple and the process is easy to operate.
[0040] In addition, the phosphine compound prepared by the method described in this application has high activity. After binding with rhodium, it can catalyze the hydroformylation reaction of olefins at low temperature and has good linear aldehyde selectivity.
[0041] The phosphine compound prepared by the method described in this application has multiple cyano groups or cyanoethyl groups, and can be coordinated with transition metal ions and assembled into a supramolecular coordination polymer, which is beneficial to the recovery and recycling of the catalyst.
[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the molar ratio of compound A to the base is 1:0.5 to 2.
[0043] In this application, the base acts as a catalyst, and a sufficient amount is sufficient.
[0044] As an example, the molar ratio of compound A to the base can be 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the molar ratio of phosphorus trihalide to compound A is 1:3 to 4.
[0046] The beneficial effect of the molar ratio of phosphorus trihalide to compound A being 1:3 to 4 is to ensure that compound A is sufficient or in excess.
[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the base is at least one of KOH, DMAP, NEt3, NaH, and DIPA.
[0048] Those skilled in the art can select one of the above bases according to the acidity of the N-H bond in the indole ring.
[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the organic solvent is at least one of toluene, n-hexane, ether, and tetrahydrofuran.
[0050] The above solvents do not react with the reactants and products, have good solubility for the reactants and products, and have a low boiling point, making it easy to separate from the products.
[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the first temperature is -20 to 5 °C.
[0052] Phosphorus trichloride is unstable, and low temperature should be maintained during the mixing step.
[0053] As an example, the first temperature can be -20 °C, -15 °C, -10 °C, 0 °C, 5 °C.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the second temperature is 25 to 60 °C.
[0055] The reaction rate of phosphorus trihalide and compound A is very fast, and they can react rapidly at 25 to 60 °C. Too high a temperature may cause the solvent to boil.
[0056] As an example, the second temperature can be 25 °C, 35 °C, 45 °C, 55 °C, 60 °C.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the predetermined time is 6 to 12 h.
[0058] The reaction rate of phosphorus trihalide and compound A is affected by temperature, and they can usually react completely within 6 to 12 h.
[0059] As an example, the predetermined time can be 6 h, 8 h, 9 h, 10 h, 12 h.
[0060] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a phosphine compound, which is a phosphine compound prepared by the method according to any one of the embodiments of the first aspect.
[0061] As an example, the phosphine compound can be any one selected from the following compounds:
[0062]
[0063] In a third aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a method for preparing a catalyst, and the method for preparing the catalyst includes the following steps:
[0064] S21: Reacting the phosphine compound with a transition metal ion to form a complex;
[0065] S22: Reacting the complex with a rhodium-containing compound to form the catalyst.
[0066] Currently, the hydroformylation reaction of olefins usually uses a complex formed by reacting a phosphine compound with rhodium as a catalyst. This catalyst usually exists in a dissolved state in solution and is not easily recovered after catalysis.
[0067] The phosphine compound provided by the present application, its cyano or cyanoethyl group can form a complex with a transition metal ion, and the lone pair electrons of its phosphorus atom have a specific binding ability with rhodium, which enables the phosphine compound to combine with the transition metal ion and rhodium to form a supramolecular coordination polymer, that is, the catalyst. The supramolecular coordination polymer is usually solid and can be collected by conventional solid-liquid separation means, such as filtration, centrifugation, etc.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the transition metal ion is Cu 2+ 、Zn2+ 、Ag + 、Fe 3+ at least one of; and / or,
[0069] The rhodium-containing compound is at least one of rhodium trihalide and rhodium dicarbonyl acetylacetonate.
