Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the synthesis of organophosphorus compounds, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing adamantylphosphine through a radical phosphination reaction. Background Art

[0002] Adamantylphosphine is a class of important organophosphorus compounds. Its unique structure enables it to have a wide range of applications in the fields of catalysis, drug synthesis, and materials science. Due to its excellent stability and reactivity, adamantylphosphine is often used as a catalyst and ligand. However, traditional methods for synthesizing adamantylphosphine mostly employ phosphination reactions or nucleophilic substitution reactions, which require multiple steps and relatively harsh reaction conditions. These methods not only have complex reaction steps but also often produce by-products, leading to a cumbersome purification process. In addition, many existing methods also rely on expensive or difficult-to-obtain raw materials, restricting their application in large-scale synthesis. The relevant reports are as follows:

[0003] (1) Literature reports on triscadamantylphosphine:

[0004]

[0005] (2) Literature reports on aryldiscadamantylphosphine:

[0006]

[0007] (3) Literature reports on n-butyldiscadamantylphosphine:

[0008]

[0009] In the existing literature reports on the above three types of adamantylphosphine, the reactions all suffer from the problems of expensive substrates, cumbersome preparation, relatively harsh reaction conditions, and low reaction efficiency, and are not suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0010] In recent years, radical chemistry has gradually become an important means for synthesizing novel organic compounds. Radical reactions have the advantages of being fast, efficient, and highly selective, and can achieve various chemical transformations under mild conditions. However, current research on synthesizing adamantylphosphine using radical reactions is still relatively scarce, and no systematic method has been formed.

[0011] Therefore, developing a new synthesis method to efficiently synthesize adamantylphosphine through a radical phosphination reaction can not only overcome the limitations of traditional synthesis methods but also improve the economy and practicality of the reaction, and has important academic value and application prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The present invention provides a method for synthesizing adamantylphosphine through a radical phosphination reaction, which solves the deficiencies in the prior art and improves the synthesis efficiency and product quality.

[0013] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0014] A method for synthesizing adamantylphosphine through a radical phosphination reaction, comprising the following steps:

[0015] (1) Under an argon atmosphere, add adamantane, a radical initiator, potassium phosphate, and lithium carbonate into a reaction kettle respectively, then add a solvent, and finally add a phosphorus reagent, and heat for reaction;

[0016] (2) After the reaction is completed, filter and rotary evaporate to dryness;

[0017] (3) Add saturated brine, then extract with ethyl acetate. After collecting the organic phase, collect the target product by recrystallization to obtain the product.

[0018] Wherein, the radical initiator is AIBN and / or NHPI.

[0019] Wherein, the solvent is acetonitrile, ethyl acetate or dichloroethane.

[0020] Wherein, the phosphorus reagent is triethyl phosphite, diethyl phenylphosphite or diethyl tert-butylphosphite.

[0021] Wherein, in step (1), the temperature for the heating reaction is 50-70 °C, and the reaction time is 20-30 h.

[0022] Wherein, the molar ratio of adamantane to the radical initiator is 1:1-1.5, the molar ratio of adamantane to potassium phosphate is 1:1-1.5, the molar ratio of adamantane to lithium carbonate is 1:0.5-1, and the molar ratio of adamantane to the phosphorus reagent is 1:0.4-0.5.

[0023] Through exploration of reaction substrates and screening of conditions, the present invention has successfully realized a method for efficiently synthesizing adamantylphosphine through a radical phosphination reaction. This method starts from cheap and easily available adamantane, uses NHPI (N-hydroxyphthalimide) and AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) as radical initiators. Adamantane forms an adamantyl radical through hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), and finally reacts with the phosphorus reagent to obtain adamantylphosphine. In the reaction, potassium phosphate and lithium carbonate jointly regulate the acidity and alkalinity of the reaction environment, promote the generation of free radicals, and inhibit the occurrence of side reactions.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The present invention provides a new synthesis method for efficiently synthesizing adamantylphosphine through a radical phosphination reaction, which can not only overcome the limitations of traditional synthesis methods, but also improve the economy and practicability of the reaction, and has important academic value and application prospects.
