Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of organic chemistry, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a conjugated fluoroalkene. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the unique properties of fluorine-containing compounds in molecular structure, electronic effect and biological activity, the synthesis strategy has become an important direction in the research of drug chemistry and functional materials, and has attracted much attention in the academic field in recent years. The strong electronegativity and high chemical stability of fluorine atoms significantly improve the comprehensive performance of fluorine-containing compounds in stability, fat solubility and biological activity, and thus are widely used in drug molecule design, high-performance polymer synthesis and development of new environmentally friendly materials, showing irreplaceable application potential. Among them, gem-difluoro conjugated diene is a multifunctional synthetic building block, and is an important intermediate for constructing natural products and functional molecules containing gem-difluoromethyl groups. Therefore, the efficient synthesis of such fluorine-containing compounds is of great significance for promoting the precise construction of fluorine-containing molecules and their application in life science and material science.

[0003] In traditional synthesis methods, the construction of fluorinated 1,3-diene mainly relies on Wittig olefination and transition metal-catalyzed coupling reactions. These methods can achieve the synthesis of target products under specific conditions, but generally have problems such as high requirements for substrate functionalization, harsh reaction conditions, expensive catalysts or environmental unfriendliness. In addition, due to the unique electronegativity and spatial effect of fluorine atoms, their introduction often has a significant impact on the reaction path and intermediate stability, making traditional methods face many limitations in practical application. Although in recent years, various alternative strategies have been reported, such as rearrangement reactions based on fluorinated alkenes, radical pathways, and photocatalytic methods, there are still key problems such as insufficient stereoselectivity control, difficulty in accurately adjusting regioselectivity, and complicated synthesis steps of fluorinated functional groups, which need to be systematically studied in terms of reaction mechanism, catalyst system design and synthesis strategy optimization, in order to realize more efficient, greener and more universal synthesis methods of fluorinated 1,3-diene.

[0004] In recent years, important progress has been made in the study of functionalization methods of fluorine-containing groups, especially the strategy based on selective C-F bond cleavage can efficiently convert cheap and readily available CF3 compounds into difluoroalkylated products, providing new ideas and means for the diversity synthesis of fluorine-containing compounds. The stepwise removal of fluorine atoms weakens the C-F bond strength, providing an opportunity for further conversion of fluorine-containing groups. However, there is still a lack of a general, efficient and stereoselective synthetic strategy to achieve efficient construction of fluorinated 1,3-diene through C-F bond cleavage. Therefore, developing a simple and selective synthetic method has important innovative significance for breaking through the bottleneck of controllable synthesis of fluorinated conjugated diene compounds. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above prior art, the present application provides a preparation method of conjugated fluorinated olefin to solve the technical problems of difficult preparation and high cost of gem-difluoro conjugated diene in the prior art.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is to provide a preparation method of conjugated fluorinated olefin, comprising the following steps: S1: dissolving fluorinated alkyl ketone and benzenesulfonyl hydrazine in a solvent, stirring at room temperature for 3-5 h to obtain an intermediate product; the structural formula of the fluorinated alkyl ketone is shown as formula I,

[0007] wherein R1 is at least one of hydrogen, alkoxy and halogen; R2 is fluorine, methoxy or halogenated alkyl; S2: dissolving the base, silicon boron reagent and the intermediate product in dioxane from which the stabilizer has been removed, and then stirring at 95-110 DEG C for 2-5 h to obtain a crude product; the liquid ratio of the base, silicon boron reagent, intermediate product and dioxane from which the stabilizer has been removed is 3.3 mol:3 mol:1 mol:5 L; S3: column chromatography elution is performed on the crude product to obtain the conjugated fluorinated olefin shown as formula II, .

[0008] The present application uses cheap and readily available trifluoromethyl ketone as a starting substrate, without the need for transition metal catalysts, and through the synergistic effect of silicon boron reagent under basic conditions, active silicon free radicals are efficiently generated. The substrate has wide applicability, the aromatic ring can be modified with alkyl or halogen, and the trifluoromethyl group can be further converted into more complex fluorinated compounds.

[0009] It is worth noting that the product will be significantly different under different proportions of alkali and silicon-boron reagent. When the equivalent ratio of intermediate product, sodium tert-butoxide and silicon-boron reagent is 1:3.3:3, it is most beneficial to the generation of gem-difluoro conjugated diene. This is because under this proportion, the silicon radical intermediate can be efficiently generated in the reaction system, and the breakage of the γ-C-F bond is induced through its unique reaction path, thereby dominating the formation of gem-difluoro conjugated diene. Specifically, sodium tert-butoxide not only promotes the deprotonation of hydrazone in the reaction, but also can induce the single electron transfer (SET) process of the silicon-boron reagent through the synergistic effect, thereby generating a highly active silicon radical. The silicon radical has a low charge density and a high nucleophilicity, and can react with the carbon atom of the trifluoromethyl group, so that the C-F bond breaks under the radical mechanism. This process is different from the traditional nucleophilic substitution or elimination mechanism, but through the radical-induced rearrangement or migration path, the precursor structure of gem-difluoro conjugated diene is formed.

[0010] Under the condition of the equivalent ratio of 1:3.3:3, the equivalent of the silicon-boron reagent is relatively high, which is beneficial to generate a sufficient amount of silicon radical. The high concentration of silicon radical is helpful to form a stable carbon radical intermediate, which is more likely to construct the conjugated diene structure in the subsequent fluorination and rearrangement process. Therefore, the equivalent ratio of 1:3.3:3 induces the breakage of the γ-C-F bond through the efficient generation and stable existence of the silicon radical, and further realizes the high-selective synthesis of gem-difluoro conjugated diene through the radical rearrangement and conjugation expansion mechanism. This ratio not only optimizes the thermodynamic and kinetic conditions of the reaction path, but also provides important experimental basis and theoretical guidance for the stereoselectivity and structural diversity of trifluoroalkene.

[0011] Based on the above technical solutions, the application can be further improved as follows.

[0012] Further, the feed liquid ratio of the fluorinated alkyl ketone, the benzene sulfonyl hydrazine and the solvent is 1 mol:0.8-1.2 mol:5 L.

[0013] Further, the fluorinated alkyl ketone is one of the compounds with the following structure: 、 、 、 .

[0014] Further, the benzene sulfonyl hydrazine is 2-(trifluoromethyl) benzene sulfonyl hydrazine, and the solvent is methanol.

[0015] Further, the alkali is sodium tert-butoxide, and the silicon-boron reagent is SiEt3-Bpin.

[0016] Further, the method for removing dioxane stabilizer is as follows: mixing bulk sodium with dioxane, then heating the mixture to 100 DEG C, and refluxing for 3 hours, and collecting the distilled dioxane to obtain the product.

[0017] Further, the stirring reaction temperature in S2 is 100 DEG C, and the stirring reaction time is 3 hours.

[0018] Further, the eluent used in the column chromatography in S3 is n-hexane.

[0019] The present application has the following advantages: The preparation process of the conjugated fluoroalkene in the present application is shown in Figure 1 The preparation method of the conjugated fluoroalkene is based on a silicon radical-mediated di-fluoroalkenylation strategy. The method uses a trifluoromethyl ketone as a starting material, does not need a transition metal catalyst, and generates active silicon radicals through the synergistic effect of a silicon boron reagent under alkaline conditions. These silicon radicals can capture hydrogen atoms from an allyl C-H bond to form an allyl radical intermediate, and then initiate the selective cleavage of a gamma-C-F bond to finally generate a well-defined gem-difluoro-1,3-butadiene. This strategy provides a new method path for the precise synthesis of conjugated gem-difluoroalkenes, and has good application prospect and theoretical value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
