Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to a synthesis method of alpha-carbonyl selenium. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a member of chalcogen elements and a special heteroatom indispensable to human body, the introduction of selenium can greatly change the physical and chemical properties, medicinal properties and biological activity of a substance. Among numerous selenium-containing compounds, the synthesis of alpha-selenocarbonyl compounds has attracted extensive attention. For example, alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds can be obtained by the oxidative deselenization of alpha-selenocarbonyl compounds through peroxide; and cyclic or ketone alpha-aryl products can be synthesized by the deselenization of alpha-selenocarbonyl compounds through a free radical pathway. Meanwhile, alpha-selenocarbonyl compounds also provide an important role for the research and development of antidepressants, antioxidants, anticancer agents and anti-inflammatory agents.

[0003] Currently, there are mainly two methods for synthesizing alpha-selenocarbonyl compounds by using phenyl selenyl chloride as a selenium source: one is the synthesis method of aldehyde or ketone enolate and phenyl selenyl chloride under the catalysis of acid or base; and the other is the synthesis method of alpha-haloketone and phenyl selenyl chloride under the catalysis of transition metal palladium (Pd) or samarium (Sm). Both of the two methods have problems of requiring specific substrates, high cost, complex reaction steps, and the like, which are not conducive to organic synthesis and pharmacological research. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a synthesis method of alpha-carbonyl selenium, which uses 5-bromoindole potassium xanthate as a catalyst and phenyl selenyl chloride as a selenium source. The generated intermediate realizes homolysis of S-Se bond under the action of photocatalysis, so as to generate the corresponding phenyl selenyl radical. The preparation process is simple and does not require a noble metal catalyst, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production cost.

[0005] The specific technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0006] A synthesis method of alpha-carbonyl selenium, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1, phenyl selenyl chloride and 5-bromoindole potassium xanthate are added into a reaction container, and then p-R-styrene, phenylsilane and acetonitrile are sequentially added to obtain a reaction mixture;

[0008] S2, the reaction mixture in step S1 is subjected to a photocatalytic reaction under blue light irradiation, and a photocatalytic product is obtained after the reaction is completed;

[0009] S3, the photocatalytic product obtained in step S2 is extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase is dried, concentrated and subjected to column chromatography to obtain a high-purity alpha-selenocarbonyl compound.

[0010] Further, the chemical structural formula of the p-R-styrene is

[0011] Further, the para-R-styrene includes any one of styrene, p-methylstyrene, p-fluorostyrene, p-hydroxystyrene, p-tert-butylstyrene and 2-vinylnaphthalene.

[0012] Further, the amount of the catalyst 5-bromoindole potassium xanthate is 10-12 mol% of the moles of phenyl selenyl chloride.

[0013] Further, the molar ratio of the para-R-styrene, phenylsilane and phenyl selenyl chloride is 1.1-1.3:1.

[0014] Further, 4.0-6.0 mL of acetonitrile is added per mmol of the phenyl selenyl chloride.

[0015] Further, the specific step of the photocatalysis in the step S2 is that the reaction tube containing the reaction mixture is placed on a magnetic stirrer at room temperature, the reaction tube is open, a 36W blue light LED is arranged beside the reaction tube, the distance between the reaction tube and the light source is 0.5-1.5 cm, and the stirring reaction is carried out for 6-8 h to obtain the photocatalysis product.

[0016] Further, the eluent for the column chromatography includes ethyl acetate and petroleum ether in a volume ratio of 1:10-20.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0018] The present application uses 5-bromoindole potassium xanthate (DTCA) as a catalyst, and phenyl selenyl chloride as a selenium source to generate a light-absorbing intermediate through S N 2 path, which realizes homolysis of S-Se bond under irradiation of 36W blue light to generate corresponding phenyl selenyl radical, and then synthesizes selenium-containing organic matter through addition with styrene compounds and capture of oxygen in the air, and high-purity alpha-selenocarbonyl compounds are obtained through extraction, concentration and column chromatography.

[0019] This xanthate effectively activates the photocatalytic method of inert substrates in the classical radical generation strategy based on different physical properties of substrates, creates a new idea for the introduction of heteroatoms, provides a mild, efficient and inexpensive method for the design and discovery of new functional molecules, and also provides a practical new means for drug research and development. The preparation process of the present application is simple and does not need noble metal catalysts, improves production efficiency and reduces production cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
