Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a phenelzine monomer. Background Technology
[0002] The most prominent features of Parylene films are their unbranched nature, high crystallinity, and extremely high molecular weight. They can be coated onto surfaces of various shapes, including sharp edges. This type of nano-coated film, prepared by room temperature deposition under vacuum, exhibits uniform thickness, density without pinholes, transparency without stress, no additives, no damage to the workpiece, and excellent electrical insulation and protective properties. Parylene films rely on its Parylene monomer, which is dimeric p-xylene and its substituted derivatives. Currently, based on different molecular structures, Parylene-based materials can be classified into various types, including Parylene-N, Parylene-C, Parylene-D, Parylene-F, and Parylene AF4 (octafluoro[2,2]dimeric p-xylene), with the following structural formula:
[0003]
[0004] Parylene HT, formed by coating AF4 parylene monomers, exhibits superior or even better performance compared to other parylene films: low coefficient of friction; excellent impermeability against water vapor, O2, N2, and CO2; and low dielectric constant, dielectric strength, and dielectric loss factor. Furthermore, Parylene HT films demonstrate significantly better thermal and UV stability than other parylene films, meaning they maintain their physical and chemical integrity at high temperatures. They also possess substantial advantages in resistance to thermal aging, UV aging, and radiation aging. For example, Parylene HT can withstand temperatures above 450°C for extended periods and operate stably for over 2000 hours under UV light. These superior properties make Parylene HT suitable for specialized applications in defense, aerospace, and military industries. These high-end applications also place extremely high demands on the quality of its AF4 monomer; the purity, residues, and free halogen residues of the AF4 monomer greatly influence its film-forming performance.
[0005] Currently, the main synthetic methods for AF4 include: Dolbier et al. successfully synthesized AF4 with a yield of 32% using 1,4-bis(bromodifluoromethyl)benzene as a starting material, a reaction temperature of 70℃, anhydrous tetrahydrofuran as a solvent, and titanium tetrachloride and titanium aluminum hydride. This route has been optimized by several researchers. Under the action of metal reducing agents, 1,4-bis(halodifluoromethyl)benzene generates AF4. Reducing agents include titanium, zinc powder, (trimethylsilyl)tributyltin, etc., and DMA is used as the solvent. Kenji Uneyama reported that starting with p-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene, a trimethylsilyl intermediate was first generated under the action of magnesium metal, and then eliminated through dimerization to generate AF4, with a yield of approximately 53%.
[0006] While these synthetic methods can all produce AF4, no research has been conducted on whether its quality meets the requirements for coating. Furthermore, the aforementioned reports indicate that the process involves the generation of multiple impurities and byproducts, making purification difficult.
[0007] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Summary of the Invention

Attached Figure Description
[0026] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the preparation method of the phenelzine monomer in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0027] This invention provides a method for preparing a monomer for a phenelzine material. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this invention clearer and more explicit, the invention is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0028] Existing methods for preparing phenelzine AF4 inevitably generate the following impurities:
[0029] The aforementioned impurities are highly similar in structure to Pyrelin AF4, and their polarity and other properties are also very similar. Conventional purification methods such as recrystallization cannot remove them, making purification extremely difficult. Furthermore, during chemical vapor deposition (coating), these impurities will be activated and participate in the coating process along with the main product, Pyrelin AF4, significantly impacting the performance of the resulting nano-coating.
[0030] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for preparing a monomer of a paraben, the flowchart of which is shown below. Figure 1 The preparation method includes the following steps:
[0031] A trimethylsilyl-based intermediate is provided, which, under heating conditions, yields a crude product of phenelzine monomer; wherein the reaction formula for yielding the phenelzine monomer from the trimethylsilyl-based intermediate under heating conditions is as follows:
[0032] The crude monomer of the Pyrelin material is dissolved in an organic solvent, and then an alkali is added to carry out the first reaction to obtain the first reaction solution.
[0033] An oxidant is added to the first reaction solution to carry out a second reaction, resulting in a second reaction solution.
[0034] The second reaction solution was adjusted to alkaline, and the mixture was washed with water to obtain the phenelzine material monomer.
[0035] This invention solves the problem of removing structurally similar impurities by using alkali treatment and oxidation to transform impurities in crude phenelzine monomer (crude phenelzine AF4) into water-soluble impurities. Specifically, the crude phenelzine monomer is dissolved in an organic solvent, and an alkali is added. Under the action of the alkali, the benzylic hydrogen in the impurities is activated, resulting in the elimination of HF and the formation of double bonds. Then, an oxidant is added to oxidize the double bonds in the impurities, converting them into carboxylic acids. The pH is then adjusted to alkaline (specifically 9-10) to form carboxylate salts, thus greatly increasing the water solubility of the impurities. Finally, the impurities are removed by washing with water. The above reaction formula is as follows:
[0036]
[0037] In some embodiments, the organic solvent is a mixture of chlorobenzene and methanol, a mixture of chlorobenzene and tetrahydrofuran, or chlorobenzene.
[0038] In some embodiments, the alkali is selected from butyllithium, diisopropylaminolithium, sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amino, potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amino, sodium hydrogen, potassium tert-butoxide, and potassium hydroxide.
[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the base is bis(trimethylsilyl)aminopotassium.
[0040] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the alkali to the crude pyrene monomer is (2-5):10.
[0041] Within this range, the impurities in the crude monomer of the Parylene material react completely, and the excess alkali is not enough to destroy the main product.
[0042] In some preferred embodiments, the molar ratio of the alkali to the crude pyrene monomer is 2.5:10.
[0043] In some embodiments, the reaction temperature of the first reaction is 0-64°C, and the reaction time is 2 hours. The reaction temperature of the first reaction can be 0°C, 5°C, 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 60°C, 64°C, etc.
[0044] In some preferred embodiments, the reaction temperature of the first reaction is 64°C, the reaction is completed rapidly, and the main product is not destroyed.
[0045] In some embodiments, the oxidant is selected from potassium permanganate, a mixture of potassium permanganate and sodium periodate, potassium dichromate, potassium peroxymonosulfate, and ozone.
[0046] In some preferred embodiments, the oxidant is a mixture of potassium permanganate and sodium periodate.
[0047] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the oxidant to the crude perylene monomer is 2:10.
[0048] In some embodiments, the second reaction step specifically involves: reacting at 25°C for 0.5-1 h, and then raising the temperature to 64°C for 0.5-2 h.
[0049] In some embodiments, before adding the oxidant to the first reaction solution, the step of adjusting the first reaction solution to acidic, specifically to a pH of 6-7, is further included.
[0050] Under the aforementioned acidic environment, the oxidizing agent exhibits the strongest oxidizing power.
[0051] In some embodiments, after adjusting the second reaction solution to alkaline and washing with water, the method further includes the step of ion exchange of the washed solution to remove halide ions.
[0052] Existing preparation methods contain a large number of free halide ions (taking the preparation of crude phenelzine material monomers using trimethylsilyl intermediates under alkaline conditions as an example in the embodiments of this invention). In most coating protection scenarios, components have high requirements for the content of free halide ions. The embodiments of this invention use ion exchange to remove halide ions and solve the above problems.
[0053] In some embodiments, a method for preparing the phenelzine material monomer is provided, the method comprising the following steps:
[0054] A trimethylsilyl-based intermediate is provided, which, under heating conditions, yields a crude phenelzine monomer, the purity of which is approximately 83%. The reaction formula for yielding the phenelzine monomer from the trimethylsilyl-based intermediate under heating conditions is as follows:
[0055]
[0056] The chemical formulas of the impurities in the crude monomer of the described Perylene material are as follows:
[0057]
[0058] The crude monomer of the phenelzine material is dissolved in a mixed solvent of chlorobenzene and tetrahydrofuran, and then 20-50% of the molar amount of the crude monomer of the phenelzine material is added as alkali. The mixture is reacted at 0-64°C for 2 hours to obtain the first reaction solution.
[0059] Adjust the pH of the first reaction solution to acidic, add 20% molar amount of the crude monomer of the Pyrelin material to the first reaction solution, react at 25°C for 0.5-1h, and then raise the temperature to 64°C for 0.5-2h to obtain the second reaction solution;
