Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis and organic optoelectronic materials, and particularly relates to a method for preparing organic optoelectronic conjugated tin reagents at the kilogram level. Background Technology
[0002] Conjugated polymers, with their tunable band gap, flexibility, and solution processability, show significant promise for applications in organic optoelectronic fields such as organic solar cells, organic field-effect transistors, and organic light-emitting diodes. The precise synthesis of these materials, particularly the construction of alternating copolymers, relies primarily on cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by transition metals such as Stille and Suzuki. Among these, the Stille coupling reaction, due to its excellent substrate compatibility, high stability of tin reagents in air, and superior reaction selectivity, has become a key method for the synthesis of aromatic heterocyclic functional polymers. As the core raw material for this reaction, the conjugated tin reagent, through cross-coupling with halides under palladium catalysis, directly determines the structural integrity and photoelectric properties of the conjugated polymer, serving as a crucial intermediate connecting basic organic synthesis with the industrialization of polymer materials.
[0003] However, existing conjugated tin reagent preparation techniques have significant bottlenecks, severely limiting the large-scale application of conjugated polymer materials.
[0004] First, traditional synthesis methods generally face challenges related to toxicity and safety. Organotin reagents are highly toxic, posing not only a risk of permanent harm to operators but also acting as charge trapping sites, quenching electron transport in devices and significantly reducing the efficiency and lifespan of organic electronic devices. Furthermore, existing preparation processes often rely on sensitive reagents such as organolithium compounds and Grignard reagents, requiring strict anhydrous and oxygen-free conditions. This not only makes the process complex but also poses potential safety hazards, making it difficult to meet safety standards for industrial production.
[0005] Secondly, existing technologies have fundamental limitations in terms of scale-up production capacity. Most reported methods for preparing conjugated tin reagents remain at the millimolecular scale in the laboratory. For example, the typical reaction scale for alkenyltin reagents prepared by catalytic lithiation and transmetalation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is only 0.25 mmol, and it requires fine purification steps such as column chromatography, with yields fluctuating between 58% and 85%. This small-scale synthesis not only fails to meet the raw material requirements for kilogram-scale production of conjugated polymers but also faces problems of decreased yield and poor uniformity due to scale-up effects. As the reaction scale increases, uneven heat and mass transfer exacerbates side reactions, and traditional purification methods are extremely inefficient in large-scale production, further leading to insufficient product purity. This directly triggers homopolymer structural defects and metal residues in the synthesis of conjugated polymers, causing a series of chain reactions such as increased defect state density and decreased charge mobility in the material film.
[0006] Furthermore, existing processes suffer from significant shortcomings in terms of both economy and environmental friendliness. Traditional methods not only consume large amounts of tin raw materials and have low conversion rates, but also often use toxic organic solvents, generating hazardous waste that is difficult to manage, which contradicts the trend of green chemistry. Although Stille coupling is indispensable in precise synthesis, the inherent defects of tin reagents have led to their gradual replacement by the Suzuki reaction, which is more environmentally friendly and safer due to the use of organoboronic acid derivatives. Against this backdrop, developing a process for preparing conjugated tin reagents that can overcome toxicity limitations, achieve stable kilogram-level production, and combine high purity with low cost has become an urgent need to promote the industrialization of conjugated polymer materials from the laboratory.
[0007] With the rapid expansion of the flexible electronics market, such as smart wearable devices, the demand for high-performance conjugated polymer materials is growing exponentially, exacerbating the already acute contradiction between existing reagent supply capacity and industry demand. There is an urgent need to address the safety, economic, and quality control challenges in the large-scale preparation of conjugated tin reagents through process innovation, laying a crucial raw material foundation for the industrial production of organic optoelectronic materials. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a kilogram-scale preparation method for organic photoelectric conjugated tin reagents. This method enables the efficient and large-scale preparation of various conjugated tin reagents and has advantages such as high yield, simple operation, low cost, and good environmental friendliness.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0010] This invention proposes a kilogram-scale preparation method for organic photoelectric conjugated tin reagents, comprising the following steps:
[0011] (1) In a dry 20L reaction apparatus, the conjugated thiophene compound was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, the reaction apparatus was purged with nitrogen to maintain positive pressure protection, and the temperature was lowered by a liquid nitrogen-ethanol cold bath system.
[0012] (2) In the low-temperature reaction system of step (1), add tetrahydrofuran solution of n-butyllithium and tetrahydrofuran solution of trimethyltin chloride, and stir the reaction.
[0013] (3) After the reaction is complete, the reaction system is brought to room temperature and stirred overnight. Water is added to terminate the reaction. After standing and separating the phases, the organic phase is collected. The aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane and the organic phases are combined. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is added to the combined organic phase for drying. The desiccant is removed by filtration and the filtrate is concentrated to obtain the crude product. The crude product is recrystallized with acetone to obtain the organic photoelectric conjugated tin reagent.
[0014] Further, in step (1), the conjugated thiophene compound is selected from 4,8-bis[5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl]-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene, 4,8-bis[4-chloro-5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl]-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene, 4,8-bis[4-fluoro-5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl]-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene, thiophene, 2,2'-diphenyltri ... Thiophene, thiophene[3,2-b]thiophene, 3,3'-bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-2,2'-bidithiophene, 4,4,9,9-tetrahexyl-4,9-dihydro-s-indargen[1,2-b:5,6-b']dithiophene, 3,3'-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2,2'-bidithiophene, 4,4,9,9-tetra(4-hexylphenyl)-4,9-dihydro-s-indargen[1,2-b:5,6-b']dithiophene.
[0015] Further, in step (1), the amount of tetrahydrofuran used is 4-6 L per mole of conjugated thiophene compound.
[0016] Furthermore, in step (1), the temperature is lowered to below -78°C using a liquid nitrogen-ethanol cold bath system.
[0017] Further, in step (2), the molar ratio of n-butyllithium to conjugated thiophene compound is (2.0-2.5):1, and the addition time of the tetrahydrofuran solution of n-butyllithium is 3-5 hours.
[0018] Further, in step (2), the molar ratio of trimethyltin chloride to the conjugated thiophene compound is (2.0-2.2):1; the concentration of trimethyltin chloride in the tetrahydrofuran solution of trimethyltin chloride is 2-3 mol / L.
[0019] Furthermore, in step (2), the stirring time after adding the tetrahydrofuran solution of n-butyllithium is 2-3 hours; after adding the tetrahydrofuran solution of trimethyltin chloride, the system is kept warm for 2 hours at a temperature not higher than -40℃.
[0020] In further step (2), during the addition of tetrahydrofuran solution of n-butyllithium, the reaction temperature is controlled to not exceed -78℃; during the addition of tetrahydrofuran solution of trimethyltin chloride, the system temperature is controlled to not exceed -40℃.
[0021] Further, the organic photoelectric conjugated tin reagent includes 4,8-bis[5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl]-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophen-2,6-bis(trimethyltin), 4,8-bis[4-chloro-5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl]-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophen-2,6-bis(trimethyltin), (4,8-bis(4-fluoro-5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophen-2,6-diyl)bistrimethyltin, 2,5-bis(trimethyltinyl)thiophene, and 5,5'-bis(trimethyltinyl)-2,2' -Bis(dithiophene), 2,5-bis(trimethyltin)thiophene[3,2-b]-dithiophene, 3,3'-bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-2,2'-bis(dithiophene-5,5'-bis(trimethyltin), 4,4,9,9-tetrahexyl-4,9-dihydro-s-indargen[1,2-b:5,6-b']dithiophene-2,7-bis(trimethyltin), 3,3'-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2,2'-bis(dithiophene-5,5'-bis(trimethyltin) and 4,4,9,9-tetra(4-hexylphenyl)-4,9-dihydro-s-indargen[1,2-b:5,6-b']dithiophene-2,7-bis(trimethyltin).
[0022] Technical principle of the invention:
[0023] In the preparation process of this invention, the organolithium reagent (n-butyllithium) and organotin intermediate (trimethyltin chloride) are prone to coupling side reactions at high temperatures (such as self-coupling of butyllithium and detinning of tin intermediates). Therefore, controlling the low-temperature environment can significantly reduce the activation energy of side reactions and reduce ineffective consumption. At the same time, the low temperature below -78℃ can precisely control the lithiation sites of conjugated thiophene compounds, avoiding structural impurities caused by multi-site lithiation and ensuring the formation efficiency of the target intermediate. Conjugated thiophene compounds need to generate the target product through a double lithiation and double tinning process. A slight excess of n-butyllithium (2.0-2.5 times) can ensure complete lithiation of the raw materials (avoiding unlithiated raw material residue), while the precise ratio of trimethyltin chloride (2.0-2.2 times) can avoid impurities caused by excess tin reagent. The holding and stirring time provides sufficient time for the "lithiation-tinning" reaction to ensure that the reaction reaches equilibrium and reduces unreacted intermediates.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects:
[0025] (1) By precisely controlling the thermodynamic and kinetic conditions of the reaction, the present invention suppresses side reactions and ensures full conversion of raw materials, fundamentally solving the problem of yield decline from laboratory pilot to industrial scale-up, significantly improving the reaction yield, with a crude yield of 75%-88%, and solving the problem of yield decline during scale-up;
[0026] (2) This invention transforms the complex organotin synthesis into a repeatable industrial process by standardizing operation steps, quantifying parameters, and fixing equipment. It refines the operation process, reduces experimental difficulty, and improves production efficiency. A single batch of reaction can prepare 1-1.2 kg of target product.
[0027] (3) This invention reduces costs through three pathways: raw material optimization, solvent recycling, and efficiency improvement, and develops a new synthesis process with lower cost and higher efficiency, which significantly reduces production costs;
[0028] (4) This invention effectively controls the source of raw materials, reduces dependence on foreign markets, and improves the stability of the supply chain;
[0029] (5) Traditional processes often use toxic solvents (such as chlorobenzene and carbon tetrachloride) or produce metal complex waste (such as palladium catalyst residue), which makes environmental treatment difficult. The waste of the present invention is "easy to treat" and has no high-risk pollutants, thus reducing environmental pressure. Attached Figure Description

[0056]
[0057] The specific preparation method is as follows:
[0058] In a 20L straight four-necked reaction flask, place the flask in a cold bath device (at room temperature) using ethanol as the medium, and install a mechanical stirrer using a T-type impeller. Insert a thermometer measuring -100℃ to 100℃ into the side opening of the four-necked flask to ensure a dry environment inside the reaction flask. Pour in 6L of tetrahydrofuran, start stirring at 260 rpm, and add 849.8g (1.4mol) of 4,8-bis[5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophene-2-yl]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene at room temperature, stirring until the raw materials are completely dissolved. Use a high-purity nitrogen cylinder to purge the reaction flask with nitrogen for ten minutes as a protective condition, and connect a balloon to ensure a positive pressure nitrogen atmosphere within the system. Slowly add liquid nitrogen in batches to the cold bath device, using the liquid nitrogen-ethanol cold bath system to cool the reaction flask system to below -78℃. Continuously monitor the temperature change of the reaction vessel system to ensure that the temperature reaches -80℃. Slowly add 1.24 L (3.1 mol) of a 2.5 M n-butyllithium tetrahydrofuran solution, controlling the dropping rate and constantly monitoring the temperature to ensure it remains at -80 °C. The addition of the n-butyllithium solution takes 4 hours. After the addition is complete, rinse the feeding device with 200 mL of tetrahydrofuran to remove any remaining butyllithium. Maintain the reaction system temperature at -40 °C to -78 °C and stir continuously for 3 hours. Add liquid nitrogen to the cold bath to bring the reaction flask system temperature to -80 °C. Then, slowly add 636.8 g of a trimethyltin chloride tetrahydrofuran solution (3.2 mol / 9.6 L concentration of trimethyltin chloride) through a constant pressure dropping funnel, controlling the dropping rate and monitoring the temperature to ensure the system temperature remains at -42 °C. After adding trimethyltin chloride, the system was kept at -42°C for 2 hours, then slowly brought to room temperature in a cold bath and stirred overnight (stirring continued for 10 hours). 5L of water was slowly added and stirred for 30 minutes. The system was allowed to stand and separate phases. The upper organic phase was collected, and the aqueous phase was extracted once with 3L of dichloromethane. The organic phases were combined, and 600g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate was added and stirred for half an hour. The magnesium sulfate solid was removed by vacuum filtration using a 15cm diameter ceramic Buchner funnel and a 10L vacuum flask. The filtrate was collected and concentrated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to obtain a crude yellow solid. Preliminary purification was achieved by recrystallization with 3L of acetone, yielding 1085.8g of the target product, 4,8-bis[5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl]-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-bis(trimethyltin), in a crude yield of 85%.

[0062]
[0063] The specific preparation method is as follows:
[0064] In a 20L straight four-necked reaction flask, place the flask in a cold bath device (at room temperature) using ethanol as the medium, and install a mechanical stirrer using a T-type impeller. Insert a thermometer measuring -100℃ to -100℃ into the side opening of the four-necked flask, ensuring a dry environment inside the reaction flask.

Stir until the raw materials are completely dissolved. Use a high-purity nitrogen cylinder to purge the reaction flask with nitrogen for ten minutes as a protective condition, and connect a balloon to ensure a positive pressure nitrogen atmosphere within the system. Add liquid nitrogen to the cold bath device in batches, and use the liquid nitrogen-ethanol cold bath system to cool the reaction flask system to below -78℃. Observe the temperature change of the reaction vessel system constantly, ensuring that the temperature of the reaction vessel system reaches -80℃. Slowly add 1.16 L (2.9 mol) of a 2.5 M n-butyllithium tetrahydrofuran solution, controlling the dropping rate and constantly monitoring the temperature to ensure it remains at -80 °C. The addition of the n-butyllithium tetrahydrofuran solution takes 4 hours. After the addition is complete, rinse the feeding device with 200 mL of tetrahydrofuran and maintain the reaction system temperature at -40 °C to -78 °C, stirring continuously for 3 hours. Add liquid nitrogen to the cold bath to bring the reaction flask system temperature to -80 °C. Then, slowly add 597 g of a trimethyltin chloride tetrahydrofuran solution (trimethyltin chloride concentration of 3.0 mol / 9 L), controlling the dropping rate and monitoring the temperature. Maintain the system temperature at -42 °C during the addition. After the trimethyltin chloride is complete, maintain the temperature at -42 °C for 2 hours, then slowly return to room temperature in the cold bath and stir overnight (stirring for another 10 hours). 5L of water was slowly added and stirred for 30 minutes. The mixture was allowed to stand and separate into two phases. The upper organic phase was collected, and the aqueous phase was extracted once with 3L of dichloromethane. The organic phases were combined, and 600g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate was added and stirred for half an hour. The magnesium sulfate solid was removed by vacuum filtration using a 15cm diameter ceramic Buchner funnel and a 10L vacuum filtration flask. The filtrate was collected and concentrated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to obtain a crude product solid powder.

Stir until the raw materials are completely dissolved. Use a high-purity nitrogen cylinder to purge nitrogen into the reaction flask for ten minutes as a protective condition, and connect a balloon to ensure a positive pressure nitrogen atmosphere within the system. Add liquid nitrogen in batches to the cold bath device, and use the liquid nitrogen-ethanol cold bath system to cool the reaction flask system to below -78℃. Observe the temperature change of the reaction vessel system at all times, ensuring that the temperature of the reaction vessel system reaches -80℃. Slowly add 1.16 L (2.9 mol) of a 2.5 M n-butyllithium tetrahydrofuran solution, controlling the dropping rate and constantly monitoring the temperature to ensure it remains at a constant temperature. The addition of the n-butyllithium tetrahydrofuran solution takes 4 hours. After the addition is complete, rinse the feeding device with 500 mL of tetrahydrofuran solution and maintain the reaction system temperature at -40°C to -78°C, stirring continuously for 3 hours.
