Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention pertains to the preparation of covalent organic framework materials and their application in the field of photocatalytic organic conversion. Specifically, it relates to a method for preparing a crystalline allyl covalent organic framework material. Background Technology
[0002] 1,2,4-Thiadiazoles are an important class of heterocyclic compounds with biological and therapeutic applications ranging from anticancer to neuroprotective activities. However, the preparation of these valuable organic compounds using traditional synthetic methods faces significant challenges, often requiring strong oxidants (such as high-valence metal oxides and peroxides) or harsh reaction conditions (such as high temperature, high pressure, and strong acid / base environments). These processes are not only energy-intensive and risky, but also generate large amounts of toxic and harmful byproducts and waste, causing significant environmental pollution, which contradicts the principles of green chemistry and sustainable development.
[0003] To address the aforementioned challenges, photocatalysis technology has shown immense research potential. Its core concept is to mimic natural photosynthesis, utilizing clean, renewable solar energy as a driving force to efficiently and selectively drive chemical reactions under mild conditions (normal temperature and pressure). This significantly reduces dependence on fossil fuels and energy consumption, while avoiding the use of hazardous reagents, providing a green pathway to atom-economical and environmentally friendly organic synthesis.
[0004] Among numerous photocatalytic materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted significant attention due to their unique structural characteristics. COFs are a class of polymers with high crystallinity and porosity, composed of organic building blocks with well-defined pore structures and highly tunable photoelectric properties. They exhibit excellent thermal stability, high structural designability, and superior light-harvesting and carrier generation capabilities. However, traditional COFs suffer from insufficient separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes, coupled with a rapid recombination rate, leading to an inadequate number of effective carriers participating in the catalytic reaction, thus limiting quantum efficiency and reaction rate. Therefore, we designed a crystalline allyl covalent organic framework material to effectively address the limitations of traditional COF materials. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of traditional COF (carbon-based composite materials) which suffer from fast recombination speeds and low charge separation efficiency, and to synthesize 1,2,4-thiadiazole and its derivatives under mild conditions. First, a COF precursor material was prepared via the Brainwell reaction, and then a crystalline allyl covalent organic framework material was synthesized via solvothermal synthesis. The inherent ordered electron donor-acceptor (DA) structure in SF-COF promotes the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. The method for preparing SF-COF includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of COF precursor materials: A certain amount of trimesin and p-aminophenylacetonitrile were weighed and mixed in a certain amount of sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture was heated to 60-90℃ under reflux for 2-6 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was washed with sodium hydroxide solution, ethanol, and water, and dried overnight at 80℃ to obtain a yellow allyl-linked covalent organic framework precursor (BTAC) solid sample.
[0006] The molar ratio of pyromellitic acetonitrile to p-aminophenylacetonitrile in step (1) is 1-4:1-4, wherein 1:3 is preferred; The reaction temperature in step (1) is 60-90 ℃, preferably 85 ℃, and the reaction time is 2-6 h, preferably 2 h.
[0007] (2) Preparation of SF-COF: A certain amount of BTAC was weighed and mixed with 5,5',5''-(benzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde) in a certain proportion. In addition, a certain amount of acetic acid was added to the reactor and dispersed in a certain volume of solvent. The mixture was then heated in a sealed environment to 120-180℃ for 3-7 days. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was washed with organic reagents, filtered, and vacuum dried at 80℃ to obtain a yellow SF-COF powder sample.
[0008] The solvents are n-butanol and o-dichlorobenzene.
[0009] The ratio of BTAC to 5,5',5''-(benzene-1,3,5-triyl)tri(thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde) is 1-4:1-4, preferably 1:1.
[0010] In step (2), the reaction temperature of SF-COF is heated to 120-180℃ and maintained for 3-7 days, wherein the preferred reaction temperature is 120℃ and the reaction time is 3 days.
[0011] (3) A procedure for synthesizing 1,2,4-thiadiazole using SF-COF: First, a certain amount of benzamide and its derivatives, along with the SF-COF photocatalyst, were weighed into a light-transmitting glass bottle. Then, a certain volume of reaction solvent was measured and fully dissolved. Next, a certain amount of gas was introduced to maintain the stability of the reaction system. The glass bottle was placed under a light source and stirred for a certain period of time at a specific temperature. After the experiment, the reaction system was processed, the products were collected, and analyzed to determine the success of the reaction and the catalytic effect of the catalyst. The reaction formula is as follows:
[0012] The oxidant is a highly reactive oxygen species that can be generated during organic transformation reactions and intervene in the aerobic organic reaction process.
[0013] The R is any one of alkyl, alkoxy, or halogen; The alkyl group is C1-C 10 The alkoxy group is a straight-chain alkane or a branched-chain alkane; the alkoxy group includes one of methoxy, ethoxy, or propoxy; and the halogen is any one of F, Cl, Br, or I.
[0014] The catalyst dosage is 1-10% of the benzamide mass, and the solvent is any one of ACE, MeCN, DCM, MeOH, and EtOH, with DCM being preferred. The introduced gas is air or oxygen; the light source is ultraviolet LED, blue LED, white LED, green LED, or orange LED, with blue LED being preferred; the reaction temperature is at room temperature, and the irradiation time is 3-24 h, with 6 h being preferred.
[0015] After obtaining benzamide and its derivatives, SF-COF is recovered, reactivated, and the preparation of benzamide and its derivatives is repeated to achieve... N Preparation in multiple cycles. N Greater than or equal to 3.
[0016] The specific beneficial effects of this material are manifested as follows: (1) The allyl covalent organic framework SF-COF structure synthesized in this invention contains DA-type structural units, which significantly improves the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers.
[0017] (2) It maintains high catalytic activity and low catalyst loss in multiple cycles and has good stability.
[0018] (3) In this invention, blue light is used as the light source and allyl covalent organic framework SF-COF is used as the photocatalyst to perform photocatalytic aerobic oxidation of benzamide and its derivatives, namely 1,2,4-thiadiazole and its derivatives. The yield of the product 1,2,4-thiadiazole and its derivatives can reach more than 60% (72% in Example 3-1), showing excellent photocatalytic activity. Attached Figure Description
