Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically to a method for preparing silicon-substituted high-allyl alcohol compounds by a three-component reaction of α-silicone-substituted conjugated dienes, aldehydes, and Hantzsch esters under synergistic catalysis of chromium and photo-redox. Background Technology

[0002] High-allyl alcohols are a common class of organic structural units that play an important role in organic synthesis. Traditionally, these structures are prepared via the addition reaction of an allyl metal reagent to a carbonyl group (aldehyde, ketone). However, the structurally complex allyl halide precursors are often difficult to prepare, and regioselectivity is hard to control. In recent years, transition metal-mediated addition to the carbonyl group via an allyl radical intermediate has emerged as a new option, effectively solving the problem of difficult precursor preparation. However, the regioselective functionalization of allyl radicals presents a new challenge. Common methods often rely on introducing coordination directing groups to control the metallization site through steric and coordination synergy (Reference 1: J.Am.Chem.Soc.2018, 140, 12705-12709; Reference 2: ACS Catal.2020, 10, 1621-1627; Reference 3: ACS Catal.2020, 10, 11841-11847; Reference 4: Chem 2024, 10, 998-1014). However, the presence of coordination directing groups limits the applicability of substrates to some extent. Therefore, it is still necessary to develop other general and efficient strategies to achieve highly regioselective construction of this structure.

[0003]

[0004] Due to its inherent electronic properties, silicon can exert a stabilizing effect on the carbon-metal bond at the α-position. This invention mainly studies the regioselectivity of the reaction between alkyl radicals and alkyl-substituted diene radicals, which produce an allyl chromium intermediate, and aldehydes, thereby achieving modular and efficient preparation of high-allyl alcohol compounds containing alkenyl silicon structures. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The method adopted by this invention to achieve its objective includes the following steps: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, α-silyl-substituted conjugated dienes, aldehydes, Hantzsch esters, photocatalysts, and chromium catalysts are added to a reaction solvent, and the mixture is stirred until the reaction is complete under a suitable temperature and blue LED irradiation. After the reaction is complete, the mixture is concentrated and purified by column chromatography to obtain silyl-substituted high-allyl alcohol compounds.
