Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical synthesis technology, specifically to a method for synthesizing and applying asymmetric 1,10-phenanthroline. Background Technology

[0002] 1,10-phenanthroline is an important co-ligand. Its molecule possesses a coplanar 14-π electronic structure, exhibiting good stability. As a highly efficient electron donor, it plays a crucial functional ligand role in catalysis, materials science, biomedicine, energy, and sensors. Furthermore, 1,10-phenanthroline possesses excellent modifiability, and its modified compounds play important roles in numerous fields.

[0003] Asymmetric o-phenanthroline ligands exhibit significant advantages in multiple fields due to their unique structural characteristics and excellent coordination ability: 1. In catalysis, asymmetric o-phenanthroline ligands demonstrate high efficiency, good tolerance, and excellent enantiomeric and diastereoselectivity; 2. In lanthanide luminescence, asymmetric ligands can reduce energy loss and improve luminescence intensity and lifetime through their unique structural properties; 3. In radiative deexcitation, asymmetric complexes exhibit higher efficiency than symmetric complexes during radiative deexcitation, which helps improve the performance of luminescent materials; 4. In lanthanum-actinium separation, asymmetric ligands, with their unique structural characteristics, exhibit high extraction capabilities for actinide ions of different valence states, while showing extremely low extraction capabilities for rare earth elements. This selective extraction mechanism enables asymmetric ligands to efficiently separate actinide ions from mixtures containing lanthanides, achieving excellent lanthanum-actinium separation. This characteristic not only improves separation efficiency but also reduces separation costs, making it of significant practical application value in fields such as nuclear fuel reprocessing and radioactive waste treatment. Furthermore, the two nitrogen atoms of 1,10-phenanthroline exhibit excellent coordination ability with transition metals. Studies have shown that introducing electron-donating atoms at the 2 and 9 positions significantly enhances the overall coordination ability of the ligand through synergistic effects with the nitrogen atoms. This modification strategy provides a new approach for developing high-performance asymmetric phenanthroline ligands.

[0004] Currently, the synthesis of asymmetric 1,10-phenanthroline mostly uses commercially available 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline as the starting material, employing two main control strategies. One strategy involves oxidizing the methyl group to an aldehyde group using selenium dioxide, followed by stepwise reactions to further connect different groups; the other involves further oxidizing the aldehyde group to a carboxyl group, and then activating the carboxyl group to connect different end groups. While these synthetic methods can yield asymmetric phenanthroline with different substituents, the synthetic process typically involves multiple intermediate steps, as well as possible protection and deprotection steps. This not only prolongs the synthesis cycle and reduces production efficiency, but also limits the types of functionalizable asymmetric phenanthroline ligands due to the limited reaction types of the aldehyde and carboxyl groups. Ultimately, this severely restricts the research on the diversity of asymmetric 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and their application prospects in large-scale production. Summary of the Invention
