Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically to a photocatalytic synthesis method for 2,5-diphenylfuran-3-carboxylic acid esters. Background Technology

[0002] 2,5-Diphenylfuran-3-carboxylic acid esters contain a furan ring, a benzene ring, and an ester group. They possess a unique conjugated structure and electronic effects, exhibiting excellent performance in pharmaceuticals, materials, and fine chemicals, and showing great promise for industrial applications. For example, in the pharmaceutical field, 2,5-diphenylfuran-3-carboxylic acid esters can act as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor active ingredients, participating in the regulation of enzyme activity and receptor binding processes in vivo. In the materials field, they can be used in the preparation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), fluorescent probes, and organic semiconductor materials. In the fine chemical field, they can serve as intermediates for the synthesis of high-performance coatings, polymer monomers, and fragrance precursors.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for synthesizing 2,5-diphenylfuran-3-carboxylic acid esters include the following categories: 1) Synthetic method based on Paal-Knorr furan synthesis reaction: 1,4-dicarbonyl compound is used as raw material to generate furan ring by intramolecular dehydration cyclization under acid catalysis. However, this method requires multiple steps to synthesize 1,4-dicarbonyl raw material (e.g., 2,5-diphenyl-3-oxovalerate ester). The raw material preparation process is cumbersome and costly. Furthermore, the subsequent synthesis of 2,5-diphenylfuran-3-carboxylic acid esters under acid catalysis is prone to ester hydrolysis or phenyl substituent rearrangement. The reaction selectivity is poor, and the yield of the target product is usually less than 50%, which is difficult to meet the needs of industrial production. 2) Transition metal-catalyzed cyclization reaction method: Using transition metals such as palladium (Pd) and copper (Cu) as catalysts, a furan ring skeleton is constructed through the cyclization coupling reaction of alkynes and alcohols (e.g., using phenylacetylene and α-hydroxy ketone as raw materials to generate 2,5-diphenylfuran intermediate under Pd(PPh3)4 catalysis, followed by esterification to introduce a carboxylic acid ester group). However, the transition metal catalysts used in this method are expensive and tend to remain in the product (the pharmaceutical field has strict requirements for metal residue levels, which must be below 10 ppm). The subsequent purification process is complex, and the reaction needs to be carried out at high temperature (120℃~150℃) and under inert gas protection, which is demanding and energy-intensive. In addition, the substrate universality is poor (when the phenyl group has strong electron-withdrawing groups such as nitro or cyano, the reaction is prone to termination, making it impossible to efficiently synthesize multi-substituted derivatives). 3) Multi-component tandem reaction method: Using aldehydes, ketones, diethyl malonate, etc. as raw materials, 2,5-diphenylfuran-3-carboxylic acid esters are synthesized through Knoevenagel condensation-cyclization tandem reaction. However, this method requires the use of excessive organic bases (e.g., piperidine, triethylamine) as catalysts, which will generate a large amount of alkaline wastewater, causing serious environmental pollution. Moreover, the reaction generates a large number of byproducts (e.g., monosubstituted furans, transesterification products), making the separation and purification of the target product difficult, and the purity of the product is difficult to meet the application standards in the pharmaceutical or materials fields (purity must be ≥98%).

[0004] In summary, the existing methods for synthesizing 2,5-diphenylfuran-3-carboxylic acid esters all have significant shortcomings and cannot fully meet the needs of practical applications.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a method for synthesizing 2,5-diphenylfuran-3-carboxylic acid esters that uses inexpensive and readily available raw materials, has mild reaction conditions, uses inexpensive and environmentally friendly catalysts, exhibits high reaction selectivity, and is suitable for industrial production.
