The invention discloses a synthesis method of 2-bromomethyl-5-
trifluoromethyl furan, which comprises the following steps: S1, carrying out reaction on acetoacetate and halogenated trifluoroacetone under the action of an alkaline substance and a catalyst to generate a 2-acetyl-5, 5, 5-trifluoro-4-oxovalerate crude product; s2, carrying out a cyclization reaction on the 2-acetyl-5, 5, 5-trifluoro-4-oxovalerate crude product, so as to obtain a 2-methyl-5-(
trifluoromethyl)
furan-3-
formate crude product, and carrying out a cyclization reaction on the 2-acetyl-5, 5, 5-trifluoro-4-oxovalerate crude product to obtain a 2-methyl-5-(
trifluoromethyl)
furan-3-
formate crude product; s3, adding an alkaline substance into the crude product, carrying out
hydrolysis, and adding acid to adjust the pH value after the
hydrolysis is completed, so as to obtain 2-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl) furan-3-
formic acid; s4, the 2-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl) furan-3-
formic acid is subjected to a heating
decarboxylation reaction, and 2-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl) furan is obtained; and S5, carrying out a bromination reaction on the 2-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl) furan and a bromination
reagent to obtain a final product 2-bromomethyl-5-(trifluoromethyl) furan. The raw materials used in the synthesis method are easy to obtain, use of control chemicals is not involved, and industrialization is easy to achieve.
