The application provides a 1,5-dicarbonyl compound and a synthesis method and application thereof, wherein the synthesis method of the 1,5-dicarbonyl compound comprises the following steps: under the protection of
inert gas, mixing 1,3-dicarbonyl compound and olefin compound in an
organic solvent, and under the action of a
zirconium-containing catalyst, reacting under the conditions of stirring and
light source irradiation to generate the 1,5-dicarbonyl compound. The synthesis method of the 1,5-dicarbonyl compound has the characteristics of mildness, high efficiency and green
environmental protection, and can realize catalytic asymmetric process, and the synthesis method is characterized in that under the protection of
inert gas, chiral or achiral 1,5-dicarbonyl compound is synthesized by using 1,3-dicarbonyl compound and olefin compound as raw materials, a
zirconium-containing catalyst, and the conditions of stirring and
light source irradiation. The method can directly react under the condition of
inert gas protection and
light irradiation, does not need to add an additive, does not generate toxic by-products, and has an atomic economy of 100%.
