The invention discloses a method for electrochemical synthesis of a 3, 4-dihydroisoquinoline-1 (2H)-
ketone compound, and the method comprises the following steps: dissolving a 1, 2, 3-benzotriazinone compound, a benzyne compound and an
electrolyte salt in a
solvent to obtain a reaction solution, placing an
anode and a
cathode in the reaction solution, introducing a
direct current, and carrying out electrochemical reaction to obtain the 3, 4-dihydroisoquinoline-1 (2H)-
ketone compound. And after the reaction is finished, carrying out post-treatment to obtain the 3, 4-dihydroisoquinoline-1 (2H)-
ketone compound. The method has the characteristics that synthesis is performed through an electrochemical method, a
transition metal catalyst is not needed, the use of a chemical oxidation
reducing agent is avoided, and the method is green, environment-friendly, high in safety, simple to operate, mild in reaction condition, easy to control and the like.
