The invention discloses an
axial chirality-based binaphthol-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene complex and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding binaphthol into a first
solvent, adding
sodium carbonate and iodomethane, and performing a reaction so as to obtain 2,2'-dimethoxy-1,1'-binaphthalene; adding the 2,2'-dimethoxy-1,1'-binaphthalene into a second
solvent, adding n-
butyllithium and N,N-
dimethyl formamide at -78 DEG C to 0 DEG C, increasing the temperature to
room temperature, and performing a reaction so as to obtain 2,2'-dimethoxy-[1,1'-binaphthalene]-carboxaldehyde; adding the 2,2'-dimethoxy-[1,1'-binaphthalene]-carboxaldehyde into a third
solvent, adding 2,4-dimethylpyrrole and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-
benzoquinone, and performing a stirring reaction; and adding
triethylamine and a
boron trifluoride diethyl etherate solution, and performing a reaction continuously for 5-10 hours, so as to obtain the desired complex. Through simple synthesis steps, the
axial chirality-based binaphthol-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene complex is prepared, the preparation cost is low, the reaction condition is mild, purification is easy, and the synthesized compound has both an
axial chirality structure of binaphthol and a
fluorescence characteristic of a 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene complex.
