The invention discloses a
ruthenium complex precursor synthesis method, which comprises: adding a
ruthenium trichloride
hydrate (112.8 g, 0.41 mol) with a
ruthenium content of 37% and 1.6 L of
ethanol into a 5000 ml multi-port reaction
bottle under a
nitrogen atmosphere, and stirring to dissolve; dropwise adding
pyridine (163.3 g, 2.06 mol) into a
reaction system at
room temperature, after dropwise adding is completed, heating to
reflux and reacting for 3 hours until the
system becomes red, slowly recovering to
room temperature, and filtering; the preparation method comprises the following steps: adding a
sodium acetate solution into a reaction kettle, stirring, filtering, concentrating filtrate to 2 / 3 of the volume, cooling to 0 DEG C, dropwise adding a
tetrahydrofuran solution of
sodium acetylcyclopentadienyl (820 mL, 0.82 mol) with the
molar concentration of 1 mol / L, slowly recovering to
room temperature after dropwise adding, continuously reacting for 10 hours, draining the
solvent, extracting by using
dichloromethane, filtering, draining the filtrate, pulping a crude product by using
ethanol, filtering, washing by using
ethanol, and
drying to obtain a finished product. 91.8 g of the
diacetyl ruthenium dicyclopentadienyl intermediate is obtained, and the yield is 71%; and
borane dimethyl sulfide reduction is carried out. The method has the advantages of simple and easily available reaction raw materials, convenient operation, mild
reaction conditions, low cost and high
safety coefficient.
