This invention discloses a method for preparing
benzothiophene derivatives, relating to the field of compound preparation. In preparing
benzothiophene derivatives, this invention involves mixing and reacting N-methylimidazolium, 1,4-butanesulfonate
lactone, and
sulfuric acid to obtain an
ionic liquid catalyst; mixing and reacting
thiophene, 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran, and the
ionic liquid catalyst under
microwave conditions to obtain
benzothiophene; and mixing and reacting benzothiophene, 2,4,5,6-
tetra(diphenylamino)-isophthalonitrile, and N,N-dicyclohexylmethylamine under
photocatalysis to obtain the benzothiophene derivative. The benzothiophene derivatives prepared by this invention utilize
ionic liquid catalysis and
microwave-assisted preparation of benzothiophene, followed by
photocatalysis to prepare the benzothiophene derivatives, avoiding the use of
metal catalysts and constructing an efficient and green synthetic
route. The benzothiophene derivatives prepared using this method exhibit good yields.
