The invention discloses a synthesis method of 2-(1-hydroxy-4-keto-2,5-cyclohexadiene)-
pyran-4-
ketone. The method comprises the steps that 1, on the condition of
nitrogen protection and alkali existence, methoxy
acetophenone is subjected to
siloxane protection under the
room temperature, and 1-(4-methoxy phenyl)-1-trimethyl siloxyethylene is obtained; 2, on the condition of
nitrogen protection and mild acidity, 1-(4-methoxy phenyl)-1-trimethyl siloxyethylene and
oxalyl chloride are subjected to a
condensation reaction under the temperature of 0-5 DEG C, and 5-(4-methoxyl phenyl)-2, 3-dihydrofuran-2, 3-
diketone is obtained; 3, 5-(4-methoxyl phenyl)-2, 3-dihydrofuran-2, 3-
diketone and vinyl ethyl
ether are subjected to
reflux conditions to obtain 2-(4-methoxyl phenyl)-4H-pyrane-4-
ketone; 4, under the
nitrogen protection, demethylating is performed on the 2-(4-methoxyl phenyl)-4H-pyrane-4-
ketone to obtain 2-(4-hydroxyl phenyl)-4H-pyrane-4-ketone; 5, under the
room temperature, the 2-(4-hydroxyl phenyl)-4H-pyrane-4-ketone is subjected to a reaction under the effect of an
oxidizing agent to obtain 2-(1-hydroxy-4-keto-2,5-cyclohexadiene)-
pyran-4-ketone. The method is easy to implement, raw materials are easy to obtain, and the yield is high.
