The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, removing air and
moisture in a reaction container, and then carrying out
nitrogen replacement on the reaction container; adding a certain amount of an o-bromophenyl acetylenic
ketone compound, an indanone compound and an alkali
accelerant into the reaction container treated in the step 1 in a
nitrogen atmosphere, and then adding a reaction
solvent; sealing the reaction container, and stirring and reacting for 2-3 hours under the heating condition of the reaction container; after the reaction is finished, adding acid into the reaction container and stirring at
room temperature; adding a certain amount of an oxidant and a catalyst into the reaction container, placing the reaction container at
room temperature, and carrying out a stirring reaction for a certain time; and after the reaction is completed, adding water for
quenching, and carrying out column separation to obtain the target product
cyclohexenone spirolactone derivative. The one-pot two-step preparation method is simple and convenient, the raw materials are simple and easy to obtain, and the prepared
ketene spirolactone derivative can be used as an
organic synthesis intermediate.
