The invention provides a preparation method of p-tert-butylphenyl
sulfide cyclopentane trifluorosulfonate, and belongs to the technical field of
photoacid synthesis. Comprising the following steps: S1, adding 5-bromo-1-pentanol,
triethylamine and a first
solvent into a reaction container, uniformly stirring, then adding p-tert-butylthiophenol, fully reacting, and spin-
drying the
solvent to obtain a compound 1; and S2, directly adding a second
solvent and
triethylamine into the compound 1, fully stirring, adding
trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride at
room temperature, fully reacting, and performing post-treatment to obtain a white powdery compound 2, namely p-tert-butylphenyl vulcanized
cyclopentane trifluorosulfonate. According to the invention, 5-bromo-1-pentanol and p-tert-butylthiophenol are used as reaction raw materials, a compound 1 is obtained under base
catalysis, and then esterification and ring closing are carried out to obtain a target product. The synthesis method provided by the invention is simple to operate, high in reaction yield and high in product purity (the yield is greater than or equal to 80%, and the HPLC purity is gt; 99.1%).
