The invention provides a green synthesis method of an alpha-
aminoketone compound based on visible light
catalytic oxidation amination reaction, and belongs to the technical field of organic chemical synthesizing.According to the method, aliphatic
aldehyde and secondary amine which are low in price and easy to obtain serve as raw materials,
oxygen serves as a green terminal
oxidizing agent, and the alpha-
aminoketone compound is synthesized under normal temperature and
visible light irradiation. The alpha-
aminoketone compound is efficiently synthesized in one step through oxidative
amination reaction catalyzed by organic photosensitizers such as
rhodamine 6G and
anthraquinone. According to the method, a
noble metal catalyst and a stoichiometric oxidant are abandoned, the reaction condition is mild (
room temperature), the operation is simple and convenient, the substrate application range is wide, and the method shows excellent compatibility to functional groups including various complex cyclic secondary amines (such as
natural product derivatives of
nornicotine,
cytisine and the like); compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that important transformation from thermal activation to
light activation is realized on the
reaction mechanism, and a novel green way which is more economical and environment-friendly and is easy for large-scale production is provided for synthesis of alpha-aminoketone.
