The application belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing 1-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)
thio-N-benzyl-2-
naphthylamine by a
continuous flow light-heat integrated method. The method is performed in a micro-channel reaction device provided with light and heat. N-benzyl-2-
naphthylamine, 2,2',4,4'-tetramethyl
diphenyl disulfide and a catalyst
sodium iodide are dissolved in
acetonitrile solvent to obtain a reaction solution. A
blue light is used as a
light source of a reaction module, and the temperature is adjusted to 25-60 DEG C. Air or
oxygen is introduced into the reaction solution, and magnetic stirring is performed. Then, the gas-liquid mixed reaction solution is input into the reaction module through a
peristaltic pump to obtain 1-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)
thio-N-benzyl-2-
naphthylamine. The application creatively uses the
continuous flow light-heat integrated reaction technology to synthesize 1-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)
thio-N-benzyl-2-naphthylamine, greatly improves the reaction efficiency, shortens the reaction time, improves the safety and
controllability of the reaction, solves the amplification effect of the conventional reaction, and provides a reaction technology without
bottleneck amplification for the synthesis of the compound.
