The invention discloses a 3, 3-bisindole dialkyl compound and a synthesis method thereof, and the synthesis method comprises the following steps: (1) putting indole and a derivative thereof, a
palladium catalyst, a ligand, alkali, a
solvent and 3-bromo-3, 3-difluoropropylene into a reaction
bottle, and carrying out a heating reaction at 80-100 DEG C for 6-12 h; and (2) after the reaction is finished, cooling to
room temperature, extracting, removing the
solvent by rotary
evaporation, then adding
dichloromethane into a reaction flask, adding
silica gel, uniformly stirring to obtain a powdery
solid, and finally separating and purifying by using a
chromatographic column to obtain the 3, 3-bisindole dialkyl compound. According to the 3, 3-bisindole dialkyl compound and the synthesis method thereof, the
fluorine-containing olefin with strong
electron-withdrawing capability and the C-3 site of indole are more easily subjected to
electrophilic substitution, the method has higher reaction activity and a wide application range, the temperature required by the reaction is lower, the reaction time is shorter, the reaction yield is considerable, the highest reaction yield can reach 88%, and the method is suitable for industrial production. The method has positive significance on green
chemical synthesis.
