This invention discloses a cyanoindanone
enol ether, its preparation method, and its application in organic photovoltaic materials. The cyanoindanone
enol ether comprises at least one of the following structural formulas: R1 is selected from
alkyl, aromatic ring,
alkyl-substituted or
halogen-substituted aromatic ring; R2-R5 are selected from
hydrogen,
alkyl,
halogen, aromatic ring, alkyl-substituted or
halogen-substituted aromatic ring. This invention also provides a method for preparing an organic photovoltaic
acceptor material, comprising: performing a
Knoevenagel condensation reaction on a cyanoindanone
enol ether, an aromatic
aldehyde, a protic acid, and a
condensation reaction solvent to obtain the organic photovoltaic
acceptor material. The cyanoindanone
enol ether prepared by this invention exhibits excellent
solubility, and the isomers show significant differences in
retention time in
column chromatography, enabling effective separation and purification of the isomers. This provides an effective
route for isomer separation, facilitating the synthesis of high-purity organic photovoltaic
acceptor materials, and ultimately, the preparation of high-efficiency organic photovoltaic devices.
