The synthesis method comprises the following steps: adding a methylthio phenyl alkynone compound as shown in a formula (I), 2-bromo-2, 2-difluoro-N-
aryl acetamide as shown in a formula (II) and DABSO as shown in a formula (III) into a reaction
solvent, carrying out stirring reaction under the conditions of
nitrogen protection and illumination, and carrying out filtering, washing and
drying, thereby obtaining the methylsulfonyl thioflavone derivative as shown in the formula (I). The synthesis method comprises the following steps: adding a methylthio phenyl alkynone compound as shown in the formula (I), 2-bromo-2, 2-difluoro-N-
aryl acetamide as shown in the formula (II) and DABSO as shown in the formula (III) into the reaction
solvent; after the reaction is finished, the reaction liquid is subjected to post-treatment to obtain a target compound, namely the methylsulfonyl-containing thioflavone derivative with the anti-tumor activity, shown as a formula (IV), the reaction equation is # imgabs0, and DABSO is a bis (
sulfur dioxide)-1, 4-diazabicyclo [2.2. 2]
octane adduct; in the formula (I) and the formula (IV), R is selected from a
bromine atom or a
pyridine ring; r1 is selected from a cyano group, a
halogen group or a thienyl group. The method has the advantages of simple operation process, cheap and easily available raw materials, mild
reaction conditions,
environmental protection,
atom economy and high yield.
