The invention discloses an iodinated flavone derivative electrochemical synthesis method, which comprises: adding a flavone derivative,
potassium iodide and a
solvent into an unseparated electrolytic bath, using a
graphite rod as an
anode and a
platinum sheet as a
cathode, stirring under the current condition of 10 milliamperes, and separating and purifying a reaction crude product to obtain the iodinated flavone derivative. The invention develops an electrochemical C-H
iodination reaction of
potassium iodide and
flavone derivatives, a series of functionalized iodinated
flavone derivatives can be constructed through simple operation, and compared with the traditional synthesis method, the method has the main advantages that: 1) the reaction condition is mild, and the reaction can be smoothly carried out at
room temperature; the method has the advantages of simple operation, no need of
nitrogen protection, no use of a chemical oxidant due to the fact that an electric oxidation method is used in the reaction, good tolerance of functional groups, high yield and short reaction time.
