The invention discloses an N-
trifluoromethyl diarylamine compound as well as a synthesis method and application thereof. The synthesis method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: step 1, preparation of an N-
thio-fluoroformyl diarylamine compound: under the protection of
inert gas, dissolving a diarylamine compound, organic
phosphine,
silane and trifluoromethanesulfonyl
chloride in a
solvent I, carrying out a heating reaction, and carrying out post-treatment to obtain the N-
thio-fluoroformyl diarylamine compound; and 2, preparing the N-
trifluoromethyl diarylamine compound: under the protection of
inert gas, carrying out heating reaction on the N-thiofluoroformyl diarylamine compound and
silver fluoride in a
solvent 2, and carrying out post-treatment to obtain the N-
trifluoromethyl diarylamine compound. According to the invention, a
continuous reaction system of organic
phosphine-
silane catalysis and
silver fluoride desulfurization fluorination is established for the first time, and efficient utilization of trifluoromethanesulfonyl
chloride is realized. The method has the advantages of simplicity and convenience in operation, mild
reaction conditions, high yield and the like, and shows good compatibility to sensitive functional groups and complex molecular structures.
