The application belongs to the field of
chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of 5-benzoyl dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one and derivatives thereof. The preparation method is as follows: five-membered ring, six-membered ring aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, and substituted
glutaric anhydride are used as raw materials, aluminum
chloride is used as a catalyst, a
solvent is simply distilled out, and phenyl dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one and derivatives are prepared by one-pot method with
iodobenzene acetate as an oxidant. The reaction condition is simple, the
reaction temperature is 40-60 DEG C, no
noble metal catalyst is used in the scheme disclosed in the application, no heavy
metal residue is caused, the raw materials used are commercial products, the oxidant and the catalyst are relatively inexpensive and easy-to-obtain substances, the reaction operation is simple, and the
reaction product is easy to purify and the post-treatment is convenient.
