The invention relates to the technical field of
pesticide chemistry, and provides a preparation method of an alpha-halogenated
ketone compound. The preparation method comprises the steps: mixing terminal
alkyne halide, an
organic solvent, acid and water, and reacting to obtain the alpha-halogenated
ketone compound. According to the preparation method provided by the invention, the terminal
alkyne halide is directly reacted under the conditions of acid and water, and the use of a
metal ion complex catalyst is avoided, so that the tedious operation of removing
metal ions in the post-treatment process of the product is avoided, the whole process is simple and convenient to operate, green and environment-friendly, and the requirements of large-scale industrial production are met; and in addition, the method provided by the invention is high in
raw material conversion rate, relatively high in product yield and purity, free of
anhydrous and anaerobic operation and wide in substrate universality, and target molecules can be obtained from aliphatic, aromatic and other terminal
alkyne halides at high yield. Furthermore, the preparation method provided by the invention is mild in reaction condition and easy to control.
