The invention belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and provides a multifunctional
naphthalene derivative as well as a preparation method and application thereof. In the
structural formula of the multifunctional
naphthalene derivative, R2 is
alkyl, phenyl, 2-naphthyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-thienyl, an aromatic ring connected with an
electron withdrawing group or an aromatic ring connected with an
electron donating group, and the
electron withdrawing group and the electron donating group comprise methyl, methoxyl,
trifluoromethyl or
halogen; r3 is H, methyl or methoxyl; r4 is H, methyl, phenyl or alkynyl. According to the preparation method, a 1, 6-diyne-3-
alcohol compound is taken as a
raw material, [2-(di-tert-butylphosphine)
biphenyl]
gold chloride (I) and
silver tetrafluoroborate are taken as catalysts, intramolecular 6-endo-dig cyclization, 3, 3-
Claisen rearrangement and
aromatization reaction are performed, and finally, deacylation reaction is performed to obtain the multifunctional
naphthalene derivative with phenyl, phenylethynyl and naphthalene ring structures. The method has application value in multiple fields.
