The invention relates to a diazotization ring closing method for synthesizing a 4, 4-dimethyl-4H-
cyclopentane benzophenanthrene compound. The diazotization ring closing method comprises the following steps of: adding a diazotization
reagent; according to the method, an amino-containing
biphenyl dimethyl
fluorene compound is taken as a
raw material, diazotization reaction and intramolecular ring-closing reaction are continuously completed in the same
reaction system under
anhydrous and anaerobic conditions, and the benzophenanthrene fused ring skeleton is directly constructed. According to the method, a
diazo intermediate is generated in situ under an acidic condition, and is promoted to be converted to an
intramolecular cyclization direction in the presence of a
copper salt catalyst and a
drying agent, so that the problems that a dibenzfluorene
system is large in tension, and a traditional aminophenanthrene ring method is low in conversion rate and has many side reactions are effectively solved. The method is mild in reaction condition, independent of a high-load
noble metal catalyst, simple and convenient to operate, good in adaptability to
substituent groups, suitable for large-scale implementation and good in industrial application prospect.
