The invention relates to a method for preparing an
aryl thiopyrano [3, 2-e] [1, 2] oxazine compound. According to the method, an N-methyl
aryl nitrone compound and an
aryl thioether cyclopropane compound react through
photocatalysis. Comprising the following steps: step 1, loading magnetons into a dried 10mL Schlenk tube, adding a photocatalyst C (
solid) and a
raw material A (
solid), extracting and replacing
nitrogen for three times, rapidly adding ultra-dry
acetonitrile under
nitrogen flow, rapidly adding the
raw material A (liquid) by using a microsyringe, and tightening a cock to obtain a
mixed solution; wherein the
raw material A is N-methyl aryl
nitrone, the raw material B is aryl
thioether cyclopropane, and the photocatalyst C is Acr-Mes-tBu < + > (BF4 <->). And 2, stirring the
mixed solution obtained in the step 1 at
room temperature under the
irradiation of 456nm
blue light until the N-methyl aryl
nitrone compound is completely reacted, and after the reaction is finished, carrying out
silica gel column chromatography separation on the reaction solution to obtain the aryl thiopyrano [3, 2-e] [1, 2] oxazine compound. Compared with other methods for synthesizing the oxazine compounds, the preparation method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the conditions are mild, the dosage of the used
nonmetal catalyst is small, the cost is low, the substrate application range is wide, and the obtained aryl thiopyrano [3, 2-e] [1, 2] oxazine compounds have wide application prospects in research and development of medicines, agricultural chemicals and
advanced materials.
