The invention relates to the technical field of synthesis of
phenanthrene compounds, in particular to a synthesis method of a polysubstituted
phenanthrene compound. Comprising the following steps: sequentially adding a catalyst, a ligand, alkali, a reactant I, a reactant II, an N, N-
dimethylacetamide solution and a number 5 magneton into a reactor, replacing by N2, connecting a condensing
pipe, introducing
condensed water from bottom to top, placing the reactor into an
oil bath pan at 80-120 DEG C, heating, stirring and reacting for 8-24 hours, terminating the reaction, and purifying the product to obtain a
phenanthrene compound product; the reactant I is selected from one of 2-bromoacetophenone, 2-bromo-5-methyl
acetophenone, 2-bromo-5-methoxy
acetophenone, 2-bromo-5-ethyl
acetophenone or 2-bromo-5-phenyl acetophenone, and the reactant II is selected from one of 2-bromoacetophenone, 2-bromo-5-methyl acetophenone, 2-bromo-5-methoxy acetophenone, 2-bromo-5-ethyl acetophenone and 2-bromo-5-phenyl acetophenone; the reactant II is
norbornadiene; the method is mild in reaction condition, high in selectivity, relatively high in yield and environment-friendly; the active product can be used in the field of synthesis of drugs, pesticides and paint dyes.
