The invention belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis methodology, and particularly relates to a photoinduced beta-cyano
sulfone compound synthesis method based on a triarylamine
electron donor acceptor compound and application of the photoinduced beta-cyano
sulfone compound. According to the method, a substituted
sulfonium salt serves as an
electron acceptor, triarylamine serves as an
electron donor to form an EDA compound, and under the action of visible light, the EDA compound is synthesized into a beta-cyano
sulfone compound based on the triarylamine
electron donor acceptor compound. The method comprises the following steps: by taking substituted
cyanohydrin as a
raw material and 4-diazabicyclo [2.2. 2]
octane di (
sulfur dioxide)
adduct [(
DABCO). (SO2) 2] as a
sulfur source, adding an
organic solvent, reacting in an
inert gas at a certain temperature, and realizing a bifunctionalization process of olefin through far-end functional group migration, thereby obtaining the beta-cyano sulfone compound. The method does not need harsh
reaction conditions, the reaction can be completed in one step, the
reaction conditions are mild, and the method is green and environment-friendly. The beta-cyano sulfone compound and the derivative thereof prepared by the method are expected to be applied to the research and development fields of anti-
cancer, antiviral and antibacterial medicines and the like.
