The invention discloses a photoelectric functional material 2-(4-fluorophenyl) propionic acid-2-
propenyl ester synthesis method, which comprises: 1, adding
alkaline earth metal, an initiator and a
solvent I into a reaction
bottle, carrying out heating
reflux in an
inert gas
atmosphere, firstly dropwise adding a p-bromofluorobenzene solution, observing the change of the reaction solution, determining the
initiation success, then dropwise adding the residual p-bromofluorobenzene solution, and carrying out heating
reflux in an
inert gas
atmosphere, adding dropwise under a controlled
reflux condition, carrying out heat preservation and stirring after dropwise adding, then cooling in an
inert atmosphere, dropwise adding a 3-
pentanone solution, controlling the temperature until the reaction is finished, and carrying out post-treatment to obtain an intermediate 1; and 2, dissolving the intermediate 1 in a
solvent II, cooling in a
nitrogen atmosphere, dropwise adding an
alkyl metal solution, heating after dropwise adding, cooling, dropwise adding
methacrylic anhydride, controlling the temperature until the reaction is finished, adding a
polymerization inhibitor into the reaction liquid, and carrying out post-treatment to obtain the 2-(4-fluorophenyl) propionic acid-2-
propenyl ester. According to the invention, the cheap p-bromofluorobenzene is used as the
raw material, so that the material cost is saved, and the 2-(4-fluorophenyl) propionic acid-2-
propenyl ester with high purity and high yield is prepared.
