The invention relates to the technical field of
chemical synthesis, and particularly discloses an alpha methyl beta
phosphonate compound and a synthesis method thereof.The alpha methyl beta
phosphonate compound is obtained by directly oxidizing the alpha position of
aryl ketone into carbon positive and combining the carbon positive with diethyl phosphite anions under the alkaline condition by using
hydrogen peroxide and
iodine as oxidizing agents. The alpha methyl substituted beta
phosphate ester compound can be generated by a one-
step method. The method is suitable for synthesizing compounds of
phosphoric acid (methyl, ethyl, propyl and the like) with different
alkyl substitutes (methyl, ethyl, propyl and the like) at carbonyl alpha positions. According to the method, the alpha-methyl substituted beta
phosphate compound can be synthesized only by using commercial cheap and easily available
aryl ketone as a
raw material, using
hydrogen peroxide and
iodine as oxidants and using diethyl
hypophosphite as a
phosphine source, and reacting in the DMSO
solvent at 100 DEG C for 12 hours, so that the target product can be obtained, and the yield is excellent. Compared with previously reported methods, the method does not need low-temperature operation, is simple to operate, adopts a one-pot method, does not need a
metal catalyst, and all raw materials are common bulk chemicals.
