The invention relates to the technical field of synthesis of ambrota ethers, and discloses a synthesis method of ambrota ethers, the reaction is mainly carried out through a synergistic way, and in the presence of fluorinated
alcohol, the strong acidic site of an imino diphosphoryl
imide ester catalyst promotes
protonation of a distal
double bond of (3E, 7E)-homofarnesyl
alcohol to form a cationic intermediate. Meanwhile, the imino diphosphoryl
imide ester catalyst promotes the (3E, 7E)-homofarnesyl
alcohol to be combined in an all-trans conformation manner, and guides carbocations and olefin to be subjected to stereotactic addition, so that a
polyene cyclization reaction with high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity is realized, and the ambrota
ether is finally generated. The fluorinated alcohol stabilizes the cation intermediate through a
hydrogen bond, so that the activity and selectivity of the reaction are further improved. The synthesis method of ambrota
ether is low in cost and efficient.
