The invention relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis, and provides an
asymmetric carbon-
hydrogen bond boronation reaction catalyst and a preparation method of chiral dicyclobutane. A catalyst composed of a chiral
boron-based ligand and an
iridium salt is adopted to catalyze an
asymmetric carbon-
hydrogen bond boronation reaction of prochiral dicyclobutane, in a
reaction system, the
iridium salt and the chiral
boron-based ligand are combined to form a complex, the complex reacts with B2pin2 to form an active intermediate, and the active intermediate is separated from the chiral
boron-based ligand to form the chiral dicyclobutane. Then the
iridium center and a carbon-
hydrogen bond of a 3-substituted dicyclobutane-1-
formamide compound are subjected to an asymmetric
oxidative addition reaction to form an iridium-carbon bond, then reduction
elimination is carried out, and the target product chiral dicyclobutane is generated. The reaction condition for constructing the chiral dicyclobutane is mild, the selectivity is high, the enantioselectivity is 95% or above, the substrate universality is wide, and chiral dicyclobutane compounds of different structures can be synthesized.
