The invention discloses a synthesis method of 2-
aryl-5-
alkyl-3-pyridylthiophene, which comprises the following steps: by taking 3-pyridylthiophene,
alkyl bromide and
chlorobenzene as raw materials, catalyzing by using a
ruthenium catalyst, and carrying out a three-component reaction by using a one-pot method to prepare the 2-
aryl-5-
alkyl-3-pyridylthiophene. According to the method, selective carbon-
hydrogen bond activation of C2 and C5 sites of 3-pyridyl
thiophene is realized by utilizing a
ruthenium catalyst, so that precise
bifunctional modification is completed in a single
reaction system. According to the invention, the 2-
aryl-5-alkyl-3-pyridyl
thiophene with a clear structure is successfully constructed, and the technical vacancy of related fields in the aspect of regioselective one-pot bifunctionalization is made up. Compared with a traditional fractional
step method, the method has the advantages of simplified reaction steps, convenience in operation, good functional group compatibility, relatively high chemical selectivity,
regioselectivity,
atom economy and the like, is suitable for efficient construction of various heterocyclic compounds, and has a good application prospect.
