The application belongs to the technical field of
chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to a synthesis method of 2-
aryl-2-cyclohexanedione
enol ester compounds. The method uses a
transition metal complex as a catalyst, and uses a phenyl
boronic acid compound and an
iodine onium compound as raw materials, first synthesizes a 3-hydroxy-2-
aryl-2-
cyclohexenone compound, and then synthesizes the 2-
aryl-2-cyclohexanedione
enol ester compound through
acylation. The reaction condition is mild, no additional additives (such as alkali-
sodium acetate, expensive silver salt-
silver acetate, etc.) need to be added, the C-C bond can be efficiently and quickly constructed, the 2-aryl-2-cyclohexanedione cyclization derivative is obtained, the reaction operation is simple, the reaction time is short, the method has high efficiency and high safety, the substrate range is wide, the functional group tolerance is good, the method conforms to the concept of
green chemistry and high atomic economy, and is very suitable for large-scale industrial production.
