The invention discloses a preparation method of
tetrathiafulvalene, which comprises the following steps:
piperidine,
carbon disulfide and an alkaline
sodium-containing compound are mixed to react to generate an intermediate 1, and then bromoacetaldehyde
ethylene glycol is added to react to obtain an intermediate 2; mixing and reacting the intermediate 2 with concentrated
sulfuric acid and hexafluorophosphorus to obtain an intermediate 3; reacting the intermediate 3 with
sodium borohydride to obtain an intermediate 4; reacting the intermediate 4,
acetic anhydride and
hexafluorophosphoric acid to obtain an intermediate 5; and reacting the intermediate 5 with alkali in an
organic solvent to obtain
tetrathiafulvalene. In the synthesis
route, the
reaction conditions of the preparation process from the intermediate 2 to the intermediate 3 are adjusted, the intermediate 3 is prepared by a one-pot method, the step of purifying the intermediate in the preparation process from the intermediate 2 to the intermediate 3 in the prior art is avoided, the synthesis time is shortened, and the efficiency is greatly improved; the synthesis
route from the intermediate 5 to the
tetrathiafulvalene is adjusted in one step, so that the step of converting
hexafluorophosphate into iodized salt is avoided, and the synthesis efficiency is further improved.
