The invention belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis and discloses a beta-
trifluoromethyl-beta-hydroxy substituted
cyclohexanone derivative and a synthesis method thereof. The beta-
trifluoromethyl-beta-hydroxy substituted
cyclohexanone derivative has a
structural formula shown in a first formula. The synthesis method comprises the following steps of: under the conditions of a catalyst, alkali and
organic solvent, mixing alpha, beta-unsaturated
oxime ester category compounds with
trifluoromethyl ketone category compounds, and post-treating
reaction product to obtain the beta-trifluoromethyl-beta-hydroxy substituted
cyclohexanone derivative. According to the synthesis method, cheap
metal copper is used as a catalyst, no ligand is needed, and the used raw materials are cheap andeasy to obtain; the reaction has good adaptability to functional groups, has wide adaptability to substrates, has high product yield, and can be amplified to
gram scale production, the operation is simple and safe, the
reaction conditions are mild, the method has good industrial application prospect, the obtained product has wide application in the fields of pesticides, medicines and materials.
