The synthesis method comprises the following steps: by taking 3, 5-dimethoxyacetophenone as shown in a formula I as a
raw material, carrying out
Wittig reaction to obtain mixed-configuration trisubstituted olefin as shown in a formula b, carrying out asymmetric
hydroboration reaction by taking pinacolborane as a
boron source and a chiral CoCl2-TIP complex as a catalyst under the action of a
reducing agent, and carrying out recrystallization to obtain the actinomycete
ketone key intermediate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a chiral
alkyl boron compound as shown in a formula c, deprotecting an
aldehyde acetal group of the chiral
alkyl boron compound as shown in the formula c to form an
aldehyde group, carrying out intramolecular
electrophilic addition reaction to form a ring, carrying out
dehydration elimination to prepare a dihydronaphthalene compound as shown in a formula d, and oxidizing to prepare a key intermediate compound of actinomycete
ketone as shown in a formula II. The method has the advantages of mild
reaction conditions, simple operation, good reaction conversion rate, total yield of 67.2%, and high
enantiomer selectivity of 92%. According to the invention, the reaction steps are shortened, the reaction yield is increased by more than 10 times, and good enantioselectivity is still maintained.
