Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of photochemical organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a photochemical catalytic synthesis method of aryl alkyl ether compounds.

Background

Arylalkyl ethers are a common and important class of structural fragments in organic synthesis, which are widely found in natural and synthetic drugs. The arylalkyl ether compound is an organic compound having an aryloxyalkoxy group (Ar-O-R) in its molecular structure.

There are three main classical methods for synthesizing aryl alkyl ether compounds, i.e., Williamson ether synthesis, Ullmann coupling, Chan-L am oxidative coupling, aryl nucleophilic substitution, and Mitsunobu reaction, but all of the above methods are stoichiometric synthesis methods.

At present, the existing method for preparing aryl alkyl ether by catalytic reaction mainly adopts homogeneous Pd metal organic reagent as a catalyst, and has the problems of mild reaction conditions, environmental pollution, high cost, difficult separation of the catalyst and products, difficult catalyst regeneration and utilization and the like. Because of the global environmental problems, the development of society and science and technology makes the chemical production which is the primary purpose of environmental protection indispensable, and the urgent needs of some chemical products make us to find a simpler, green, cheap, high-yield, high-efficiency and high-selectivity synthetic method.

In recent years, research on heterogeneous photocatalysis has been advanced. TiO, a widely studied heterogeneous photocatalyst₂Has the advantages of environmental protection, good light stability, stable acid-base, low price, abundant reserves and the like. Under UV irradiation, TiO₂The photocatalyst can perform charge separation to generate hole and electron pair, initiate respective surface oxidation and reduction reactions in a conduction band and a valence band, and generate a secondary radical oxidation species such as hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion radical, hydrogen peroxide radical and the like which can indiscriminately oxidize almost all organic matters into CO₂And H₂O, and thus is widely used as an advanced oxidation technology in the elimination of water and indoor pollutants. However, due to the strong oxidizing property of photo-generated holes and secondary free radicals of titanium dioxide, TiO in the general water phase₂The semiconductor photocatalysis system can directly trigger the complete mineralization of organic matters. Even under the inert atmosphere in an organic solvent, because of the extremely high oxidation-reduction potential of titanium dioxide photoproduction cavity (2.9V vs standard hydrogen electrode), almost all non-selective bond breaking of organic compounds can be initiated, and further non-selective processes such as hydrogen extraction, halogen extraction, free radical addition and the like are initiated. Thus TiO₂Less application of photocatalysis to synthesis with high valueAnd (4) carrying out organic synthesis reaction.
