Description

Method for synthesizing pinacol by selective electroreduction coupling of active hydrogen-mediated carbonyl compound in water
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrocatalytic synthesis of pinacol, in particular to a method for synthesizing pinacol by active hydrogen-mediated selective electroreduction coupling of carbonyl compounds in water.
Background
The formation of carbon-carbon bonds is an important method for organically synthesizing chemical construction compounds, selective reductive coupling of carbonyl compounds for synthesizing pinacol provides a feasible way for constructing carbon-carbon bonds, and the obtained pinacol products and derivatives thereof have very important application in the fields of natural products, medicines, materials, catalysis and the like, but the preparation of the pinacol by the reductive coupling of carbonyl compounds still cannot be applied on a large scale due to the restriction of the synthesis method. The methods for synthesizing pinacol so far mainly include:
(1) Traditional chemical Synthesis
Conventional chemical processes generally use far greater than stoichiometric amounts of reducing agents (Mg, zn, al, etc.), and require the addition of acidic auxiliaries (mineral acids, tiCl 4 ,ZnCl 2 Etc.). The method not only causes waste due to excessive use of metal, but also generates a large amount of reaction waste to pollute the environment, which does not meet the synthesis requirements of atomic economy and green chemistry in modern production. In recent decades, attempts have been made to optimize the process of pinacol synthesis with lanthanoid elements, metal halides, etc. as catalysts, avoiding to some extent the waste of metals. However, the cost of synthesizing these catalysts is high, and the large-scale application of the reduction coupling of carbonyl compounds is still limited.
(2) Photocatalytic process
With the deep knowledge of pinacol synthesis and the development of photocatalytic synthesis technology, researchers have found that photochemical reduction of carbonyl compounds can yield high yields of coupled products. However, the method generally uses a complex of noble metal Ir as a photocatalyst, and simultaneously needs organic amine, such as hydrazine hydrate and the like, as a proton source, which not only increases the cost for synthesizing pinacol, but also causes side reactions; meanwhile, the method has the defects of low light reaction energy utilization rate, long reaction time, poor stability of the photocatalyst, complex recycling process and the like. Therefore, there is a need to explore and develop a green, economical, efficient and catalyst stable, easy to recycle process to achieve high selectivity synthesis of pinacol.
(3) Electrocatalytic process
In recent years, the electrocatalytic organic transformation has the advantages of environmental friendliness, mild reaction conditions, high energy utilization rate, controllable reaction height and the like, is applied to organic synthesis as an important transformation means, and a plurality of important medicaments, functional materials and the like are prepared, so that effective regulation and control of product selectivity can be realized by regulating input voltage or current, and the electrocatalytic or promoted organic transformation gradually becomes one of the popular research directions in synthetic chemistry.
In early studies of pinacol coupling, acetophenone in the organic phase electrolyte could be reduced to glycol at the mercury electrode surface. Typically, organic solvents such as: the use of DMF, DMSO, etc. can make product isolation difficult; in the subsequent research, the electrolyte is replaced by the ionic liquid to relieve the problem of difficult separation of the pinacol product, but expensive ionic liquid and Pt and Hg electrodes are still important constraint factors for the mass production and synthesis of the pinacol.
In view of the defects of the synthesis method, the realization of the high-selectivity preparation of the pinacol by the electroreduction coupling of the carbonyl compound by using the medium of the aqueous electrolyte has important significance. In the aqueous electrolyte, reactions that may occur on the cathode are Hydrogen Evolution Reactions (HER) of water decomposition, reduction of carbonyl compounds to monohydric alcohols, and reductive coupling to pinacol. It is well known that alkaline electrolytes can inhibit HER to some extent, but carbonyl reduction to monohydric alcohols remains the primary competing reaction for pinacol synthesis. It is therefore necessary to find an inexpensive, efficient electrocatalyst that significantly reduces or inhibits HER or side reactions that produce monohydric alcohols in aqueous electrolytes to increase the conversion and selectivity of pinacol synthesis.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention overcomes the defects in the prior art, the use of an organic solvent can make the separation of products difficult, if the electrolyte is replaced by the ionic liquid, the problem of difficult separation of pinacol products can be solved, but expensive ionic liquid and Pt and Hg electrodes are still important constraint factors for the mass production of the pinacol, the invention provides a method for synthesizing the pinacol by selective electric reduction coupling of active hydrogen-mediated carbonyl compounds in water, the high-efficiency and high-selectivity synthesis of the pinacol compounds can be realized in a wider potential range, the high-efficiency and high-selectivity synthesis of the pinacol compounds has higher functional group tolerance and better substrate applicability, and the method uses cheap and easily available and high-efficiency carbon materials as electrodes, uses green, safe and abundant water as solvents and hydrogen sources, has mild reaction conditions, no need of heating, simple operation and easy separation of products, and easy recovery of the catalyst.
