production method | 1. β-naphthylhydrazine and methyl isopropyl ketone are used as raw materials to react to obtain 2,3, 3-trimethyl-4, 5-benzoindole with a yield of 82.2%. The reaction formula is: 2. β-naphthylhydrazine hydrochloride and methyl isopropyl ketone are dissolved in quantitative ethanol, after stirring and reflux at 80 ℃ for 1.5h, after dropping sulfuric acid dehydration closed loop, continue to reflux for 3.5h, the mixture is treated to obtain crude product, and then recrystallized with cyclohexane to obtain 2,3, 3-trimethyl-4, 5-benzoindole with a yield of 74%. The reaction time is greatly shortened and the yield is also higher. 3. β-naphthol replaces the carcinogenic and internationally banned 2-naphthylamine raw material to prepare 2,3, 3-trimethyl-4, 5-benzindole. The process is simple, but the reaction time is long and the yield is low (about 15%), so it is worth further discussion on this synthesis method by relevant researchers. The reaction is as follows: 4. Use diaryl ketone hydrazone (Ar1Ar2C = NNH2) to react with 2-halogenated naphthalene to generate intermediate diaryl ketone-β-naphthalene hydrazone, and then add methyl isopropyl ketone to dehydrate the ring under acid catalysis to obtain 2,3, 3-trimethyl-4, 5-benzoindole. The synthetic route is as follows: naphthylamine and naphthylhydrazine, which are easy to cause cancer, are not used in the reaction, and the yield is relatively high (about 80%). If 1-halonaphthalene is used to react with diarylketone hydrazone, the isomer 2,3, 3-trimethyl-6, 7-benzindole of compound 1 can be obtained under the same conditions. However, the reaction time of this method is long, the reactants are used more, and the post-treatment is more complicated. |
