Application and preparation of 2,2′-biphenol_Kain Industrial Additive

Background and overview^[1]

The direct coupling of phenols such as 2,2′-biphenol to the corresponding biphenol derivatives of industrial importance has always been a challenge because these reactions typically have neither regioselectivity nor chemical options sex. The term phenols is used in this application as a class concept and therefore also includes substituted phenols. 2,2”-biphenol can be used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates.

Structure

Apply^[2-3]

2,2”-biphenol can be used to synthesize pharmaceutical intermediates:

1) Preparation of tris(2,2”-biphenol)bisphosphite. This method uses trialkyl phosphite and 2,2′-biphenol in a molar ratio of 1:1-10:1. As the raw material, aryl-substituted phosphorus chloride or alkyl-substituted phosphorus chloride is used as the catalyst, and bisphosphite tris(2,2”-biphenol) ester is synthesized under solvent-free microwave radiation conditions. The microwave radiation power is 100-1000w. Microwave reaction time is 5-30 minutes. The process of the invention has the characteristics of high bisphosphite yield, less by-products, short reaction time, solvent-free operation, environmental friendliness, no pollution, and simple post-processing.

2) Prepare bisphosphite. In this method, reagent amounts of phosphorus trichloride, 2,2′-biphenol and 3,3′,5,5′-tetratert-butyl-2,2′- Using biphenol as the raw material, dissolve phosphorus trichloride in an organic solvent to form a solution, and then add the solution containing 2,2′-biphenol and the catalyst under stirring. After the addition of the phosphorus trichloride solution is completed, the reaction solution continues to react. Several hours; add a solution of 3,3′,5,5′-tetratert-butyl-2,2′-biphenol and organic base to the above reaction solution. After the addition is completed, the reaction solution continues to stir for several hours, and then Raise the temperature to 80-120°C and reflux for several hours; after the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is cooled to room temperature, filtered, and washed. The filter cake is combined, and the filtrate is evaporated and concentrated to obtain a solid. After washing, the product is obtained. The process of the invention has the characteristics of high yield of bisphosphite, low consumption of phosphorus trichloride, less by-products, short reaction time, and simple post-processing.

Preparation^[1]

The method of 2,2′-biphenol includes the following steps:

a) Add the first phenol to the reaction mixture,

b) Add the second phenol to the reaction mixture,

c) Add selenium dioxide to the reaction mixture,

d) Add an acid with a pKs value in the range of 0.0 to 5.0 into the reaction mixture,

e) Heating the reaction mixture converts the first phenol and the second phenol into 2,2′-biphenol.
