Preparation method of alpha-hydroxyketone photoinitiator

The invention provides a preparation method of an alpha-hydroxyketone photoinitiator. The preparation method comprises the steps of taking a ketone compound and a trihalomethyl-substituted benzene anda derivative thereof as raw materials, enabling the raw materials to react under the action of a polar solvent and a metal catalyst to form a halogenated intermediate in one step, and hydrolyzing theobtained product under the action of an alkali metal hydroxide aqueous solution and a phase transfer catalyst to obtain the alpha-hydroxyketone photoinitiator. The operation is simple, the reaction step is short, no Lewis acid catalyst is used in the reaction, the pollution is small, the catalyst can be recycled, by-products are less, the cost is low, and a variety of products can be produced bythe same method.

Α - hydroxy ketone compound low priced high-efficient synthetic method

The invention discloses a cheap and efficient synthesis method of an alpha-hydroxyketone compound. The synthesis method is characterized in that a carbonyl compound undergoes an oxidation hydroxylation reaction at 10-120DEG C under normal pressure with iodine simple substance, N-bromosuccimide, copper bromide, bromine simple substance, hydrogen bromide, N-iodosuccimide or hydrogen iodide as a catalyst, sulfoxide as an oxidant, water or sulfoxide as a hydroxy source and sulfoxide, ethyl acetate, N,N-dimethyl formamide, acetonitrile, toluene, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dichloroethane, tetrahydrofuran or H2O as a solvent, and converts into the alpha-hydroxyketone compound in a high selectivity manner. Compared with traditional synthesis methods, the method disclosed in the invention has the advantages of simple operation, high yield, simple conditions, easy purification, small waste discharge amount, simple reaction apparatus, and easy industrial production. The method has wide applicability and can be used for synthesizing various alpha-hydroxyketone compounds.

I2- or NBS-catalyzed highly efficient α-hydroxylation of ketones with dimethyl sulfoxide

An efficient method for the direct preparation of high synthetic valuable α-hydroxycarbonyls is described. The simple and readily available I2 or NBS was used as catalyst. DMSO acts as the oxidant, oxygen source, and solvent. A diverse range of tertiary Csp3-H bonds as well as more challenging secondary Csp3-H bonds could be hydroxylated in this transformation. The reaction is mild, less toxic and easy to perform.
