The invention relates to a method for synthesizing a
vinyl sulfone compound. The
vinyl sulfone compound has a chemical molecular formula shown in the description, wherein R1 is one selected from H, a straight-chain
alkyl electron-donating group, a nitro
electron withdrawing group, F, Cl and Br, and R2, R3 and R4 each is selected from H and straight-chain
alkyl. The synthetic method comprises the steps of adding an inorganic base in an
organic reaction solvent by taking an
aryl sulfonyl chloride compound and a
tertiary amine compound as reaction substrates and taking
eosin Y as a catalyst under the action of visible light, carrying out a reaction for 1 to 3 hours at the temperature of -5 DEG C to 5 DEG C under the
irradiation of an LED (light-emitting
diode) lamp, carrying out
water washing treatment, extraction and
drying after the reaction ends, then, carrying out reduced-pressure
distillation to remove the
organic solvent, and then, carrying out thin-layer
chromatography and
column chromatography separation, thereby preparing the
vinyl sulfone compound. Compared with the prior art, the method provided by the invention has the advantages that the steps are simple, the
reaction conditions are mild, the
controllability is good, the consumption of
metal complexes is avoided, the reaction cost is reduced, and the method is
pollution-free to environments.
