The invention discloses a preparation method of
oxalate. The preparation method comprises the following steps of using a
diazo compound and alpha-Br
ketone compound as reaction primers, using O2 (
oxygen) as an
oxygen source and an oxidant, using visible light as an
energy source, using
organic dye as a photocatalyst, and performing the free radical process in an
organic solvent, so as to obtain the
oxalate. The preparation method has the advantages that the reaction is more green, environment-friendly and economic; the generality of the primer is broad, the later functionalization is easier, the
reaction conditions are moderate, and the reaction can be performed in air; the usage amount of the photocatalyst is small, and the post-treatment is simple and convenient; the used raw materials of reaction matter, photocatalyst and the like are low in prices and are easy to obtain, the reaction composition is reasonable, the ligand is not required, the
atom economy is high, and the number ofreaction steps is fewer; the higher
yield rate can be obtained by one-step reaction, the current green chemical and sustained development requirements and orientation are met, and the preparation method is suitable for synthesizing the asymmetric substituted
oxalate which is difficult to synthesize by the traditional method.
