The method comprises the following steps: adding a compound IV into a solvent, stirring the compound IV and the solvent in an ice water bath, adding an initiator into the obtained reaction system, adding a reducing agent into the reaction system in batches, heating the reaction system to 20-80 DEG C, and stirring the reaction system; and extracting the reaction system after the reaction is completed, drying the obtained organic phase, filtering the dried organic phase, and performing rotary drying to obtain a compound V that is the intermediate. The preparation method of the invention has the advantages of simplicity and mild reaction conditions, and can be widely applied to industrial production.

Copper-catalyzed TEMPO oxidative cleavage of 1,3-diketones and β-keto esters for the synthesis of 1,2-diketones and α-keto esters

A copper-catalyzed efficient and practical method has been developed for the synthesis of 1,2-diketones and α-keto esters. TEMPO was used as a radical initiator and scavenger, oxidizing the cleavage of α-methylene of 1,3-diketones and β-keto esters to form 1,2-diketones and α-keto esters. This method provided a general way for the formation of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds.

Highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of cyano-substituted acrylate esters for synthesis of chiral γ-lactams and amino acids

A highly efficient and enantioselective synthesis of γ-lactams and γ-amino acids by Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation has been developed. Using the Rh-(S,S)-f-spiroPhos complex, under mild conditions a wide range of 3-cyano acrylate esters including both E and Z-isomers and β-cyano-α-aryl-α,β-unsaturated ketones were first hydrogenated with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) and high turnover numbers (TON up to 10 000).
