A high yield, four step synthesis process is disclosed for producing the omer, 2,3-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene, wherein in step 1 acetophenone pinacol is produced from the dimerization of acetophenone in 96% yield; in step 2 acetophenone pinacol is reacted with triethoxymethane and benzoic acid to produce 2,3-diphenyl-2-butene in about 88-96% yield. The 2,3-diphenyl-2-butene and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) are reacted together in step 3 in an ultra violet reactor and in a CCl.sub.4 reaction solvent to produce in about 92% yield, the dibromo compound, 1,4-dibromo-2,3-diphenyl-2-butene. In step 4, 1,4-dibromo-2,3-diphenyl-2-butene is converted to the desired monomer in about 86% yield by reacting with NaI under refluxing conditions for about 90 minutes in a hot acetone solution. The monomer 2,3-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene is recovered in hexane, shaken (in the order listed) with water solutions of NaHSO.sub.3, NaHCO.sub.3, and pure water, dried over CaCl.sub.2, and the hexane is spun off. The residue is then recrystallized from hot methyl alcohol by the addition of water. The crystals which are air dried should be refrigerated as soon as possible to prevent spontaneous polymerization.
本发明揭示了一种高产量的四步合成过程,用于生产2,3-二苯基-1,3-丁二烯,其中在第一步中,通过苯乙酮的二聚反应,以96%的收率产生苯乙酮皮纳科尔;在第二步中,苯乙酮皮纳科尔与三乙氧甲烷和苯甲酸反应,以约88-96%的收率产生2,3-二苯基-2-丁烯。在第三步中,2,3-二苯基-2-丁烯和N-溴代琥珀酰亚胺(NBS)在紫外反应器和CCl.sub.4反应溶剂中反应,以约92%的收率产生二溴化合物1,4-二溴-2,3-二苯基-2-丁烯。在第四步中,通过在热丙酮溶液中回流约90分钟,与NaI反应,以约86%的收率将1,4-二溴-2,3-二苯基-2-丁烯转化为所需的单体。单体2,3-二苯基-1,3-丁二烯在己烷中回收,按照顺序与NaHSO.sub.3、NaHCO.sub.3和纯水的水溶液混合,经CaCl.sub.2干燥,然后离心去除己烷。残渣随后通过加水在热甲醇中重结晶。晶体应尽快冷藏以防止自发聚合。
