  • Patent number: 11795132
    Abstract: Provided is an application of a metal hydride/palladium compound system in the preparation of a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound in a cascade reaction of an electron-deficient alkene compound, said reaction comprising the following steps: under the protection of nitrogen, a palladium compound and a metal hydride are suspended and stirred in a solvent, then an electron-deficient alkene compound is added; the mixture reacts at 0° C. to 100° C. for 0.3 to 10 hours; a saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution is added to stop the reaction, and then extraction, drying by evaporation and purification by column chromatography are performed to obtain the product of 1,3-dicarbonyl compound. The hydride and palladium compound catalysts used in the method are reagents easily obtained in a laboratory; compared with the commonly used methods of hydrogenation with hydrogen gas, the method can be easily operated, and has high safety, mild conditions and high reaction yield.

  • Patent number: 11420925
    Abstract: Disclosed are a reduction method and reduction product of an alkenyl active methylene compound. The reduction reaction comprises the following steps: taking an alkenyl active methylene compound as a substrate, a metal hydride as a reducing agent, and a palladium compound as a catalyst, performing a reduction reaction to obtain a reduction product, and then reducing the alkenyl active methylene compound. The reduction system is a simple method for reducing the alkenyl active methylene compound, and the used hydride and palladium compound catalyst are both reagents that could easily be obtained in a laboratory. Compared with conventional hydrogen hydrogenation methods and reduction methods of reducing agents, the method is easier to operate, higher in safety, mild in conditions, and high in reaction yield, a reaction in a one-pot two-step manner can be achieved, and high atom economy and step economy can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 11180437
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound based on a metal hydride/palladium compound system. The method includes the following steps: suspending a palladium compound and a metal hydride in a solvent under the protection of nitrogen, then adding an electron-deficient olefin compound, reacting same at 0° C.-100° C. for 0.3 to 10 hours, then adding a saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution to stop the reaction, and then subjecting same to extraction, evaporation until dryness, and column chromatography purification to obtain the 1,3-dicarbonyl compound. The hydride and palladium compound catalysts used by the present invention are reagents easily obtained in a laboratory. Compared to a common hydrogen hydrogenation method, the method is easier to operate, and has a higher safety, mild conditions, and a high reaction yield.
