Disclosed is a method for preparing β-carbonyl sulfones. The method comprises: by taking an α-carbonyl diazo compound and sodium arylsulfinate as reaction substrates, cheap silver nitrate as an optimal catalyst, 1,10-phenanthroline as a ligand, and potassium persulfate as an oxidant, carrying out coupling reaction in a mixed solvent of acetonitrile and water to obtain a β-carbonyl sulfones compound. Compared with the prior art, the method has the following advantages: a wide range of reaction substrates, short reaction time, a relatively high reaction yield, a mild reaction condition, etc. In the present invention, non-toxic and harmless reagents are used as reaction raw materials, so that it has no harm to the environment and satisfies the requirements of contemporary green chemistry development. Post-reaction treatment is relatively simple, and is convenient for separation and purification. In addition, the reaction can achieve gram-scale synthesis, and lays a foundation for actual applications.

Method for preparing carbonyl sulfone

The present invention discloses a method for preparing a perfluoroalkyl sulfinate ester. The method includes reacting an &#x3b1;-carbonyldiazo compound and a sodium perfluoroalkyl sulfinate, in an organic solvent, in the presence of anhydrous copper acetate as an optimal catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as a green oxidant, to obtain the perfluoroalkyl sulfinate ester. Compared to the prior art, the present method has the advantages of a wide range of reaction substrates, a short reaction time, a high reaction yield, and mild reaction conditions. The reaction does not require pre-activation of sodium perfluoroalkyl sulfinate, which can participate in the reaction directly, making reaction operations simple. The present method uses TBHP as a green oxidant and produces tert-butanol and water after reaction. Moreover, the present method avoids using a bromide or a chloride as a reaction material, and thus avoids formation of a large amount of a halide salt.
