本文对蒽醌的α和β位进行结构编辑,设计合成了7种新型蒽醌光敏剂,并发现在甲基的光氧化反应中具有优异光催化性能。研究结果表明,在蒽醌母体β位点上引入强吸电子的三氟甲基取代基得到的2-三氟甲基蒽醌(PC6),表现出最好的光氧化性能和选择性,光催化速率是蒽醌的近30倍,并具有良好底物普适性,对大部分缺电子取代基和富电子取代基的芳杂环甲基衍生物实现良好以上的反应收率。通过紫外-可见吸收光谱、荧光光谱、循环伏安及密度泛函理论(DFT)计算发现PC6的荧光量子产率达到蒽醌的2.5倍,是其光催化效率提升的主要原因。该反应体系具有简单高效、条件温和和官能团耐受性好的优点,为后续的C(sp3)-H 活化反应提供了高效催化剂和有效的光催化方法。

In this study, seven anthraquinone-based photosensitizers were synthesized via structural modification at the α- and β-positions of the anthraquinone core. These compounds exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance in the photooxidation of methyl groups. Specifically, 2-trifluoromethylanthraquinone (PC6) was identified as the most active and selective catalyst, with a photocatalytic rate nearly 30-fold higher than that of unmodified anthraquinone. Moreover, PC6 showed good substrate generality, affording favorable to excellent yields for most electron-deficient and electron-rich heteroaromatic methyl derivatives. Systematic characterizations, including UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, were conducted to elucidate the catalytic mechanism. The results revealed that the enhanced catalytic performance of PC6 is primarily attributed to its higher fluorescence quantum yield, which is 2.5 times that of anthraquinone. This photocatalytic system features simplicity, high efficiency, mild reaction conditions, and excellent functional group tolerance. Thus, it provides an efficient catalyst and a practical strategy for C(sp³)-H activation reactions.
