The invention discloses a visible light catalysis synthesis method of aryl cyanide. The method comprises the following steps: putting aryl halide, potassium ferrocyanide and alkali in an organic solvent; in the condition of magnetic stirring, starting a visible light source with power of 100-500W; irradiating with light intensity of 0.2-0.8W/cm<2> until the reaction is over while controlling the reaction temperature at 25-85 DEG C; and carrying out a catalytic reaction for 1-12h by using a nano precious metal supported photocatalyst to synthesize the aryl cyanide. The photocatalysis cyaniding process can be shown by a general formula (I), wherein the X group is Br or I; and the R group is selected from electron attracting groups such as nitryl, acetyl and carboxyl and electron donating groups such as methoxy and methyl. In the invention, nontoxic green potassium ferrocyanide is used as a cyanogen source for synthesizing aryl cyanide, the highly toxic cyanides widely used in original methods are replaced, and thus the problem of environmental pollution in the aryl cyanide synthesis is reduced. The photocatalysis cyaniding reaction has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, stability and high efficiency, simplicity in operation, environmental friendliness, high product conversion rate and good selectivity. |
