As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 60-56-0 name is 1-Methyl-1H-imidazole-2(3H)-thione, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below. 60-56-0
EXAMPLE 4 1-methyl-2-[3-[(p-isobutyloxycarbonyl)-phenoxy]-2-hydroxy-propylthio]-imidazole hydrochloride The suspension of 5.73 g (50 mmoles) of 1-methyl-2-mercapto-imidazole in absolute ethanol (100 ml) is added with 2,6-lutidine in catalytic amount and there is dropwise added the solution of isobutyl p-(2,3-epoxy)-propyloxybenzoate (12.5 g; 50 mmoles) in absolute ethanol (50 mmoles) at room temperature under stirring.The mixture is heated to reflux for 6 hours. The solvent is evaporated under vacuum, the residue is taken with ethyl acetate and washed with aqueous saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and with water. The mixture is made anhydrous over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to an oil. The lutidine is completely removed by evaporation under vacuum. The product, dissolved in acetone, is treated with an excess of 37% aqueous hydrochloric acid and maintained under stirring until the salification is completed.The mixture is concentrated to dryness under vacuum with subsequent additions of toluene/ethanol, the solid is comminuted with ethyl ether/hexane and is crystallized from a mixture of acetone/ethyl acetate.The product is obtained with a yield of 64% and has melting point 104-108oC.. By repeating the operating method of example 4 the following derivatives are prepared:
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 1-Methyl-1H-imidazole-2(3H)-thione, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
