Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 33468-67-6, name is 2-Methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazole, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., category: imidazoles-derivatives
a) A mixture of potassium carbonate (832 mg, 6.02 mmol), 2-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazole (450 mg, 3.00 mmol) and ethyl 2-bromopropanoate (0.43 mL, 3.3 mmol) in dimethylformamide:tetrahydrofuran (2 mL:4 mL) was heated at 50 C. for 7 h with stirring and then at room temperature overnight. Most of the tetrahydrofuran was removed by gently blowing nitrogen over the reaction mixture. Ethyl acetate and water were then added and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted twice more with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 17-50% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford the desired product (697 mg, 2.79 mmol, 93%).
The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
