Reference of 312-73-2,Some common heterocyclic compound, 312-73-2, name is 2-(Trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, molecular formula is C8H5F3N2, traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route.
G. Synthesis of Compounds 46 and 47A stirred mixture of 2-Trifluoromethyl-I H-benzoimidazole (4.92g, 26.4 mmol), 4-fluorobenaldehyde (3.1 mL, 29.1 mmol), and K2CO3 (4.37g, 31.7 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was heated to 150 0C for 16 h. After being cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was partitioned between H2O and EtOAC. After usual workup, the crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (20% Hexane/EtOAc to 30% Hexane/EtOAc) to afford a yellow oil which was subjected to a second silica gel chromatography (DMC) to provide the aldehyde intermediate 4-(2-Trifluoromethyl-benzoimidazol-1-yl)- benzaldehyde as a white solid (4.0 g).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-(Trifluoromethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, its application will become more common.
