Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 288-32-4

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 288-32-4, its application will become more common.

Some common heterocyclic compound, 288-32-4, name is 1H-Imidazole, molecular formula is C3H4N2, 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. Safety of 1H-Imidazole

General procedure: Iodobenzene (1.0 mmol), imidazole (1.5 mmol), TEPA (2.0 mmol), TBAB (0.3 mmol), CuI (0.1 mmol), and 3 mL H2O were added to a 10 mL flask, which was subsequently capped with a rubber balloon. The mixture was stirred in a preheated oil bath at 125 C for 12 h. After cooling the mixture to the room temperature, 5 mL water was added and the product was extracted by ethyl acetate (10 mL¡Á3). The combined organic layer was washed by brine (15 mL), dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and evaporated under the reduced pressure. Further purification by silica gel column chromatography (6:1 petroleum ether/ethyl acetate) give the 1-phenyl-1H-imidazole.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 288-32-4, its application will become more common.
