Some common heterocyclic compound, 32673-41-9, name is 4-Imidazolemethanol hydrochloride, molecular formula is C4H7ClN2O, 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. category: imidazoles-derivatives
Step A Preparation of 1-triphenylmethyl-4-(hydroxymethyl) imidazole To a solution of 4-(hydroxymethyl)imidazole hydrochloride (35.0 g, 260 mmol) in 250 ml, of dry DMF at room temperature was added triethylamine (90.6 mL, 650 mmol). A white solid precipitated from the solution. Chlorotriphenylmethane (76.1 g, 273 mmol) in 500 mL of DMF was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 hours, poured over ice, filtered, and washed with ice water. The resulting product was slurried with cold dioxane, filtered, and dried in vacuo to provide the titled product as a white solid which was sufficiently pure for use in the next step.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 32673-41-9, its application will become more common.
