Application of 822-36-6,Some common heterocyclic compound, 822-36-6, name is 4-Methyl-1H-imidazole, molecular formula is C4H6N2, 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.
4-Fluoro-3-methoxybenzonitrile (98.2 g, 0.65 mol) was combined with 4-methyl-1 /-/- imidazole (53.4 g, 0.65 mol) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (138.2 g, 1 mol, 1.54 eq) in dimethylformamide (650 ml_), and the reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hours at 135-140 0C (internal temperature). The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered; the salts were washed with dichloromethane (3 x 30 ml_). The combined filtrates were evaporated in vacuo to afford a brown semisolid, which was suspended in water (500 ml_) and left to stand at 5 0C for 24 hours. The mixture was filtered, and the solid was washed with ice water (2 x 50 ml_), then dried in vacuo to afford a yellow solid (105.5 g). Crystallization from methanol (106 ml_) provided purified product (66.3 g) as yellowish crystals. These were boiled with acetone (100 ml_) for 5 minutes and the mixture was left to cool overnight. The mixture was filtered, and the crystals were washed with acetone (2 x 10 ml_) to afford the title compound as a white solid. Yield: 54.6 g, 0.256 mmol, 39%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCI3) delta 2.31 (d, J=1.0 Hz, 3H), 3.94 (s, 3H), 6.97 (m, 1 H), 7.30 (m, 1 H), 7.37 (m, 2H), 7.79 (d, J=1.4 Hz, 1 H).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 4-Methyl-1H-imidazole, its application will become more common.
