Electric Literature of 38993-84-9,Some common heterocyclic compound, 38993-84-9, name is (1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanol, molecular formula is C5H8N2O, 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.
Thionyl chloride (3.88mL, 53.5mmol) was added dropwise to 3-methyl-3H-imidazol-4- yl)-methanol (o.3g, 2.68mmol). The reaction was sonicated briefly, treated with DMF (1 drop) and allowed to stir at ambident temperature for 1 h. The volatiles were removed and the residue treated with diethyl ether. The diethyl ether was decanted and the procedure repeated 3 times. The semi-solid residue was treated with dimethylamine in THF (6.69mL, 13.38mmol) followed DMF (1 mL). The reaction was heated in a CEM microwave reactor at 8O0C for 30 minutes, treated with acetic acid (1 ml_) and purified by SCX cartridge to give the title compound (0.18g, 1.22mmol). LC-MS (method 1): R, 2.9 min, m/z 140 [MH]+.
The synthetic route of 38993-84-9 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
