Electric Literature of 41716-18-1,Some common heterocyclic compound, 41716-18-1, name is 1-Methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid, molecular formula is C5H6N2O2, 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.
General procedure: To a solution of 1-methyl-1Himidazole-4-carboxylic acid (0.50 g, 4.0 mmol), 1-hydroxybenztriazole monohydrate (0.74 g, 4.8 mmol), and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.92 g, 4.8 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was added a solution of 3-(trifluoromethoxy) benzylamine 8(0.84 g, 4.4 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and saturated aqueous NaHCO3solution was added to the residue. After extraction with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified using silica gel column chromatography (0?10percent MeOH in CHCl3) to obtain 9(1.18 g, 98percent) as a colorless powder
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 1-Methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid, its application will become more common.
