Sources of common compounds: 2-Chloro-1-methyl-1H-imidazole

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.

Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 253453-91-7, name is 2-Chloro-1-methyl-1H-imidazole, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., category: imidazoles-derivatives

General procedure: To a solution of 2-disubstituted 1-methyl-1H-imidazole 1 (1 mmol) in DMF (5 mL), NBS(169 mg, 0,95 mmol) was added and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred in the dark at room temperature for 3h. Then, Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (14 mg, 0.02 mmol, 2 mol%), CuI (8 mg, 0.04mmol, 4 mol%), an alkyne 3 (1,1 mmol) and piperidine (300 muL, 255 mg, 3 mmol) were added and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 80C (when trimethylsilylacetylene was employed as the alkyne, the reaction was carried out at 50C) for 3 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (100 mL), then saturated aqueous NH4Cl (100 mL) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and extracted with EtOAc (3x 25mL). The organic extracts were washed with water (3 x 25 mL) and brine (1 x 25 mL), driedover anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatogaraphy on silica gel. This procedure was employed to prepare compounds 4a-l. GLC analysis showed that all these compounds had chemical purity higherthan 98%.

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
