Electric Literature of 641571-11-1, As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 641571-11-1 name is 3-(4-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below.
A three-necked 250 mL round bottom flask equipped with thermometer, condenser, and stir bar, was charged with toluene (75 mL), ethyl 4-methyl-3-[[4-(3-pyridinyl)-2-pyrimidinyl]amino]benzoate (3 g, 9.0 mmol, 1 eq.), and 5-(4-methyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzenamine (2.82 g, 11.7 mmol, 1.3 eq.). The suspension was warmed up and 6.8 mL AlMe3 (2 M in toluene, 13.8 mmol, 1.5 eq.) was added. The entire mixture was then being refluxed for 5 hrs until the ester disappeared and the process was monitored by an HPLC. After the mixture was cooled down, excess trimethyl aluminum was quenched with aqueous sodium hydroxide. The product was isolated by filtration and dried under vacuum affording 4.32 g (91%) nilotinib with 99.3% purity (HPLC). Results of other examples with different ratio of starting material are listed in the Table 2.
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 3-(4-Methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
