Introduction of a new synthetic route about 2-Imidazolecarboxylic acid

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Imidazolecarboxylic acid, its application will become more common.

Electric Literature of 16042-25-4,Some common heterocyclic compound, 16042-25-4, name is 2-Imidazolecarboxylic acid, molecular formula is C4H4N2O2, 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.

To a suspension of 0.351 g of imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (3.13 mmol) in 15 ml DMF were added 0.508 g of CDI (3.13 mmol) and 0.43 ml triethylamine (3.13 mmol), and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 1 h. Then the mixture was refluxed for 30 min. After cooling to ambient temperature, 0.5 g of 2-methoxy-5-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-phenylamine (2.4 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 16 h. The mixture was evaporated and the residue taken up in water (40 ml) and extracted 3 times with methylene chloride. The combined organic phases were tried on sodium carbonate, evaporated and the residue was stirred in hot ethyl acetate. After filtration and trying 0.42 g 1H-Imidazole-2-carboxylic acid [2-methoxy-5-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-phenyl]-amide (57%) were obtained as a yellow solid; M.p.: 227-228 C.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Imidazolecarboxylic acid, its application will become more common.
