Extended knowledge of 616-47-7

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.

Synthetic Route of 616-47-7, A common heterocyclic compound, 616-47-7, name is 1-Methyl-1H-imidazole, molecular formula is C4H6N2, its 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.

Triethyl amine (5OmL) is added to a solution of methyl imidazol (16.3g, 199mmol) in acetonitrile (10OmL), then it is cooled to -300C. A solution of ethyl chloroformate (3ImL, 328mmol) in acetonitrile (5OmL) is added slowly keeping the temperature bellow 100C. The reaction mixture is concentrated and diluted in water and extracted with chloroform, dried with MgSO4 anh, filtered and evaporated. Recrystallisation from ether yields l-Methyl-lH-imidazole-2- carboxylic acid ethyl ester as an orange oil (15.5g, 51%).

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.
