A new synthetic route of C4H3N3

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 1H-Imidazole-4-carbonitrile, its application will become more common.

Reference of 57090-88-7,Some common heterocyclic compound, 57090-88-7, name is 1H-Imidazole-4-carbonitrile, molecular formula is C4H3N3, 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.

A solution of 5-fluoro-2-nitro-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (3.2 g, 11.98 mmol), 1 H-imidazole-4-carbonitrile (2.017g, 14.37 mmol) and ethyl-diisopropyl-amine (8.4 ml, 47.9 mmol) in 10 ml of dioxane is heated to reflux for 24 hours. The solution is allowed to cool to room temperature and evaporated. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel using gradients of dichloromethane and methanol to give 0.36 g (1.05 mmol, 8.8percent) of amorphous 5-(4-cyano-imidazol-1-yl)-2-nitro-4-trifluoromethyl-benzoicacid methyl ester, ES-MS: m/z 341 [M+Hf.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 1H-Imidazole-4-carbonitrile, its application will become more common.
