Electric Literature of 71759-89-2, A common heterocyclic compound, 71759-89-2, name is 5-Iodo-1H-imidazole, molecular formula is C3H3IN2, 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.
Intermediate le 5-Iodo- l-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)- lH-imidazole In a 50 mL three-necked flask, 4-iodo-lH-imidazole (0.500 g, 2.58 mmol, Eq: 1.00) was combined under Ar with THF (7 ml) to give a colorless solution. Sodium hydride 55% (337 mg, 7.73 mmol, Eq: 3) was added at 0C (exothermic reaction, temperature rose to 17C). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 30 min. and then cooled down again to 0C, before 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (1.2 g, 5.16 mmol, Eq: 2), dissolved in THF (3 ml), was added. The white suspension was stirred at RT for additional 1.5 hours when TLC indicated that the reaction was complete. Work up: The reaction mixture was poured into 10 mL H20 and extracted with EtOAc (2 x 15 mL). The organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried over Na2S04, and concentrated i. V. Purification : The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 70 g, 0% to 60% EtOAc in heptane) to yield 80 mg of the desired title compound as off-white solid, besides 619 mg of the unwanted 4-iodo-l-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-lH-imidazole. MS (ESI): 276.9 [M+H]+.
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.
