These common heterocyclic compound, 1632-83-3, name is 1-Methylbenzimidazole, 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. Application In Synthesis of 1-Methylbenzimidazole
General procedure: 4.3 General procedure for CuO-catalyzed arylation and alkenylation of 1,3-azole (0012) Under argon, 0.5mmol of the bromobenzene or bromoalkene was added to the reaction mixture containing 0.25mmol of the benzoxazole, 0.5mmol K2CO3, 0.025mmol CuO, and 0.075mmol PPh3, followed by the addition of 2mL dry diglyme. The sealed reaction tube was stirred at 160C for 5-24h. After cooling, the reaction mixture was centrifuged to remove solid and separated the organic phase. Then, organic phase was extracted and dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure after filtered. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluted to afford corresponding product.
The synthetic route of 1-Methylbenzimidazole has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
