Discovery of C5H7BrN2

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 5-Bromo-1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

Electric Literature of 24134-09-6, As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 24134-09-6 name is 5-Bromo-1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below.

A solution of n-BuLi (4.0 mL, 10 mmol, 2.5 M solution in hexane) was slowly added to a solution of 5-bromo-1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole (1.77 g, 10.2 mmol) in THF (70 mL) at -78 C. After addition, stirring was continued for an additional 30 minutes and N-methoxy-N-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carboxamide (1.76 g, 10.1 mmol, Intermediate 1: step a, Procedure A) dissolved in THF (25 mL) was slowly added. An additional 6 mL of THF was used to complete the quantitative addition. The mixture was stirred at -78 C. for 5 minutes then warmed to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. The solution was quenched with water and layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM and the combined organic extracts washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified using flash column chromatography (0 to 6% MeOH/DCM) to provide the title compound.
