Synthetic Route of 32673-41-9,Some common heterocyclic compound, 32673-41-9, name is 4-Imidazolemethanol hydrochloride, molecular formula is C4H7ClN2O, 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.
To 0.5 g (3.7 millimoles) of 4-hydroxymethylimidazole hydrochloride was added 3 ml of thionyl chloride and reaction was carried out at 50 C. for 2 hours. The excess of thionyl chloride was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 10 ml of DMF and a solution of 1.1 g (6.3 millimoles) of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline in 5 ml of DMF was added to the above solution at 100 C. Reaction was carried out for 1 hour. DMF was removed from the reaction mixture by distillation under reduced pressure. An aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen-carbonate was added to the residue and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a light-green oil. The oil was purified by the silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent; ethyl acetate) to obtain 0.35 g (the yield was 39%) of 4-[1-(2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolyl)methyl]imidazole in the form of a colorless crystal.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 4-Imidazolemethanol hydrochloride, its application will become more common.
