Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 13750-62-4, name is 1-Benzyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazole, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Application In Synthesis of 1-Benzyl-2-methyl-1H-imidazole
General procedure: A solution mixture of the intermediate 3 (818 mg, 1.5 mmol) and 1,2-dimethyl imidazole (173 mg, 1.8 mmol) in acetonitrile (2 mL) was heated at 70 C for 30 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was washed with a mixture solvent (hexane/ethyl acetate = 10:1) and dried in vacuo to give an intermediate 4a, to which HCl solution (3 mL, 4 M in dioxane) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h and the precipitation was filtered and washed with hexane to give the Boc deprotected intermediate, which was used for the next step directly without further characterization. The Boc deprotected intermediate was subsequently neutralized by Na2CO3 (159 mg, 1.5 mmol) in MeOH (2 mL). The mixture was stirred for 5 h and the solvent was removed to dryness. The solid residue was dissolved in dry CH2Cl2 and filtered, and concentrated to give the product 5a as a white solid (550 mg, 68% yield for 2 steps).
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.
