Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 30148-21-1, name is Ethyl 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows., category: imidazoles-derivatives

A solution of the methylimidazole (3.2 mL, 40.0 mmol) in 30 mL de CH3CN:Et3N (2:1) was cooled to -30 C and quickly added to a previously prepared solution of ethyl chloroformiate (7 mL, 66.0 mmol) in 10 mL of CH3CN. The mixture was stirred for 15h at rt. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure; the crude was re-dissolved in water (20 mL) and extracted with chloroform (3 × 20 mL). The organic fractions were dried and concentrated, and the resulting residue was purified by flash cromatography (aluminum oxide, 90% MeOH) to give 3.72 g of a crude ester residue which was directly used for the next step. A solution of this residue (1.5 g, 9.74 mmol) in 15 mL of aqueous NaOH (1 M) was refluxed for 1 h. The resulting mixture was acidified to pH 2.0 using HCl 10% (aprox.15 mL) and lyophilized. The crude was dissolved in MeOH and concentrated underreduced pressure to give 12 as a slighlty pink solid (1.2 g, 98%).

Chemical properties determine the actual use. Each compound has specific chemical properties and uses. We look forward to more synthetic routes in the future to expand reaction routes of 30148-21-1.
