Some common heterocyclic compound, 288-32-4, name is 1H-Imidazole, molecular formula is C3H4N2, 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 1H-Imidazole
Step 1. Synthesis of 4-chloro-1H-imidazole (C33) To a solution of 1H-imidazole (22.1 g, 324 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide at 0 C. was added drop-wise (over 4 hours) a solution of N-chlorosuccinimide (25 g, 190 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (total solvent, 160 mL). The reaction was stirred at 0 C. for 1 hour, whereupon water (200 mL) was added at 0 C. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3*50 mL), and the combined organic layers were concentrated in vacuo. Purification was carried out using supercritical fluid chromatography (Column: Princeton Cyano, 5 mum; Eluant: 15:85 methanol/carbon dioxide). The resulting material was purified again, using silica gel chromatography (Mobile phase A: ethyl acetate; Mobile phase B: [20% (2 M ammonia in methanol) in dichloromethane]; Gradient: 0% to 10% B) to afford the title compound as a white solid. Yield: 2.45 g, 23.9 mmol, 12%. GCMS m/z 102, 104 (M+). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) delta 7.00 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.57 (br s, 1H), 11.3 (v br s, 1H).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 288-32-4, its application will become more common.
