Some common heterocyclic compound, 3034-50-2, name is Imidazole-4-carbaldehyde, molecular formula is C4H4N2O, 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 Imidazole-4-carbaldehyde
12.0 g (124 mmol) 4-formyl-imidazole are placed together with 750 mg Raney nickel in 1000 ml of methanolic ammonia solution and shaken at 40 C. for 30 min. Then the mixture is hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus under a hydrogen atmosphere at 5 bars pressure at 40 C. for 14 h. Another 750 mg Raney nickel are then added and the mixture is again hydrogenated at 50 C. under a hydrogen atmosphere at 5 bars pressure for 14 h. The mixture is filtered, evaporated down i. vac., and in each case methanol, toluene and ethanol are added to the residue and it is again evaporated down completely i. vac. The residue is combined with ethereal hydrochloric acid in methanol and evaporated down completely i. vac. The residue is in each case combined with methanol and dichloromethane and evaporated down completely i. vac.Yield: 21.2 g (quant.)Rt value: 0.49 min (D)C4H7N3*2 HCl (170.04/97.12)Mass spectrum: (M+H)+=98
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 3034-50-2, its application will become more common.
