Adding a certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 51605-32-4, name is Ethyl 5-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate, belongs to imidazoles-derivatives compound, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 51605-32-4, HPLC of Formula: C7H10N2O2
[2757] To a stirred solution of 964 (Ethyl 4-methyl-5-imidazole carboxylate, 7.7 g, 50 mmol) in 100 ml of acetone at room temperature, was added K2CO3 (6.9 g, 50 mmol) portionwise. Stirred at room temperature for 25 minutes, added in MeI (5 ml, 80 mmol) stirred for 21/2 h, (monitored reaction by TLC). Additional K2CO3 (3.09 g, 22 mmol) and MeI (3 ml) were added. Stirred reaction for 16 h, then filtered reaction mixture and rinsed with acetone (80 ml). A clear filtrate obtained. Filtrate was evaporated and the residue was chromatographed (eluent methylene chloride/methanol (60:1) to afford 1.8 g of solid. This solid was purified by Prep Plate chromatography ((20:1) CH2Cl2:MeOH NH3), compound still impure. Another column chromatography ((50:1) CH2Cl2:MeOH.NH3) was done to afford 383 mg of the desired product, compound 965.
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, Ethyl 5-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
