Some tips on 1H-Imidazole-4-carbonitrile

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.

Electric Literature of 57090-88-7, A common heterocyclic compound, 57090-88-7, name is 1H-Imidazole-4-carbonitrile, molecular formula is C4H3N3, its 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.

General procedure: A solution of 4-cyano-1H-imidazole (1000 mg, 10.74 mmol), 4-iodo -2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (3800 mg,14 mmol), (1R,2R)-N1,N2-dimethyl cyclohexane -1,2-diamine (150 mg, 1.07 mmol), CuI (200 mg, 1.07 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (7000 mg, 21.5 mmol) in 20 mL anhydrous DMF was stirred at 100 oC for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into 200 mL water. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (80 mL*3). The organic layer were combined, washed by brine, dried by Na2SO4 and evaporated. The crude product was purified by silica flash column to afford compound 2 as white solid(1.5 g, 59percent yield).

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.
