These common heterocyclic compound, 16042-25-4, name is 2-Imidazolecarboxylic acid, 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. 16042-25-4
To a suspension of 0.31 g of imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (2.76 mmol) in 14 ml DMF was added 0.448 g of CDI (2.76 mmol), 0.38 ml triethylamine (2.76 mmol) and stirred at ambient temperature for 1 h. Then the mixture was refluxed for 30 min. After cooling to ambient temperature, 0.5 g of 5-phenyl-o-anisidine (2.5 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 16 h. The mixture was evaporated and the residue taken up in water (40 ml) and extracted 3 times with methylene chloride. The combined organic phases were tried on sodium carbonate, evaporated and the residue was stirred in hot ethyl acetate. After filtration and drying, 0.11 g 1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (4-methoxy-biphenyl-3-yl)-amide (14%) were obtained as a light yellow solid; M.p.: 276 C. 0.1 g of 1H-Imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (4-methoxy-biphenyl-3-yl)-amide (0.36 mmol) was taken up in toluene (5.0 ml) and treated with 0.435 g of Lawesson reagent (1.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 16 h. After cooling to ambient temperature, water (25 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted 3 times with dichloro methane. The combined organic phases were dried on sodium carbonate, evaporated and the residue triturated in methanol. 0.08 g of 1H-imidazole-2-carbothioic acid (4-methoxy-biphenyl-3-yl)-amide (73%) were obtained as a yellow solid; M.p.: 223-226 C. [0204] 0.049 g of 1H-Imidazole-2-carbothioic acid (4-methoxy-biphenyl-3-yl)-amide (0.16 mmol) was taken up in chloroform and treated with 8.1 mul of Br2 (0.16 mmol) for 4 h at reflux. Then the reaction was quenched with sodium thiosulfate (38%) and extracted with chloroform. The combined organic phases were dried on sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was subjected to column chromatography (silica gel, methylene chloride/methanol 40:1) to yield 0.016 g of 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-4-methoxy-7-phenyl-benzothiazole (33%) as a colorless solid; M.p.: 205-206 C.
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 16042-25-4.
