1003-21-0,Some common heterocyclic compound, 1003-21-0, name is 5-Bromo-1-methyl-1H-imidazole, molecular formula is C4H5BrN2, 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.
To a solution of 5-bromo-1-methyl-1H-imidazole (3.22 g, 19.98 mmol) in DCM (15 mL) was added ethyl magnesium bromide (6.66 mL, 19.98 mmol, 3.0 M in diethyl ether) dropwise over a 10 minute period. The resulting orange-red solution was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes, cooled in an ice bath to 0 C. and N-methoxy-N-methyl-4-nitrobenzamide (3.5 g, 16.65 mmol, Intermediate 7: step a) dissolved in DCM (10 mL) was added dropwise. The ice bath was removed and the solid suspension stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. Water was added followed by 6 M aqueous HCl to a neutral pH (pH=6-7). The aqueous mixture was extracted with DCM, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Et2O was added and the mixture sonicated. The precipitate was collected by filtration and dried to provide the title compound as a tan solid.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 5-Bromo-1-methyl-1H-imidazole, its application will become more common.
