Kaboudin, Babak published the artcileA novel and facile route for the synthesis of medetomidine as the α2-adrenoceptor agonist, HPLC of Formula: 1021949-47-2, the publication is Journal of the Iranian Chemical Society (2017), 14(8), 1735-1739, database is CAplus.
Herein, a novel and facile method for the synthesis of (+/-)-4(5)-[1-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)ethyl]-1H-imidazole (medetomidine) in a good yield in five steps is reported. The method involves Wittig olefination of the phenylimidazolylketone, followed by a hydrogenation. The Wittig alkenylation reaction provides a convenient step for the synthesis of medetomidine without requiring methylation and dehydration steps, which are problematic processes in the previous methods.
