A new synthetic route of 1080-79-1

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 1080-79-1.

1080-79-1, These common heterocyclic compound, 1080-79-1, name is Diethyl 1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate, 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.

A. N-o-Nitrophenylimidazole 4,5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester To a solution of o-fluoronitrobenzene (106 g) and imidazole 4,5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester (106 g) in one liter of N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) was added anhydrous potassium carbonate (200 g). The reaction mixture was stirred vigorously for at least four hours. After removal of solvent under oil pump vacuum, the residue was treated with water, then extracted with chloroform (300 ml*3). The combined chloroform extracts were washed with water, dried by magnesium sulfate, then concentrated under vacuum to an oil. Upon treatment with ether, the oil was solidified and the product was obtained as a white solid (136 g, 81% yield). Recrystallized from chloroform-hexane, m.p. 93-95 C.
