Reference of 1457-58-5,Some common heterocyclic compound, 1457-58-5, name is 2-Methyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid, molecular formula is C5H6N2O2, 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.
Scheme 96. The imidazole-acid (2 g, 12.3 mmol) was taken up in 4 M HCI in dioxane (10 mL) and EtOH (120 mL) and heated at 90 0C for 18 h. The solution was concentrated. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc and sat. NaHCO3 (aq.). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). The solution was filtered which provided 1.2 g (63 %) of the imidazole-ester as a white solid.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Methyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid, its application will become more common.
