Some common heterocyclic compound, 178388-79-9, name is 3-(1H-Imidazol-2-yl)propanoic acid, molecular formula is C6H8N2O2, 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. Computed Properties of C6H8N2O2
4.2.1 Methyl 3-(1H-imidazol-2-yl) propanoate To a round bottom flask charged with 143 mL of methanol was added 1 g (g) (1 equiv, 7.15 mmol) of 3-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)propanoic acid (Astatech Inc.). This solution was cooled to 0 C, then 5.2 mL (10 equiv, 71.5 mmol) of thionyl chloride was added and the reaction stirred for 5 h. Upon completion, the reaction was reduced, diluted with dichloromethane, and washed three times with 0.1 M K2CO3. The organic portions were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and reduced to afford the HCl salt of methyl 3-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)propanoate as a white powder in quantitative yield (1.35 g, 99%). deltaH (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) 2.98 (s, 2H, CH2CH2Im), 3.16 (s, 2H, CH2CH2Im), 3.59 (s, 3H, CH3), 7.52 (s, 2H, Im), 14.58 (s, 1H, NH); deltaC (125 MHz, DMSO-d6) 20.44, 29.98, 51.45, 118.20, 145.76, 171.31; HRMS (ES+) calcd for [C7H10N2O2+H] 155.08205, found 155.08202.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 178388-79-9, its application will become more common.
