Electric Literature of 23785-21-9,Some common heterocyclic compound, 23785-21-9, name is Ethyl 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate, 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.
Preparation of intermediate II-30; LiHMDS was added to a -10C solution of ethyl imidazole-4-carboxylate in DMF. After 15 min, o-diphenylphosphinylhydroxylamine (CAS: 72804-96-7) was added in one portion and the mixture was stirred at rt for 6 h. The reaction was quenched with water (an exothermic reaction occcurs) until a clear solution is obtained. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in water and it was extracted with DCM (x3). Combined organic layers were dried and evaporated. The residue was purified on silica gel (biotage, DCM/MeOH 0 to 10% MeOH) to obtain: 356 mg of desired product, intermediate II-30. Yield 65%.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route Ethyl 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate, its application will become more common.
