Application of 33543-78-1,Some common heterocyclic compound, 33543-78-1, name is Ethyl 1H-imidazole-2-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.
The ethyl 1-(4-cyanomethyl-1-oxoindan-2yl)imidazole-2-carboxylate can be obtained in the following manner: a solution of 1.8 g of ethyl imidazole-2-carboxylate in 30 ml of acetone is supplemented with 8.6 g of potassium carbonate. This suspension is heated at reflux for 15 minutes and then a solution of 3.22 g of 2-bromo-4-(cyanomethyl)indan-1-one in 30 ml of acetone is added. After stirring for 4 hours at reflux temperature, the reaction medium is brought to a temperature close to 20° C. and filtered on sintered glass. The filtrate is evaporated and 2.7 g of a black solid are obtained. The purification by flash chromatography on a silica column (eluent: dichloromethane-ethyl acetate (50-50 by volume)) of this solid gives 0.62 g of ethyl 1-(4-cyanomethyl-1-oxoindan-2-yl)imidazole-2-carboxylate in the form of a brown solid [mass spectrum m/z 309 (M+), 236 ((M-CO2 Et), +), 141 ((C6 H9 N2)+), 68((C3 H4)+)].
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-2-carboxylate, its application will become more common.
