In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 33543-78-1, name is Ethyl 1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate belongs to imidazoles-derivatives compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. Safety of Ethyl 1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate
Ethyl 1-amino-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate To a stirred suspension of ammonium chloride (228 g, 4.28 mol) in MTBE (2.4 L), aq. NH3 (1.2 L) was added at -20 C., prior to the addition of 11-14% sodium hypochlorite (3.5 L, 4.79 mol) at the same temperature over a period of 30 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 h, after which the MTBE layer was separated and washed with brine solution. MTBE layer was dried over Na2SO4 and kept in the refrigerator and used immediately. In an another flask NaH (20 g, 513.9 mmol) was suspended in DMF (600 mL) at -10 C., to which a solution of ethyl 1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate (60 g, 428.2 mmol) in DMF (150 mL) was added slowly. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 h and cooled to -20 C., prior to the drop-wise addition of the chloramine solution in MTBE. The reaction was stirred at -10 C. for 1 h and at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was cooled to 0 C. and quenched with 1 L of 10% Na2S2O3 solution. Organic layer was separated; and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layer was washed with brine (500 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to get crude ethyl 1-amino-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate as a solution in DMF, which was used in the next step as such. A small portion of the solution was dried in vacuo to remove DMF and the product was characterized by 1H-NMR and LC-MS. ES+, m/z 156.3 [M+1].
The synthetic route of 33543-78-1 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
