Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 51-17-2, name is 1H-Benzo[d]imidazole, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Application In Synthesis of 1H-Benzo[d]imidazole
STEP A: 1-methyl-benzimidazole 14.1 g of methyl iodide and 6.15 g of potassium hydroxide were added to a suspension of 11.8 g of benzimidazole in 50 ml of ethanol and 30 ml of water and the mixture was refluxed for 6 hours and was then cooled. The mixture was extracted three times with chloroform and the combined chloroform extracts were dried and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the oily residue was chromatographed over neutral alumina. Elution with chloroform yielded 1-methyl-benzimidazole as a crude oil which was used as is for the next step.
The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
