Electric Literature of 615-15-6,Some common heterocyclic compound, 615-15-6, name is 2-Methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, molecular formula is C8H8N2, 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.
General procedure: A 50 mL Schlenk tube equipped with a stirrer bar was charged with KI (16.6 mg, 0.1 mmol), benzotriazole (59.5 mg, 0.5 mmol), DMA (2 mL), and K2S2O8 (270 mg, 1 mmol) under air. The mixture was then stirred at 80 C for 6 h (TLC monitoring), poured into H2O (20 mL), and extracted with EtOAc (3 ×). Then the organic phase was evaporated under vacuum, and the crude product was purified by column chromatography [silica gel, PE-EtOAc (10:1 to 2:1)] to give a colorless oil; yield: 98 mg (96%);
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, its application will become more common.
