Related Products of 670-83-7,Some common heterocyclic compound, 670-83-7, name is 2,5-Diphenyl-1H-imidazole, molecular formula is C15H12N2, 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.
EXAMPLE 3 2,5-diphenyl-4-hydroxymethyl-imidazole hydrochloride 5 g (0.0227 mole) of 2,4-diphenyl-imidazole, 0.85 g (0.0283 mole) of paraformaldehyde and 0.1 g of finely ground potassium hydroxide are dissolved in 29 ml of warm methanol and heated under reflux for 90 hours. The solution is then decolourized with activated carbon, filtered and dried. Water and chloroform are added to the residue by stirring; the insoluble solid of both the layers is filtered, washed with water and chloroform and dried. 2.8 g (yield 49.3%) of crude product is thus obtained, which is crystallized from methanol to afford 1.1 g of 2,5-diphenyl-4-hydroxymethyl-imidazole, m.p. 206-207 C. (dec.) By the usual techniques the hydrochloride has been obtained, m.p. about 220 C. (dec.).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2,5-Diphenyl-1H-imidazole, its application will become more common.
