Reference of 84946-20-3, These common heterocyclic compound, 84946-20-3, name is 2-Chloro-1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, its 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 42 To a 25 mL 3-neck flask equipped with a thermometer, reflux consenser and stir bar were added, under a nitrogen atmosphere, 885.6 mg (4.8 mmol) of Compound XXII, obtained according to the procedure of Example 41, and 0.93 mL (8.0 mmol) of lutidine. The mixture was heated to 120 C., whereupon a solution of 1.04 g (4 mmol., 1 eq.) of Compound X (Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis.), 8 mmol of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (obtained from its 1.0M THF solution by distillation under vacuum with anhydrous toluene) and 4 mL of N-methylpyrrolidinone was added slowly over 2 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 120 C. for 1 h. High-performance liquid chromatography revealed >95% coversion to Compound XXIII. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature, and slowly poured into a solution of 5% aqueous NaOH while stirring. The resulting suspension was allowed to stir at 0-10 C. for 30 minutes, and the resulting solid product was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with water (3*5 mL), and air dried for 30 minutes under vacuum to afford crude Compound XXIII: 1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) delta7.52 (1H, d, J=7.8 Hz), 7.20-7.00 (7H, m, two groups), 5.13 (2H, s), 4.40 (1H, NH br. d), 4.32 (2H, pseudo d), 4.20 (1H, m), 3.00 (2H, pseudo t), 2.15 (2H, pseudo d), 1.30 (2H, m overlapped), 1.26 (9H, s); 13 C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) delta176.3, 164.2 and 161.0 (13 C-19 F coupling), 153.3, 142.4, 134.6, 131.4, 128.4, 121.7, 120.0, 116.6, 116.4, 116.1, 107.5, 50.5, 45.1, 44.2, 38.9, 33.1, 28.6. It is to be noted that under the same reaction conditions as above, but without the use of tetrabutylammonium fluoride, only 3.5% conversion (high-performance liquid chromatography) to Compound XXIII was achieved after 3 h at 120 C. The Compound XXIII obtained above was placed in a 50 mL, 3-neck flask equipped with a thermometer, reflux condenser and stir bar. 5 mL of 48% hydrobromic acid was added, and the resulting mixture was heated to 110 C. and allowed to stir at that temperature for 2 h. After the reaction was complete (>98% conversion to norastemizole as shown by high-performance liquid chromatography), the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, and 10 mL of toluene and 10 mL of water were added, with stirring.
The synthetic route of 84946-20-3 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
