Reaktionsschritte

Under a nitrogen atmosphere a stirred solution of 4-amino-1H-imidazole-5-carbonitrile (1.1 g, 0.01 mole) and 3-fluorobenzoyl chloride (1.8 g, 0.011 mole) in 25 ml of dry pyridine was heated at reflux for one hour. The reaction mixture was cooled and the pyridine removed under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and water. The residual solid was collected by filtration and washed sequentially with two portions of water, diethyl ether, and ethyl acetate. The solid was dried under reduced pressure; mp, 222°-240°. The solid was dissolved in ethanol and precipitated with petroleum ether, then collected by filtration and washed with diethyl ether to give after drying N-(5-cyano-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-3-fluorobenzamide (2.0 g; mp, 242°-46°).
