Ammonia → 2-(dimethoxymethyl)-5-ethyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

The same operation as in Example (36b) was performed using NCS (1.35 g, 10.1 mmol), silver nitrate (2.45 g, 14.4 mmol), 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(2-ethyl-1,3-dithian-2-yl)ethanone obtained in Example (39b) (1.0 g, 4.09 mmol), dimethoxyacetaldehyde (5.76 M aqueous solution, 1.0 mL, 5.76 mmol) and 28% aqueous ammonia (4 mL). The resulting compound was used for the next reaction without purification.
