Nitromethane → 1H-benzimidazol-1-ol 3-oxide

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a mixture containing nitromethane (7.4 g., 0.12 moles), benzofuroxan 13.6 g., 0.10 moles) and tetrahydrofuran (50 ml.) is slowly added dimethylpyrimidine (11.3 g.) dropwise. The heat of reaction causes the reaction temperature to rise sharply; therefore, an ice-bath is used to maintain a steady rate of reflux. Upon completion of addition, the resulting mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature whereupon the solid product which precipitates is filtered, washed with water, dried and recrystallized from a MeOH/NaOCH3 mixture which is subsequently acidified. The crystalline product has an M.P. 213° C. dec.
