실험 절차

1.76 Grams (13.2 mmol) of the N-chlorosuccinimide was added little by little to a solution consisting of 2.06 g (13.2 mmol) of an ethyl-4,5-bis(hydroxymethyl) imidazole, 100 ml of ethanol and 40 ml of 1,4-dioxane maintained at room temperature with stirring over a period of about 11 minutes. The mixture was then stirred at the same temperature for three hours and for another 30 minutes at a temperature of 50° C. After the reaction, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the resulting yellowish oily product was subjected to the column chromatography (silica gel-acetone), and the obtained effluent was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. By using acetonitrile, the resulting solid product was recrystallized three times to obtain a colorless crystalline 2-ethyl-4-chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl) imidazole in an amount of 0.82 g (yield, 39.0%). The TLC and spectra of this compound were the same as the properties exhibited by the above-mentioned 2-ethyl-4-chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl) imidazole.
