참여 물질

반응 단계

4-amino-1H-imidazole-5-carbonitrile (10.0 g, 0.0925 mol) and pentanal (11 mL, 0.10 mol) were mixed in methanol (100 mL). After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, Sodium cyanoborohydride (7.0 g, 0.11 mol) was added to the mixture. The mixture was continued to stir overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with EtOAc (1 L) and washed with sat. NaHCO3 (30 ml) and then brine (50 ml) solutions respectively. The organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, concentrated and purified with combi-flash silica gel chromatography (20%-80% EtOAc in hexane) to yield the desired product (11.5 g, 70%). LCMS calculated for C9H15N4(M+H): 179. found: 179.1.
