1-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid → HCID 86690468, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

After a solution of methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (1.45 g), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (HOBT.H2O) (2.08 g) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC.HCl) (2.60 g) in acetonitrile (35 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 10 min, a solution of N-[(2-bromopyridin-4-yl)methyl]propan-2-amine (2.59 g) in acetonitrile (15 mL) was added thereto, and the resulting solution was then stirred at room temperature for 23 hr. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was then diluted with chloroform and washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. After extracting with chloroform, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel cartridge, chloroform:methanol=98:2-82:18) and (the same column, chloroform:methanol=98:2-85:15) to afford the title compound (3.72 g).
