1H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde → HCID 67068505, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A reaction mixture with 3-amino-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.2 g, 1.30 mmol), 2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde (0.15 g, 1.53 mmol), NaCNBH3 (0.082 g, 1.30 mmol) and OHAc (0.15 mL, 2.60 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) was stirred at r.t. for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. Washed with water and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (CH2Cl2/methanol gradient; 0 to 20% methanol), obtaining 0.30 g (99%) of the title compound.
