Oxalic Acid → HCID 20277149, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of oxalic acid (0.18 g, 2.0 mmol) in boiling ethanol (10 ml) was added to a hot solution of 1-[2-(1-adamantyl)ethyl]imidazole (0.5 g, 2.17 mmol). After boiling for 0.15 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a white solid. Recrystallisation of the solid from propan-2-ol gave 1-[2-(1-adamantanyl)ethyl]imidazole hydrogen oxalate, m.p. 182°-183°.
