Hydrochloric Acid → 4'-(4-Chloro-2-phenylimidazol-1-ylmethyl)biphenyl-2-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.2 g of 4′-(4-chloro-5-formyl-2-phenylimidazol-1-ylmethyl)biphenyl-2-sulfonic acid dimethylaminomethylenamide (Example 11a), 95 ml of a saturated aqueous HCl solution and 95 ml of ethanol are refluxed for 2 h. After cooling, the mixture is diluted with 500 ml of water and extracted twice using 500 ml of EA each time and the organic phase is washed twice using 100 ml of a saturated aqueous NaCl solution each time. The extract is dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The product mixture is recrystallized from 200 ml of EA and 6.2 g of 4′-(4-chloro-5-formyl-2-phenyl-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)biphenyl-2-sulfonamide (compare Example 11b) are obtained. The solvent of the mother liquor is removed in vacuo and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel using MTB/DIP 1:1.40 mg of a colorless oil are obtained.
