Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of potassium carbonate(40.07 g, 22.60 mmol) in 175 mL acetone was added 1-(4-nitrophenyl) imidazoline-2-thione(5.0 g, 22.60 mmol). Dripped iodomethane (1.44 mL, 23.05 mmol) into reaction mixture and heated to reflux temperature for 20 h. Concentrated reaction mixture under reduced pressure and took up resulting solid in 200 mL water. Extracted aqueous three times with ethyl acetate. Combined extracts, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 5.29 g of crude 4-(2′-methylthioimidazol-1-yl)nitrobenzene. 1HNMR (DMSO-d6) δ: 10.45 (s, 1H) 8.06 (dd, 1H, J1=2.0 Hz, J2=8.0 Hz), 8.38-8.33 (m, 2H), 7.77-7,72 (m, 2H), 7.61 (d, 1H, J=1.5 Hz), 7.14 (d, 1H, J=1.5 Hz), 2.52 (s, 3H), ESI mass spectrum analysis m/z (relative intensity) 236 (M+H, 100).
