Reaktionsschritte

8.3 g (75.4 mmol) of 5-formyl-1-methylimidazole are dissolved in 120 ml of toluene, and 17.1 g (89.9 mmol) of 4-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate are added. After addition of 8.12 g (75.0 mmol) of 1,3-propanedithiol, the suspension obtained in this way is boiled under reflux with a water trap. It is subsequently washed with 4N sodium hydroxide solution, and the organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo until crystallization starts. After storage in a refrigerator overnight, 9.6 g (47.9 mmol, 64%) of 5-(1,3-dithian-2-yl)-1-methylimidazole are obtained as a white solid of melting point 111.5°-112.5° C.
