Potassium Carbonate → HCID 15067841, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

10 Grams (0.036 mol) of 2-phenyl-4-(2-bromoethanoyl)-5-methyl-1H-imidazole and 8.5 grams (0.034 mol) of N-(diphenylmethyl)piperazine and 5 grams (0.036 mol) of potassium carbonate were added to 300 ml of ethanol. The mixture was refluxed under stirring overnight. After cooling, the salts were removed by filtration and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted by dichloromethane and washed twice with water. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. Trituration of the residue with ethanol gave a white precipitate, 1-diphenylmethyl-4-[2-(2-phenyl-5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-2-oxoethyl]piperazine, which was used in the next reaction step without further purification.
