Succinic Acid → HCID 20471294, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A hot solution of succinic acid (0.295 g, 0.0025 mol) in ethanol (20 ml) was added to a stirred, hot solution of 1-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)imidazole (0.46 g, 0.0025 mol) in hot ethanol (10 ml). After boiling for 0.25 h, the solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford a white solid. Recrystallisation of the solid from ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (b.p. 40°-60°) afforded 1-(3,4-dimethylbenzyl)imidazole hydrogen succinate as white crystals, m.p. 134°-135°.
