Sodium Carbonate → HCID 11610203, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution 1-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)butan-2-on-1-yl]imidazole (2.49 g) in 98% methanesulfonic acid (10 ml) was treated with ethane-1,2-dithiol (6 ml) and the mixture stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting mixture was poured into excess aqueous sodium carbonate, extracted with ether (3×20 ml), the extracts washed, dried (MgSO4) and the ether evaporated. The residue was taken up in a small volume of ether and treated with ethereal hydrogen chloride until precipitation was complete. The resulting precipitate was filtered off and recrystallized from methanol/ethyl acetate, to give 1-[[2-(2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl)-1,3-dithiolan-2-yl]methyl]imidazole hydrochloride, m.p. 206.5°-208° C. Similarly proceeding as above, but substituting the appropriate ethan-1,2-dithiol and the appropriate ketone as exemplified in Preparations 1, 2, 3 or 4 in place of 1-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)butan-2-on-1-yl]imidazole there may be prepared, for example, the following compounds:
