Ammonia → HCID 53733971, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.2 parts of N-(2-formyl-4-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenylmethyl]phenyl]acetamide and 40 parts of methanol, saturated with ammonia was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. After evaporation, dichloromethane was added. The solution was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel first using a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (97:3 by volume) and then a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (94:6 by volume) as eluents. The eluent of the desired fraction was evaporated and the residue was crystallized from 21 parts of 1,1'-oxybisethane. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 0.3 parts (14.7%) of 6-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenylmethyl]-2-methylquinazoline; mp. 129.6° C.
