2-Nitroimidazole → (S)-(+)-alpha-(chloromethyl)-2-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-ethanol
Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | 2-Nitroimidazole | HCID 10701 | — |
| Reactant | Potassium Carbonate | HCID 11430 | — |
| Reactant | (+)-Epichlorohydrin | HCID 149428 | — |
| Product | (S)-(+)-alpha-(chloromethyl)-2-nitro-1H-imidazole-1-ethanol | HCID 11052772 | — |
Reaction Steps
Alternatively, a mixture of 2-nitroimidazole, anhydrous potassium carbonate, and (S)-(+)-epichlorohydrin is refluxed for 10 minutes then filtered while hot. The filtrate is concentrated and cooled to give a solid. Crystallization from ethanol and further processing gives the product.
