Sodium Carbonate → 5-carbamoyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl-piperonylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1.27 g of 4-carbamoylimidazolium-5-olate in 42.4 g of 10% aqueous solution of sodium carbonate was added 7.38 g of 3,4-methylenedioxybenzoylchloride in 20 ml of toluene at room temperature. After addition was over, the mixture was stirred for 4 hours. Then the separated crystals were filtered off, washed with water and toluene, dried in vacuo to give 5-carbamoyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl 3,4-methylenedioxybenzoate, m.p. 206.5°-208° C. (dec.).
