Triethylamine → 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)-4-nitro-1H-imidazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

210 mg (0.70 mmol) of the compound from Example 37A were dissolved in 10 ml of dichloromethane, and 145 μl (1.04 mmol) of triethylamine and 61 μl (0.83 mmol) of thionyl chloride were added at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at RT for 24 h. A further 200 μl (2.72 mmol) of thionyl chloride were then added, and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 15 min. Under reduced pressure, the reaction mixture was then freed from all volatile components. This gave, in a purity of 88%, 200 mg (80% of theory) of the target compound, which was reacted further without any further purification.
