Sodium Carbonate → HCID 178419891, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline (Intermediate F1) (Commercially available from Aldrich) (1.62 mL, 12.6 mmol) and 4-hydroxymethyl-imidazole hydrochloride salt (commercially available from Aldrich) (Intermediate F2) (0.70 g, 5.1 mmol) and sodium carbonate (1.6 g, 15.1 mmol) in water (20 mL) and dioxane (10 mL) were heated at reflux for 24 h. The mixture was cooled to rt and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic solution was dried over MgSO4, filtered and freed of solvent. The resultant oil was purified by chromatography on silica gel with 5% NH3-MeOH: dichloromethane to give 1-(1H-imidazol-4-ylmethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline (Intermediate F3) as a solid, 0.54 g (50%).
