Sodium Bicarbonate → HCID 86604807, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,4-Dinitro-1H-imidazole (0.678 g, 3.92 mmol) and phenyl oxiran-2-ylmethylcarbamate (1.04 g, 5.87 mmol) were dissolved in ethanol (20 ml). To the solution, sodium acetate (0.386 g, 4.70 mmol) was added followed by stirring under reflux overnight. To the reaction mixture, a saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and methylene chloride were added, and the solution was extracted with methylene chloride. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride/methanol=50/1) and treated with diisopropyl ether to afford ethyl (6-nitro-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]oxazol-2-ylmethyl)carbamate (0.116 g, yield 11.6%) as a light brown solid.
