A Safe and Efficient Synthetic Route to a 2,5-Dimethyl-1-aryl-1H-imidazole Intermediate
摘要:
An optimized route to an iodo-imidazole intermediate in the synthesis of 4-ethynyl-2,5-dimethyl-1-aryl-1H-imidazoles (6) was devised. Important data for the optimization work was obtained by carrying out a DOE study to gain understanding of the parameters that affect the key intramolecular cyclization to build the imidazole ring. Additional information on the reaction mechanism of this step was obtained by carrying out a flow NMR experiment. In order to complete the proof of concept, the iodo-imidazole intermediate was converted to two ethynyl imidazoles (6a, b) using metal-catalyzed reactions.
