| Use | 1-methyl-2-trichloroacetylimidazole is an organic intermediate, which can be obtained by one-step reaction of trichloroacetyl chloride and N-methylimidazole. It has been reported that it can be used to prepare C- 2 substituted imidazole chiral ionic liquids. |
| preparation | synthesis of 1-methyl -2-trichloroacetyl imidazole: under the protection of nitrogen, add 7mL(11.2g,61mmol) trichloroacetyl chloride and 40 mLCH2Cl2 into a 100mL three-mouth bottle. Fill 5mL(5.00g, 63mmol)1-methylimidazole and 30mL CH2Cl2 in a constant pressure funnel, slowly drop into a three-mouth bottle, add the drops for about 2 hours, and continue stirring at room temperature for 8 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0°C in an ice water bath, 8.8mL triethylamine was added dropwise, and stirred for another 1h. Filtration, the filtrate is reduced pressure to remove the solvent, and recrystallized (n-hexane is used as solvent) to obtain 9.43g of white crystals with 68% yield. Mp76 ℃ ~ 77 ℃. MS(EI)m/z 226 (m, the theoretical value of the C6H5N2OCl3 is 226). |
