production method | is obtained from the reaction of dimethylethylamine and phosphorus pentachloride. Put the excess of dimethylethylamine and phosphorus pentachloride into the reaction pot, keep it at 70-80 ℃ for 2H, place it overnight, distill the phosphorus oxychloride under reduced pressure, the temperature should not exceed 100 ℃, cool it, add ice water, after stirring, the pH was adjusted to 9-10 with 30-40% alkali solution and allowed to stand. The oily substance was separated, the mother liquor was cooled, inorganic salts were precipitated, filtered, washed with chloroform, and the mother liquor was extracted with chloroform. The oil layer and the chloroform layer were combined, chloroform was recovered, and distilled under reduced pressure to collect a boiling point fraction of 110-115 ° C. (4.0kPa) to obtain 1-methyl-5-chloroimidazole. The yield was 52%. |
