introduction | imidazole -4-methyl formate is white crystalline powder with a melting point between 154-156 c (lit.), a boiling point of 318.2±15.0 c (Predicted), a density of 1.46g/cm3 and an acidity coefficient (pKa) of 10.89±0.10(Predicted). It is a chemical intermediate, generally used according to regulations will not decompose, but also need to avoid oxidants. |
Use | Imidazol-4-methyl formate has good physiological activity, such as as the active center functional group of most natural enzymes, it can participate in many important biochemical reactions, so it is known as "biocatalyst" or "biological ligand". At the same time, they also have anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, lowering blood pressure and other pharmacological activities. For example, some aryl imidazole derivatives are also used as antagonists of glucagon receptor, 5-lipoxygenase and L-1 biosynthesis inhibitors. |
synthesis method | dissolve 1H-imidazol-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester 1H-imidazol-4-carboxylic acid (5g,44.6mmol) in MeOH(100ml). Add H2SO4(10 ml) to the solution at 0°C. The resulting mixture was stirred overnight at 80°C. Concentrate the solvent under reduced pressure. The pH was adjusted to 9 with NaHCO3 aqueous solution and extracted with EtOAc. Concentrate the organic layer to obtain the product. The yield of 1H-NMR(400MHz;DMSO-d6) is 5.2g:δ3.74(s,3H),7.79(bs,2H),12.75(bs,1H). LC-MS:[M 1]= 127.23. The compound was judged to be imidazol-4-methyl formate by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. |
