2-(CHLOROMETHYL)-1-METHYL-1H-IMIDAZOLE HYDROCHLORIDE

Synthesis of 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole Hydrochloride (BB7)1-Methyl-2-hydroxymethyl imidazole (15.0 g, 134 mmol) was added, with shaking and exclusion of moisture, over a period of 15 min to ice cooled thionyl dichloride (24.6 mL, 30 g, 0.25 mol). The reactants were then heated under reflux for 15 min. The cooled solution was evaporated under reduced pressure followed by recrystallization from ethanol (25 mL) and dried under high vacuum to give 2-(chloromethy1)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole hydrochloride as brown crystals. Yield: 15.1g, 88percent. This compound was synthesised using a modified procedure described in literature.6 1-Methyl-2-hydroxymethyl imidazole (6.500 g, 58.000 mmol) was added in small portions to SOClSynthesis of 2-(Chloromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole Hydrochloride (BB7)1-Methyl-2-hydroxymethyl imidazole (15.0 g, 134 mmol) was added, with shaking and exclusion of moisture, over a period of 15 min to ice cooled thionyl dichloride (24.6 mL, 30 g, 0.25 mol).
