N-(Hydroxymethyl)phthalimide Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

A mixture of phthalimide (41.14 g, 0.30 mol) and distilled water (100 mL) was stirred for 10 min at room temperature. After addition of formaldehyde solution (40percent, 27 mL, 0.36 mol), the resulting solution was refluxed for 1.5 h. After cooling to 0–5 °C, the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with cold water (0–5 °C, 200 mL) and dried in air to give the corresponding N-hydroxymethylphthalimide (51.01 g, 96percent yield).(0010)A solution of thionyl chloride (23.0 mL, 37.7 g, 0.32 mol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) was slowly added to a mixture of the resulting N-hydroxymethylphthalimide and dichloromethane (550 mL) and N, N-dimethylformamide (350 mL) during 30 min at room temperature with stirring. The resulting mixture was further stirred for 2 h at room temperature. After cooling to 0 °C, water (200 mL) was added slowly. And the solution was neutralized to pH 6.7–7.0 by using saturated aqueous NaHCOThe titled compound was prepared according to the method described in the literature 15. A mixture of phthalimide (0.1 mol), formalin (0.25 mol) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (1 g) was dissolved in water (50 mL) by heating on a water bath for 5 min. The resultant solution was stirred for 15 min and then refluxed on a sand-bath for 2 h. On cooling, a solid separated out which was filtered off and washed repeatedly with ice-cold water. The solid thus obtained, was dried and recrystallized from ethanol. A colorless needle was obtained. m.p., 149-150 °C, Yield-75 percent.General procedure: To a solution of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidinone (1) (1 mmol) and paraformaldehyde (2 mmol) in tetrachloroethylene (2 mL), diethyl phosphite was added (2 mmol). After completion monitored by TLC, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The products were separated by silica gel column chromatography eluted with petroleum ethyl acetate/petroleum ether.

Uses

N-(Hydroxymethyl)phthalimide is used as a reactant in the synthesis of 5-[(3-aralkyl amido/imidoalkyl)phenyl]-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazines as antiviral agents.
