2-Nitroimidazole Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Mix amino acetal S-methyl isosulfide with water, stir and heat, evaporate to dryness under reduced pressure, the residue is dissolved in methanol, and then acetone is added dropwise to obtain white crystal N-(2, 2-diethoxyeth Base) guanidine sulfate, yield 84.4%. Take N-(2, 2-diethoxyethyl)guanidine sulfate and concentrated hydrochloric acid, stir and heat to reflux, complete the reaction, add distilled water to dry under reduced pressure, then add water to dry, the residue is dissolved with absolute ethanol, Then add anhydrous ether dropwise to obtain a white solid 2-aminoimidazole with a yield of 64.5%. 2-Aminoimidazole, add fluoroboric acid and water, cool to below -15℃, and add a solution of sodium nitrate and water dropwise with stirring. After finishing, continue stirring. Pour the brown-green solution produced by the reaction into copper sulfate pentahydrate solution, stir while adding, then add sodium nitrite to continue stirring, after the reaction is completed, add concentrated hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH to 2, extract with acetate, the extract is free of After drying with sodium sulfate, the ethyl acetate was recovered to the end, and the residue was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 2-nitroimidazole.
