Some common heterocyclic compound, 1615-14-1, name is 2-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)ethanol, molecular formula is C5H8N2O, traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route. Quality Control of 2-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)ethanol
2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)ethyl 2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)propanoate 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide-HCl (EDC-HCl) (2.20 g, 11.5 mmol) was added solid all at once to a magnetically stirred solution of naproxen (2.30 g, 10.0 mmol), 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)imidazole (1.12 g, 10.0 mmol) and 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (61 mg, 0.5 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) cooled in an ice bath and kept under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred in an ice bath for 30 min and at ambient temperature. More EDC-HCl (400 mg, 2 mmol) was added after 13 hrs, 17 hrs. After stirring for 22 hrs at room temperature the mixture was concentrated and the residue partitioned between water (50 mL), saturated NH4Cl (20 mL) and EtOAc (120 mL). The organic layer was washed with 50% saturated NH4Cl (2*50 mL), 50% saturated NaHCO3 (50 mL) and brine (50 mL). The organic layer was dried and concentrated. The oily residue was purified by Flash Chromatography using ethyl acetate and heptanes as eluent afforded a colourless oil (2.74 g, 84%) after drying in high vacuum. The oil was crystallised from ether and recrystallised from Tert-butylmethylether (?20 mL, seeded) to afford the title compound as a colourless solid (2.21 g, 68.3%).

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 1615-14-1, its application will become more common.
