4-(2,3-DIMETHYL-BENZYL)-1H-IMIDAZOLE

The chemical properties of 4- (2,3-dimethylbenzyl) -1H-indole are quite rich.
This compound has a certain stability. Under normal temperature and pressure, its solid-state structure can usually remain relatively stable, and it is not easy to spontaneously produce violent changes. In terms of solubility, since its molecular structure contains aromatic rings and alkyl groups, it exhibits a certain solubility in organic solvents. Common organic solvents such as dichloromethane, chloroform, and toluene can interact with the compound by means of intermolecular van der Waals forces, so that it dissolves. However, in water, due to the relatively small molecular polarity and weak interaction with water molecules, the solubility is poor.
From the perspective of reactivity, the indole ring in the molecule is a key check point for reactivity. There are lone pair electrons on the nitrogen atom of the indole ring, which have certain nucleophilicity and can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. For example, under appropriate conditions, it can react with halogenated hydrocarbons. The nitrogen atom attacks the carbon atom of the halogenated hydrocarbon, and the halogen atom leaves, thereby forming a new C-N bond. At the same time, the electron cloud density of the 3-position carbon atom of the indole ring is high, which is vulnerable to the attack of electrophilic reagents and occurs electrophilic substitution reactions. For example, when in contact with electrophilic reagents such as acyl halides and halogenated reagents, the 3-position carbon atoms can be replaced by electrophilic In addition, the dimethyl benzyl part of the molecule, the hydrogen atom on the benzyl carbon is affected by the benzene ring and has a certain activity. Under certain conditions, such as in the presence of a strong base or a free radical initiator, related reactions can occur, such as the substitution reaction of benzyl hydrogen.

To prepare 4- (2,3-dimethylbenzyl) -1H-indole, the method is as follows:
First take an appropriate amount of 2,3-dimethylbenzyl halide and mix it with indole in a suitable organic solvent. For organic solvents, such as toluene, dichloromethane, etc., it is necessary to choose those that can dissolve the reactants well and do not have adverse reactions with the reactants.
Next, add an appropriate amount of base. The base can be an inorganic base such as potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate, or an organic base such as triethylamine. The function of the base is to capture the hydrogen on indole nitrogen to form indole negative ions and enhance its nucleophilicity. < Br >
Stir the reaction at a certain temperature. Temperature control is critical. If it is too low, the reaction will be slow, and if it is too high, side reactions may occur. Generally speaking, the reaction temperature can be maintained between 50 and 100 ° C, depending on the nature of the specific reactants and solvents.
When reacting, it is necessary to pay attention to the changes in the reaction system. The reaction process can be monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC). When the raw material point is almost gone, the reaction is approaching completion.
After the reaction is completed, pour the reaction solution into an appropriate amount of water and extract the product with an organic solvent. After extraction, combine the organic phases and remove the water with a desiccant such as anhydrous sodium sulfate.
After removing water, the organic solvent is removed by rotary evaporation to obtain the crude product. After refining by column chromatography or recrystallization, a pure 4- (2,3-dimethylbenzyl) -1H-indole can be obtained.
For column chromatography, select the appropriate silica gel as the stationary phase, and use different proportions of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate mixed liquid as the mobile phase. Separation is achieved by the difference in the distribution coefficient between the stationary phase and the mobile phase of each component. During recrystallization, select the appropriate solvent, make the crude product heat and dissolve, filter while hot, and the filtrate is cooled to crystallize, filtered and dried to obtain the pure product.

The price of 4- (2,3-dimethylbenzyl) -1H-indole in the market varies depending on factors such as quality, origin, supply and demand.
In the pharmaceutical market, if it is high quality and high purity 4- (2,3-dimethylbenzyl) -1H-indole, the price per gram may be in the range of hundreds of yuan. This is because pharmaceuticals require extremely high purity of raw materials, require fine purification, and the cost is high, so the price is high.
In the chemical raw material market, its price may be slightly lower. If purchased in large quantities, due to the scale effect, the price per gram may be reduced to tens of yuan. However, its price also fluctuates with market supply and demand. If the supply exceeds the demand, the price may drop; if the supply exceeds the demand, the price will rise.
And different origins, due to the difficulty of obtaining raw materials and the difference in process costs, the price is also different. The origin is close to the raw material source and the process is mature, the cost is reduced and the price is close to the people; the origin is remote and the process is complicated, the price is slightly higher.
In summary, the market price of 4- (2,3-dimethylbenzyl) -1H-indole ranges from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan per gram, and the actual price depends on the specific transaction situation.
