In organic chemistry, atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are generally referred to as heteroatoms. The most common heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Now I present to you an article called Novel and reusable mesoporous silica supported 4-methylbenzenesulfonate-functionalized ionic liquids for room temperature highly efficient preparation of 2,4,5-triaryl-1H-imidazoles, published in 2021, which mentions a compound: 484-47-9, mainly applied to mesoporous silica methylbenzenesulfonate ionic liquid catalyst reusable; triarylimidazole green preparation; benzil benzaldehyde condensation titanium mesoporous silica ionic liquid, Application In Synthesis of 2,4,5-Triphenylimidazole.
A series of mesoporous material-supported ionic liquids were prepared and tested as effective and practical catalysts for the synthesis of 2,4,5-triaryl-1H-imidazoles I [R = H, 4-Cl, 2-OH, etc.] using benzil and benzaldehydes. The effects of type of catalysts, catalyst amount, and catalyst stability have also been investigated in detail. The catalyst Ti-SBA-15@ILTsO exhibited excellent activity in excellent yields of 92%9̃9% with low catalyst amount at room temperature within 1 h. In addition, the supported ionic liquid could be easily recovered and reused six times with satisfactory catalytic activity. Furthermore, a general synergetic catalytic mechanism for the reaction was proposed. This work employing Ti-SBA-15@ILTsO as highly efficient and stable catalyst for the synthesis of 2,4,5-triaryl-1H-imidazoles has potential com. applications.
There is still a lot of research devoted to this compound(SMILES：C1(C2=CC=CC=C2)=NC(C3=CC=CC=C3)=C(C4=CC=CC=C4)N1)Application In Synthesis of 2,4,5-Triphenylimidazole, and with the development of science, more effects of this compound(484-47-9) can be discovered.
