Murakami, Teiichi; Otsuka, Masami; Ohno, Masaji published the artcile< An efficient synthesis of 5-diethoxymethylimidazole-4-carboxylate: a potential precursor for various imidazole derivatives>, Name: 2,2-Diethoxyacetonitrile, the main research area is ethoxymethylimidazolecarboxylate; imidazolecarboxylate diethoxymethyl; cycloaddition ethoxyacetonitrile methyl isocyanoacetate; nitrile cycloaddition methyl isocyanoacetate.
The title imidazolecarboxylate I [R = CH(OEt)2] was prepared in 82% yield by cycloaddition reaction of (EtO)2CHCN with CNCH2CO2Me in diglyme containing KH at 0-70° for 5 h. I [R = (MeO)3C, Ph, pyridyl, furyl] were similarly prepared in 13-85% yield.
Tetrahedron Letters published new progress about Cycloaddition reaction. 6136-93-2 belongs to class nitriles-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C6H11NO2, Name: 2,2-Diethoxyacetonitrile.
