Abstract:Source of materialThe title compound, 1-bis[(2-phenylazo)imidazol-1-yl]-methane, was prepared by using the phase-transfer organic synthesis method. 2-Phenylazoimidazole (0.68 g, 4mmol) was added to a single-neck flask, then KOH (0.24 g, 4mmol) and Bu 4 NBr (0.1 g, 0.3 mmol) was added. After mixing, 10 ml CH 2 Cl 2 was added and stirred at room temperature for 2days. The solvent was removed in vaccum and the solid resident was subjected to flash column chromatography. Orange-yellow single crystals suitable for… Show more
