摘要
Automated process development technology was applied to the synthesis of 4(4)-(3-pyridyl)imidazole. This method utilizes automated liquid handling equipment coupled with statistically designed protocols for rapid process optimization. Two experimental sets were carried out based on a three-level factorial and central composite designs to optimise the product yield, The central composite design was repeated on one-fifth the scale to test the capabilities of the automated equipment. The reaction variables investigated were temperature and stoichiometry of formamide. The optimum in situ yield of 4(5)-(3-pyridyl)-imidazole was found to be at 160 degreesC and 9 equiv of formamide, The results from the automated technology can be applied to larger-scale synthesis of the desired compound.
