First big goal: OTC total synthesis of imidazole
Today I've decided to start on a big project:
imidazoles!
I plan on starting with the chemicals in my lab to try the Debus–Radziszewski synthesis of imidazole, possibly 2-amino imidazole, and if I'm still
feeling ambitious, 1,4,5 methyl imidazole
current plans:
create nitric acid from nitrates and h2so4
form glyoxal from ethanol and nitric acid
condense with p-formaldehyde and ammonia to get imidazole
2-amino imidazole:
form guanidine from molten urea/ammonium nitrate
condense guanidine with glyoxal
1,4,5 methyl imidazole
acetaldehyde via acid-catalyzed dehydration of ethylene glycol
forming diacetyl from acetone condensation and oxidation
Debus-Radziszewski with ammonia
from there if my yields are good enough and I'm able to recover enough, I might make some ionic liquids
