Molbank, Vol. 2018, Article M1030: N-[4-(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2,4´-bipyridin-2´-yl]benzene-1,4-diamine (Molbank)

N-[4-(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2,4´-bipyridin-2´-yl]benzene-1,4-diamine was synthesized with a good yield by the reaction of 2´-chloro-4-(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2,4´-bipyridine with 4-phenylenediamine. The functionalization of the pyridine was accomplished by a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction that afforded the target compound. The synthesized compound was characterized by chemical analysis, which includes nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR), Thin Layer Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (TLC-MS), high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and elemental analysis.
