Abstract: | The preparation of esters of 4(5)-hydioxymethylimidazole with mono-, di-, and trichloroacetic acids is described. It has been established that in the reaction of imidazolylmethyl chloroacetate with diethanolamine, the latter is alkylated with the imidagolylmethyl part of the ester, giving rise to bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminomethylimidazole.For communication II, see [1]. |
