Paragraph 0072, (2018/06/13)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel method for producing an optically active imidazole compound useful as a pharmaceutical. SOLUTION: A production method includes the steps for making a compound represented by formula (3) react with hydrogen gas in the presence of an optically active metal complex catalyst, to obtain a compound represented by formula (4) with high yield and high selectivity (in the formula, R1 is an amino protecting group, and * is an asymmetric carbon atom).

PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF MEDETOMIDINE
-
, (2011/06/26)
The present disclosure relates to a process for the preparation of medetomidine, 4-[1-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)ethyl]- 1H-imidazoIe in an environmentally favourable and commercially feasible manner. Previous methods for the preparation of medetomidine use expensive 4-substituted imidazole derivatives as starting material. A practical way of synthesis is provided in which the imidazole ring is built up during a multi-step process starting from commercially affordable, 2,3-dimethylbenzoic. Mild reaction conditions are used throughout the process.
