The first method: Condensation of chloroacetate with imidazole and formaldehyde using high pressure method:
The method adopts high-pressure conditions (80-100 MPa) to prepare an intermediate through the condensation reaction of chloroacetate, imidazole and formaldehyde, and then adds tetrabutylammonium bromide in the presence of hydrochloric acid to finally obtain the product tetramisole hcl.
The reaction steps are as follows:
1) Preparation of chloroacetate:
First, add chloroacetic acid and excess formaldehyde into an organic solvent, such as methanol or ethanol, and stir at room temperature. NaOH was added to bring the pH of the reaction solution close to 7.
Then, using a high-pressure reactor, the reaction was carried out under the reaction conditions of 160°C. The final product is chloroacetic formaldehyde carboxylate with the structure OHC(CH2)2Cl.
2) Preparation of imidazole:
In a reaction kettle, dissolve methyl ethyl ketone in alcohol solution, add chloroformamide and copper chloride, and stir at room temperature. Acetylimidazole was then added to the reaction mixture and reacted while heating to 70°C. The reaction mixture can be reacted at a high temperature of 90° C., and the reaction time is about 24 hours. The final product obtained is an imidazole compound with a structure of isoimidazolone, namely 2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetophenone.
3) Condensation reaction of imidazole and chloroacetic acid formaldehyde carboxylate:
Imidazole was dissolved in methanol, and chloroacetic formaldehyde carboxylate was added thereto for mixing. The reactants are reacted at a high temperature of 160°C and pressurized in the reactor to ensure complete reaction of the reactants. The reaction time is 2 hours. The product produced by the condensation reaction is N-(2-oxo-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-imidazolyl)-chloroacetic acid formaldehyde amide with molecular formula C13H16N3O3Cl.
This intermediate still requires hydrochlorination to form tetramisole hcl. The above-mentioned intermediate is treated with an acid containing chloride ions, and tetrabutylammonium bromide is added for high-pressure hydrochlorination to finally obtain the product Tetramisole Hcl.

The preparation of Tetramisole Hcl intermediate requires the use of high-pressure reactors, and the reaction conditions involve high temperature and high pressure. Careful and precise control of the reaction conditions is required to ensure complete reaction of the reactants. In a series of complex chemical processes, the intermediate N-(2-oxo-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-imidazolyl)-chloroacetic acid formaldehyde amide is crucial in the preparation of Tetramisole Hcl important step.
