Abstract

PURPOSE:To readily, efficiently and industrially obtain the subject compound useful as a curing agent for epoxy resins by thermally reacting 1-benzyl-2- phenyl-4(5)-imidazole hydrochloride, etc., as a raw material and neutralizing the resultant reaction product with an alkali. CONSTITUTION:2-Phenyl-4(5)-methylimidazole, expressed by formula I and industrially obtained by reacting 1,2-propylenediamine with benzonitrile and benzyl chloride expressed by formula II are heated at about 100 deg.C to provide 1-benzyl-2- phenyl-4(5)-methylimidazole hydrochloride expressed by formula III or 1,3- dibenzyl-2-phenyl-4(5)-methylimidazole chloride expressed by formula IV. The resultant compound as a raw material is thermally reacted at 250-350 deg.C for 1-3hr and the reaction mixture is neutralized with a solution of an alkali, such as NaOH, in methanol to distil away the methanol. The residue is then washed with water and the substance washed with water is subsequently distilled under reduced pressure to afford the objective compound expressed by formula V.

Means for Solving the Problems In view of the above circumstances, the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive research and have found 1.
-benzyl-2-phenyl-4(5)-methylimidazole hydrochloride or 1,3-dibenzyl-2-phenyl-
The reaction mixture obtained either by heating 4(5)-methylimidazolium-chloride or by heating 2-phenyl-4-methylimidazole (hereinafter abbreviated as 2P4MZ) and benzyl chloride is neutralized with an alkali. It was discovered that 2P4M5BZ can be efficiently obtained by adding the above, and the present invention was achieved. 2P4MZ is made from 1,2-propylene diamine and benzonitrile,
It can be obtained industrially by the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 39-24965, Japanese Patent Publication No. 39-26405, and Japanese Patent Publication No. 42-4548. Further, imidazolium chloride can be easily synthesized by reacting 2P4MZ and benzyl chloride.
