Description
Butoconazole nitrate is an imidazole antifungal agent that exhibits potent antifungal properties, making it effective for the treatment of various fungal infections, particularly vulvovaginal candidiasis.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Butoconazole nitrate is used as a topical antifungal agent for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis, providing similar effectiveness to other commonly used antifungal agents such as miconazole and clotrimazole. It is effective against pure and mixed strains of C. albicans, the primary causative agent of vaginal yeast infections, when applied vaginally at concentrations of 0.25-2% and 0.1-1%, respectively. Formulations containing butoconazole nitrate are widely used in the treatment of vaginal yeast infections, offering a valuable therapeutic option for affected individuals.

Manufacturing Process
1H-Imidazole, 1-(4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((2,6-dichlorophenyl)thio)butyl)-, (+/-
)-, mononitrate may be prepared by the same way as described below for
enantiomers.To a solution of Li2CuCl4 (0.10 M, 8.8 ml, 0.88 mmol) in dry THF (75 ml) was
added dropwise a solution of 4-chloromagnesium chloride (17.5 mmol) in
ether (15 ml) at -35°C. After stirring for 45 min, a pre-cooled (-35°C) solution
of (S)-(+)-glycydil tosylate (2.0 g, 8.8 mmol) in THF (5 ml) was added via
syringe. After 2 h at -35°C, the mixture was quenched with saturated NH4Cl
and extracted with ether. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), evaporated to
dryness and purificated by flash chromatography affording (2S)-1-(p-toluenesulphonyloxy)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)butan-2-ol, as a white solid (1.9 g,
77%), m.p. 72.7-74°C.(2S)-1-[2-Hydroxy-4-(4-chlorophenyl)butyl]-1H-imidazole was prepared as
follows: to a solution of imidasole (0.52 g, 7.61 mmol) in dry DMF (5 ml) at
0°C under N2 was added NaH (60% dispersion in oil, 0.3 g, 7.61 mmol). The
reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 30 min. A
solution of (2S)-1-(p-toluenesulphonyloxy)-4-(4chlorophenyl)butan-2-ol in
DMF (15 ml) was then added dropwise over 15 min. The reaction mixture was
heated at 75°C for 24 h, cooled poured into water and extracted with ethyl
acetate. The organic phase was dried and evaporated and was the residue
purified by flash chromatography. Gradient elution (1-5% MeOH/CH2Cl2)
afforded (2S)-1-[2-hydroxy-4-(4-chlorophenyl)butyl]-1H-imidazole which was
recrystallized from EtOAc/Et2O (236 mg, 67%), m.p. 128°-131°C; [α]D25-
23.23 (c 0.4, CHCl3).(2S)-1-[2-Hydroxy-4-(4-chlorophenyl)butyl]-1H-imidazole nitrate was
prepared as follows. To a solution of (2S)-1-(p-toluenesulphonyloxy)-4-(4-
chlorophenyl)butan-2-ol (250 mg, 1 mmol) in THF (5 ml) at 0°C was added
triethylamine (0.28 ml, 2.0 mmol), followed by methanesulfonyl chloride (0,15
ml, 2.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was was warmed to room temperature
and stirred for 1 h. The mixture was poured into aq. NaHCO3, extracted with
EtOAC, and the organic phase dried and evaporated to dryness. The resulting
mesylate was dissolved in acetone (50 ml), then 2,6-dichlorobenzenethiol(464 mg, 2.6 mmol) and K2CO3 (568 mg, 4.1 mmol) were added. The mixture
was heated at reflux under N2, cooled to room temperature, evaporated to
dryness and partionated between water and EtOAc. The organic phase was
dried (Na2SO4), evaporated, and residue purified by flash chromatography (1-
2% MeOH/CH2Cl2 gradient elution) to give an oil which was converted to
nitrate salt. Recrystallization from EtOAc/Et2O gave 260 mg (55%) (2S)-1-[2-
hydroxy-4-(4-chlorophenyl)butyl]-1H-imidazole nitrate, m.p. 120°-124°C;
[α]D25+22.68 (c 0.4, EtOH).The R enantiomer was prepared the same way from (-)-glycidyl tosylate.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 64872-77-1 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 6,4,8,7 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 64872-77:
(7*6)+(6*4)+(5*8)+(4*7)+(3*2)+(2*7)+(1*7)=161
161 % 10 = 1
So 64872-77-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
