Dacarbazine has been prepared started from glycine, which was carried on firstly through a four-step process including esterification, formylation, dehydration, amidation to give 2-isocyanoacetamide with a total yield of 42.9%. 2-Isocyanoacetamide was then cyclized with cyanamide under basic condition to afford the important intermediate 5-amino-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide with yield of 68.2%. This intermediate undergoing diazotization and following coupling reaction with dimethylamine led to the target compound. The overall yield was 22.3%. All the intermediates and the target products dacarbazine were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and ESI-MS. The current process is economic efficient charac-terized by applied cheap materials, mild conditions, and good overall yield.

Key words: dacarbazine, process optimization, drug synthesis, anticancer
