Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-5-carbaldehyde (2.9 g, 26.3 mmol) in toluene (20 mL) was added propane-1,3-diol (4.01 g, 52.7 mmol) and CSA (0.306 g, 1.317 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux with azeotropic removal of the evolved water for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, diluted with DCM and washed with NaHCO3 solution. It was then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography (80% EtOAc in Hexane to EtOAc) afforded 38 (2.53 g, 57% yield) as a yellow oil which solidified on standing to a yellow solid. MS (m/z): 169.2 (M+H).
