The residue was partitioned between AcOEt (200 mL) and water (150 mL) and the layers were separated. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (gradient: 0 to 5% MeOH in DCM) gave ethyl 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (12.53 g, 48.0 mmol, 84%) as a yellow oil.
