Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 5.19 g of diethyl 1-benzyl-2-bromomethylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate [prepared as described in Preparation 42(ii)] in 20 ml of isopropanol and 25 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise to a solution of sodium isopropoxide in isopropanol (prepared from 0.77 g of sodium and 100 ml of isopropanol), and then, the resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 5 hours. The reaction solution was then treated following a procedure similar to that described in Preparation 42 (iii). The residue was purified by column chromatography through silica gel, using a 3:2 by volume mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate as the eluent, to give 1.47 g of the title compound as a syrup.
