Komponenten

Versuchsvorschrift

A mixture of 2-formylimidazole (5.16 g), bromoethyl acetate (7.1 ml) and potassium carbonate (11.1 g) in. DMF (50 ml) was stirred for 20 hours at 60° C. The insolubles were removed by filtration, water was added to the mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was separated and purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane 1:1), to give ethyl (2-formyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetate (1.10 g) as pale yellow oil.
