Procedure
A mixture of 1.59 gm of 4-(p-aminophenyl)-1-H-imidazole, 1.2 gm of cyclohexyl isonitrile, and 0.99 gm of CuCl was heated at 150° C. for three hours. The thick reaction mixture was extracted with methanol. The methanol solution, after treatment with charcoal, was evaporated to dryness and extracted with ethyl acetate and 10% hydrochloric acid. The acid solution was adjusted to pH 7.5 with 17% Na2CO3 and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic solution was evaporated to dryness. The substance remaining after recrystallization from acetone comprised 0.25 gm of the desired product.
