Procedure

2-(3-pyridyl)imidazoline (7.2 g, 0.049M), and barium manganate (52.5 g) in CH2Cl2 (500 ml) were refluxed for 24 hrs. The reaction mixture was then filtered through diatomaceous earth, washed with ethylacetate (3×200 ml) and methanol (3×100 ml). The combined filtrates were concentrated to yield an oil which was purified on silica gel column, eluted with 20% by volume methanol 80% by volume methylene dichloride, to give 3-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine (4.66 g, 64.7%).
