Procedure

4-Nitroimidazole (0.29 moles, 32.9 g in 30 ml DMF was treated portionwise with sodium hydride (0.29 moles, 11.6 g. 60% in mineral oil) and stirred for 45 minutes. Ethyl 2-bromooctanoate (0.29 moles, 73.1 g) was added dropwise over 1 hour. The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature, poured onto ice water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried and concentrated to yield 91 g of ethyl 2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)octanoate. (MS)
