Conditions

Temperature: 60 °C

Procedure

Methyl chloroacetate (2; 29.8 mL, 338.6 mmol, 2.0 eq) was added drop-wise to 1-(trimethylsilyl)-1H-imidazole (8; 25.0 mL, 169.3 mmol). The mixture was heated at 60° C. for 24 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, washed with Et2O (3×500 mL) and dried in vacuo yielding 9 (41.97 g, 168.8 mmol, 99.7%) as a white solid.
