The resulting solution was heated to a gentle reflux and refluxed overnight. The solution was cooled to room temperature, quenched with sodium hydroxide and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The mixture was then filtered. The solvents were removed under vacuum. The remaining residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (10% saturated ammonia methanol in dichloromethane) to give (3-bromo-2-methoxy-benzyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-amine 9.
