反応手順

To a solution of 1.74 ml (4.7 mmol; ˜21% solution in ethanol) sodium ethanolate in 18 ml dry ethanol were added 600 mg (4.7 mmol) 3,5-heptanedione and stirred at ambient temperature for 30 min. Then a solution of 1-benzyl-2-chloromethyl-1H-imidazole (prepared from 1.081 g (4.5 mmol) 1-benzyl-2-chloromethyl-1H-imidazole hydrochloride in 7 ml ethanol and 1.74 ml (5 mmol; ˜21% solution in ethanol) sodium ethanolate) was added together with 30 mg potassium iodide. The mixture was heated to 50° C. for 10 min and then immediately cooled to ambient temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure at max. 30° C. Purification by flash-chromatography on silica gel with heptane/ethyl acetate 1:1 as eluent provided 423 mg 4-(1-benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylmethyl)-heptane-3,5-dione as light brown oil: MS (ISP): 299.2 ((M+H)+.).
