The resulting mixture is stirred at 115° C. for 10 h, cooled to room temperature and diluted 50 ml of water. The reaction mixture is adjusted to pH=9, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. Purification by silica gel chromatography (hexanes/ethyl acetate, from 8:1 to 2:1) affords 3.24 of 1-butyl-5-hydroxymethyl-2-iodo-4-phenylimidazole. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.59 (2H, dd, J=1.6, 6.8 Hz), 7.39 (2H, m), 7.31 (1H, m), 4.78 (2H, s), 4.00 (2H, t, J=8.0 Hz), 1.78 (2H, m), 1.46 (2H, m), 1.00 (3H, t, J=7.2 Hz); MS (+VE) m/z 357(M+1).
