참여 물질

반응 단계

A mixture of 0.5 g of 3-[2-butyl-4-chloro-1-(4-nitrobenzyl)imidazol-5-yl]propenoic acid ethyl ester (E isomer) prepared from Part B of Example 227, 1 g of iron and 2 mL of glacial acetic acid in 30 mL of absolute ethanol was refluxed for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness and the residue was dissolved in 50 mL of H2O. The aqueous solution was adjusted to pH 8 by K2CO3 and was extracted with ethyl acetate. The crude product obtained upon concentration of the ethyl acetate extract was purified by flash silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1 elution). The desired compound was obtained as a thick colorless oil, 0.35 g.
