A mixture of 4-methyl-1H-imidazole (18.0 g, 53.5 mmol), 1-chloro-2-methoxy-4-nitrobenzene (10.0 g, 53.5 mmol), and potassium hydroxide (4.5 g, 80.3 mmol) in DMSO (50 mL) was heated at 110° C. for 24 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to rt and was poured into 1000 mL of water. The aqueous mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×250 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude reaction mixture was purified using silica gel chromatography (330 g silica cartridge, 0-2% MeOH/chloroform, linear gradient over 72 min, flow 25 mL/min) to afford 1-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-4-methyl-1H-imidazole (2.56 g, 20% yield) as a yellow/orange solid. LC-MS (M+H)+=234.1. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.97-8.00 (m, 1H) 7.93-7.97 (m, 2H) 7.45 (d, J=8.85 Hz, 1H) 7.02 (s, 1H) 4.02 (s, 3H) 2.35 (s, 3H).
