Reaction Steps

The vinyl compound, 8-[1-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-vinyl]-quinoline (0.23 g) in trifluoroacetic acid: TFA (15 mL) was reduced by the action of 10% Pd/C (58 mg) under 50 psi of hydrogen for 18 h at rt. The mixture was filtered through Celite and basified with NH3-MeOH. The solvent was removed under vacuum. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel with 4% NH3-MeOH: CH2Cl2 to give 8-[1-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-ethyl]-quinoline (Intermediate C2) 0.2 g.
