Reaction Steps

Place 4.0 g (0.021 mol) 2-cyano-1-(3-furylmethyl)-1H-imidazole, 20 ml ethanolic HCl, 20 ml ethanol and 1 g 10% Pd/C in a Parr hydrogenator with an initial pressure of 52 psi. After 18 hours remove the reaction mixture from the Parr hydrogenator, add 20 ml H2O, remove the catalyst by filtration, concentrate the filtrate to obtain an off-white solid which is recrystallized from ethanol containing a little concentrated HCl to give the desired product as a white solid.
