Procedure
A mixture of 3-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-1-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-2-aminoimidazolium bromide (1.0 g, 2.7 mmol), sodium acetate (0.55 g, 6.75 mmol) and acetic anhydride (5.0 mL) was heated at 160° C. for 12 hr. Upon cooling, the mixture was poured into a flask containing ice. While stirring, excess sodium bicarbonate was added to the above mixture in small portions, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hr. Then, the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (2×40 mL). The organic extracts were washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue was subjected to chromatography using ethyl acetate/hexanes (1:4) as eluent to afford the title compound as a light yellow oil which solidified upon cooling (0.344 g, 41% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 6.89 (s, 2H), 4.32 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 4.36-4.26 (m, 2H), 4.15-4.08 (m, 2H), 2.39 (s, 3H), 2.26 (s, 3H), 2.20 (s, 6H), 1.35 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H). Mass spec.: 314.15 (MH+).
