To a solution of the above 0.5 g (2.4 mmol) N-(4-phenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-acetamide in MeOH (20 mL) was added water (20 mL) and conc. H2SO4 (1 mL). The mixture was refluxed under nitrogen for 2 days. After cooling to rt, the organic solvent was removed under vacuum. The reaction mixture was neutralized with saturated sodium bicarbonate aq. solution (50 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (150 mL). The organic layer was dried and condensed. The residue was purified by a flash column chromatography eluting with EtOAc then EtOAc/MeOH=7:1 to give 4-phenyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylamine (160 mg, 41%). LCMS: 160 (M+1)+.
