Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-amino-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (6.45 mmol, 1 g) and triethylamine (10.04 mmol, 1.016 g) were suspended in dry ACN (30 ml) and cooled to 0° C. Acryloyl chloride (9.67 mmol, 0.875 g) dissolved in dry ACN (4 ml) was added dropwise. The resulting mixture was slowly warmed to RT and subsequently heated to 50° C. for 16 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue purified by flash chromatography. 0.358 g of the title compound was obtained. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.37 (t, 3H), 2.92 (t, 2H), 4.18 (t, 2H), 4.37 (q, 2H), 7.40 (s, 1H), 8.78 (bs, 1H).
