Participants

Reaction Steps

Into flask containing a solution of methyl 2-butyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (1.2 g, 6.6 mmol) in acetone (40 ml), Cs2CO3 (6.5 g, 19.8 mmol) and methyl iodide (0.5 ml, 6.6 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 4 h and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was concentrated and purified with flash chromatography. Yield 500 mg. 1H-NMR (400 MHz; CDCl3): δ 0.937 (t, 3H), 1.35-1.44 (m, 2H), 1.68-1.75 (m, 2H), 2.69 (t, 2H), 3.62 (s, 3H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 7.50 (s, 1H).
