Reaction Steps

Ethyl 1-(4-methoxybutyl)-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylate (2.18 g) was dissolved in acetonitrile (30 ml), N-bromosuccinimide (1.71 g) was added and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 14 hr. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (10:90-70:30) was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the object product (689 mg).
