Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-hydroxybenzoate (5.48 g, 36.0 mmol) and 1,2-diaminoethane monotosylate (9.85 g, 42.4 mmol) is heated at 210° C. for 7 hours. After cooling, the mixture is stirred with aqueous 2N sodium hydroxide and extracted with ethyl acetate. The precipitate which formed and is present in the aqueous layer is collected by filtration and dried in vacuo to give 1.3 g (22%) of 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)imidazoline.
