The 6-(imidazol-1-yl)-3-oxa-hexanoic acid-hydrochloride used as the starting material is prepared in the following manner: 1-trimethylsilylimidazole (b.p.20 : 117°-120° C.) is reacted with chloropropionic acid-trimethylsilyl ester (b.p.1013 : 172°-175° C.) with simultaneous saponification of the esters to form 3-(imidazol-1-yl)-propionic acid (m.p.: 148°-150° C.). Reaction with trimethylchlorosilane in ethanol leads to the corresponding ethyl ester-hydrochloride from which the free 3-(imidazol-1-yl)-propionic acid-ethyl ester (oil) was obtained with 2N sodium hydroxide solution. The 1-(imidazol-1-yl)-3-propanol (oil) obtained after reduction with lithium aluminium hydride is allowed to react with ethyl bromoacetate in dimethyl formamide in the presence of sodium hydride to form 6-(imidazol-1-yl)-3-oxa-hexanoic acid ethyl ester (oil) which is subsequently saponified with 3N hydrochloric acid to form the desired acid.
