Reaction Steps

In the manner described in Example 1 126 g (1 mol) of 2-methylimidazole-4(5)-carboxylic acid was treated with dimethyl sulfate and the product was converted into its methyl ester for characterization. This gave 103.3 g of methyl 1,2-dimethylimidazole-5-carboxylate, m.p. 38°-40° C., an overall yield of 67%.
