Reaction Steps

To remove protecting groups the amount of 155 mg (0.38 mmol) 2-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyl)-4-(1-phenyl-propyl)-imidazole-1-sulfonic acid dimethylamide was dissolved in 10 ml 1.5N hydrochloric acid and refluxed for 1 h. The cooled solution was adjusted to pH>8 with 25% aqueous ammonia and the solution was extracted with dichloromethane (2 times). The combined organic layers are dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, dichloromethane/methanol/aqueous conc. ammonia=90:10:1) to yield 71 mg (99%) rac-4-(1-phenyl-propyl)-1H-imidazole as off-white solid: MS (ISP): 187.1 ((M+H)+.).
