Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (400 mg, 0.003 mol), 2-iodobenzonitrile (800 mg, 0.0035 mol), L-proline (0.073 g, 0.00063 mol), potassium carbonate (0.88 g, 0.0063 mol) and copper(I) iodide (0.060 g, 0.00032 mol) in DMSO (8 mL) was allowed to stir and heated at 90° C. in a sealed tube overnight. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to afford methyl 1-(2-cyanophenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate. LCMS: (FA) ES+ 228.1
