Reaction Steps

2-Propylimidazole (5.5 g), ethyl 2-bromopropionate (9.95 g) and potassium carbonate (12.4 g) were stirred in refluxing acetonitrile (100 ml) for 72 hours. The suspension was allowed to cool, filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure, yielding the title compound as an off-white foam, 9.2 g [88%].
