Conditions

Temperature: -70 °C

Procedure

1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-imidazole (1 g, 0.0054 mol) is dissolved into dry tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) and cooled to -70° C. n-BuLi in hexane (0.0054 mol) is added dropwise into the reaction mixture. After stirring for additional 30 min at -70° C. 3-(4-fluorophenyl)propyl bromide (1.5 g, 0.0069 mol) in THF (10 ml) is added to the mixture and stirig is continued for 2 hours. Then the mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature. Saturted aqueous ammonium chloride solution is added to the mixture, shaked and then the layers are separated. THF-phase is dried and evaporated to dryness. The residue is crystalizd from isopropanol as hydrogen chloride salt. The filtrate is purified by flash chromatography.
