HCID 97953581-(4-Cyanobenzyl)-5-(chloromethyl)imidazole

Procedure

A solution of 1-(4-Cyanobenzyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-imidazole (1.0 g, 4.70 mmol), in thionyl chloride (5 ml), was stirred at 70° C. for 16 hrs. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the resulting solid suspended in CH2Cl2, collected by filtration and dried in vacuo. The material was sufficiently pure to be used without furthur purification.
