Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Butyl-5-chloro-3H-imidazole-4-carbaldehyde (9.9 g, 53.3 mmol), 4′-bromomethylbiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid t-butyl ester (18.5 g, 53.3 mmol), and K2CO3 (7.4 g, 53.3 mmol) were combined in DMF (200 mL) and stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was quenched with water, extracted with EtOAc, washed with saturated aqueous NaCl, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude mixture was purified by flash chromatography (0-40% EtOAc:hexanes) to yield 21.5 g of intermediate (4a).
