Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 2-bromo-3-methyl-3H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (800 mg) were added 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (1.04 g), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (422 mg), and tetrahydrofuran (9 ml), saturated sodium carbonate water (3 ml), and water (1.5 ml) as solvents, and stirred at 120° C. for 30 minutes under microwave radiation. After completion of the reaction, to the reaction solution 6 was added water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated. The obtained residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate) to give 3-methyl-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (980 mg) as a yellow solid.
