To a solution of 4-benzyl-1H-imidazole (example 110C) (1.23 g, 7.78 mmoles) in ACN (20 mL) are added K2CO3 (1.29 g, 9.34 mmoles), Cs2CO3 (253 mg, 0.778 mmole) and methanesulfonic acid phenethyl ester (example 4D) (1.86 g, 9.34 mmole). The reaction mixture is heated at reflux overnight, then cooled to room temperature, filtered, cake washed with ACN and filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica gel chromatography using (toluene:acetone) (90:10) to give 4-benzyl-1-phenethyl-imidazole.
