Procedure
1H-Imidazol-4-ylacetic acid hydrochloride (5.00 g) was dissolved in ethanol (100 mL). To the solution, thionyl chloride (2.46 mL) was added at room temperature, and the mixture was then heated to reflux for 3.5 hours. The reaction solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. To the residue, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate was then added, and organic matter was extracted five times with methylene chloride. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product of ethyl 1H-imidazol-4-ylacetate (4.10 g).
