Reaction Steps

A mixture of pyridine (15 ml), triphenyl phosphite (1.55 g, 5 mmole), imidazole (0.68 g, 10 mmole) and triphenylmethanol (2.08 g, 8 mmole) was refluxed for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was treated in the same manner as in Example 11 to give 2.05 g of 1-triphenylmethylimidazole as colorless needles. Yield, 82.7%. M.P., 218°-221° C.
