4-Iodo-2-methyl-1H-imidazole (1.0 g, 4.8 mmol) was dissolved in 10 mL of DMF. Trifluoroethyl p-toluenesulfonate (4.89 g, 19.2 mmol) and cesium carbonate (1.57 g, 4.8 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred for 18 h in a 50° C. oil bath. The reaction was cooled and taken up in ethyl acetate and water. The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted twice more with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. After evaporation, the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 0.6 g (43%) of 4-iodo-2-methyl-1-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-1H-imidazole. (M+H)+=291.
