Procedure

In a 50 ml, three-necked flask fitted with a magnetic stirrer under inert atmosphere, ethylbromoacetate (560 μl, 4.95 mmol) is added to a solution of 4-propyl-1-[(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]pyrrolidin-2-one x45 (1.5 g, 3.3 mmol) in 10 ml of acetonitrile. The mixture is stirred at 40° C. for 3 h, 1.65 mmol of ethylbromoacetate is added and stirring is pursued for 48 h at room temperature. The mixture is concentrated in vacuo, 20 ml of a 1/1 mixture of acetic acid and water is added and the mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture is filtered, the solvent is evaporated and the residue is dissolved in 25 ml of diluted HCl (pH 1). The aqueous phase is washed with CH2Cl2, basified to pH 10 by addition of solid Na2CO3 and extracted three times with CH2Cl2. The combined organic phases are dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness. The crude product is purified by tin layer chromatography on preparative plates (CH2Cl2/EtOH: 90/10 (v/v)) to give 275 mg of ethyl {5-[(2-oxo-4-propylpyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl]-1H-imidazol-1-yl}acetate (30%). Ethyl {5-[(2-oxo-4-propylpyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl]-1H-imidazol-1-yl}acetate hydrochloride x49 is obtained by treatment with a solution of HCl in Et2O and recrystallization from CH3CN/AcOEt.
