In a 100 ml, three-necked flask fitted with a magnetic stirrer, under inert atmosphere, ethyl iodide (1.1 ml, 0.0136 mol) is dissolved in Et2O (25 ml). At −70° C., a 1.5 M solution of t-BuLi in pentane (17 ml, 0.026 mol) is added dropwise. The mixture is stirred 0.3 h at this temperature and 0.75 h at room temperature. A solution of 1-trityl-1H-imidazole-4-carbaldehyde x43 (2 g, 0.00591 mole) in THF (25 ml) is added dropwise at 0° C. The mixture is stirred for 1 h and poured onto ice. HCl is added until the pH is slightly acid (pH: 3-5) and the aqueous phase is extracted twice with Et2O. The combined organic phases are dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness. The crude product is purified by chromatography on silicagel (CH2Cl2/MeOH/NH4OH: 95/4.5/0.5 (v/v/v)) to afford 1.21 g of 1-(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)propan-1-ol x88.
