Procedure

In a 750 ml, three-necked flask fitted with a magnetic stirrer under inert atmosphere, S-ethyl 4-cyano-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-5-carbothioate x85 (8 g, 0.041 mol) is dissolved in 400 ml of acetone. Pd on charcoal (1.6 g) is added and the mixture is cooled to 0° C. Triethylsilane (13.1 ml, 0.082 mol) is added dropwise and the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 h. The reaction is monitored by NMR. Three additional portions of triethylsilane (0.041 mol, 0.041 mol and 0.0205 mol) are added over a period of 14 h, 17 h and 19 h respectively while stirring at 0° C. The mixture is filtered on Celite after complete consumption of starting product. The solvent is evaporated and the residue is purified twice by chromatography on silicagel (Hexane/AcOEt:6/4 (v/v)) to afford 3 g of 5-formyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carbonitrile x86.
