A cooled (−78° C.) yellow solution of 1-(triphenylmethyl)imidazole (25.000 g; 80.542 mmol) in anhydrous THF (750 ml) was treated dropwise (in 55 min.) with a 1.6M solution of butyllithium in hexanes (55.35 ml; 88.560 mmol). After addition, the resulting pink homogeneous solution was further stirred at −78° C., under nitrogen, for 30 min. before a solution of anhydrous DMF (6.8 ml; 88.186 mmol) in anhydrous THF (40 ml) was added dropwise (in 40 min.). The resulting mixture was additionally stirred at −78° C., under nitrogen, for 1 h before aq. sat. NH4Cl (50 ml) was added dropwise. Ether (300 ml) and water (400 ml) were successively added, and this mixture was allowed to warm-up to rt. The yellow organic layer was additionally washed with water (300 ml), dried over anh. MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The crude was purified by FC (DCM/MeOH=30/1) to give the pure product 1-trityl-1H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde as a pale yellow solid which was further dried under HV (20.660 g; 76%). LC-MS: tR=1.03 min.; [M+H]+: no ionisation.
