Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-(2-phenyl-but-1-enyl)-1-trityl-1H-imidazole (260 mg) at r.t. in methanol (5 ml) and dichloromethane (2 ml) under an argon atmosphere was added 10% Pd/C (26 mg). The mixture was then stirred at r.t. under a hydrogen atmosphere for 17 hours. The catalyst was filtered off and washed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel; gradient: CH2Cl2→CH2Cl2/MeOH 9:1 to give 4-(2-phenyl-butyl)-1H-imidazole (18 mg) as colorless gum. MS (ISP): 201.3 ([M+H]+)
