Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-(3-methyl-2-phenyl-but-1-enyl)-1-trityl-1H-imidazole (87 mg) at r.t. in methanol (4 ml) and CH2Cl2 (1 ml) under an argon atmosphere was added the 10% Pd/C (10 mg). The mixture was then stirred at r.t. under a hydrogen atmosphere for 38 hours. The catalyst was filtered off and washed with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated to leave 4-(3-methyl-2-phenyl-butyl)-1-trityl-1H-imidazole (82 mg) of an off-white sticky solid which was used in the next step without further purification.
