Procedure

1.8 g of sodium hydride (50% in white oil) is added in incremental portions to a solution of 10.5 g of 4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazole in 50 ml of absolute dimethylformamide. The mixture is agitated for another 30 minutes and then 5.35 g of methyl iodide in 50 ml of dimethylformamide is dropped thereto. After 60 minutes, the mixture is poured into ice water, the product taken up in ethyl acetate, the organic solution dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue is recrystallized from benzene, thus obtaining 9.59 g of 4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylimidazole, mp 122°-123°.
