Procedure

2-{4-[4-(6-methoxy(3-pyridyl))-2-methylimidazolyl]butyl}-isoindole-1,3-dione. To a solution of 2-methoxy-5-(2-methylimidazol-4-yl)pyridine (5.0 g, 26.4 mmoles) in DMF (100 ml) was added potassium carbonate (18.3 g, 132 mmoles) and N-(4-bromobutyl)phthalimide (8.97 g, 31.7 mmoles) at room temperature under dry conditions. The solution was left stirring at room temperature for 72 hours. The reaction was filtered and the resulting clear solution was dumped onto ice (1 L). The precipitate was filtered and rinsed with water (2×200 ml) and was pumped on for 1 hour. The material was than rinsed with diethyl ether (7×200 ml) and than was pumped on to yield to yield 2-14-[4-(6-methoxy(3-pyridyl))-2-methylimidazolyl]butyl}-isoindole-1,3-dione (4.1 g, 48%).
