Procedure

1-Fluoro-4-methyl-2-nitrobenzene 239 mg, ethyl 3-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)propanoate 252 mg, potassium carbonate 415 mg and N,N-dimethylacetamide 10 mL were stirred at 100° C. for 11.5 hours, and then at 130° C., for 6 hours. The reaction liquid was diluted with diethyl ether, washed with water and saturated brine by the order stated, and dried over magnesium sulfate. Distilling the solvent off under reduced pressure, the residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate) to provide 422 mg of the title compound.
