Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine tert-butyl 4-(4-bromo-1-(2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate (5.00 g, 10.91 mmol), tetrahydrofuran (150 mL), and 1 M aqueous hydrochloric acid (50 mL); let stir overnight at room temperature. Dilute with ethyl acetate. Wash with excess 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide, followed by saturated aqueous sodium chloride. Dry the organics over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filter, and concentrate in vacuo to give the title compound as a yellow foam (3.84 g, 94%). MS (ES) m/z=376 [M]+.
