Reaction Steps

To a suspension of benzyl 4,5-diphenyl-1-methylimidazole-2-carboxylate (0.43 g, 1.2 mmol) from Example 1, Step C in methanol (10 mL) was added 20% palladium on carbon (50% w/w water, 110 mg) and the mixture was hydrogenated on a Parr shaker at 40 psi for 1 hr. The reaction was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to afford the title compound as a white solid. (Note: The title compound readily decarboxylates as the acid.)
