Procedure
To a mixture of 850 mg (5.44 mmol) of 3-methyl-2-methylsulfanyl-3H-imidazole-4-carbaldehyde and 1.34 g (7.00 mmol) of dimethyl 2-oxo-1-diazopropylphosphinate in 15 mL of MeOH was added 1.52 g (11.0 mmol) of K2CO3. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 28 hours. The mixture was diluted with saturated K2CO3 (10 mL) and and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×75 mL). The combined extracts were dried over MgSO4, concentrated, and chromatographed (0 to 100% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the 5-ethynyl-1-methyl-2-methylsulfanyl-1H-imidazole (600 mg, 72%) as a colorless liquid.
