Participants

Reaction Steps

In analogy to example 5b, 5-methyl-2-(4-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)-benzonitrile was reacted with Eschenmoser's salt in DMF for 4 h at 90° C. Evaporation of the solvent, aqueous workup and chromatography afforded the title compound as an oil that solidifies on standing (yield: 64%). MS: m/e=255.2 [M+H]+.
