Participants

Reaction Steps

In analogy to example 5b, 2-(4-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)-5-nitro-benzonitrile (+regioisomer) was reacted with Eschenmoser's salt in DMF for 16 h at 90° C. Evaporation of the solvent, aqueous workup and chromatography afforded the title compound as a yellow oil that was sufficiently pure to be used in the next step (yield: 35%). MS: m/e=286.1 [M+H]+.
