Reaction Steps

4,4-Dimethyl-1-pentene (59 g, 0.6 mol) was added to a 10° C. suspension of nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate (66 g, 0.56 mmol) in acetonitrile (600 mL) After stirring vigorously at ambient temperature for 30 minutes, acetonitrile was removed in vacuo to afford 4-(2,2-dimethylpropyl)-2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-ol which was used in the subsequent step without further purification.
