Reaction Steps

NaH (7.84 g, 196 mmol of a 60% dispersion in oil) was added portionwise to a solution of 6.18 g (Intermediate 57, 34.5 mmol) of 1-[1-(2-methoxyethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]ethanone in 100 ml dimethylcarbonate. The mixture was heated to 90° C. for 2 hour forming a thick slurry. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was slowly transferred to 1N HCl over ice. The mixture was brought to about pH 7 with NaHCO3, then saturated with NaCl and extracted 4 times with EtOAc. The EtOAc was dried over MgSO4, then concentrated to give an oil that was chromatographed on silica gel (100% DCM followed by gradient elution to 50% EtOAc in DCM) to yield the title compound. MS (ES) (M+H)+: 227 for C10H14N2O4; NMR: 3.18 (s, 3H), 3.61 (m, 5H), 4.07 (s, 2H), 4.52 (m, 2H), 7.24 (s, 1H), 7.61 (s, 1H).
