Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a DMF (50 mL) solution of 4-fluoro-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (3.00 g) and 4-methylimidazole (3.307 g), potassium carbonate (4.05 g) was added and the reaction mixture was agitated at 100° C. overnight. The obtained reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, water and ethyl acetate were added to the residue, and the organic layer was partitioned. The organic layer was washed with a saturated saline solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (elution solvent: hexane-ethyl acetate system), and 3-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde (856 mg) and 3-methoxy-4-(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde (44 mg) were obtained.
