Procedure

A solution of 1-methyl-2-(triethylsilyl)-1H-imidazole (3.35 g, 17.08 mmol) in THF (50 mL) at −78° C. was treated dropwise with 2.5M tert-butyllithium in pentane (22.4 mL, 17.1 mmol), stirred for 30 minutes, treated dropwise with a solution of 4-cyanobenzaldehyde (2.04 g, 15.56 mmol) in THF (10 mL), and stirred for 1 hour. The mixture was quenched with methanol (4 mL), treated with 1N HCl (40 mL), warmed to room temperature, adjusted to pH 12 with 30% NaOH, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. The concentrate was triturated with 4:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate to provide 2.95 g (89%) of the desired product. MS (DCI/NH3) m/z 214 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.67 (d, 2H), 7.53 (d, 2H), 7.40 (s, 1H), 6.67 (s, 1H), 5.95 (s, 1H), 3.53 (s, 3H).
