Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-imidazole (217 mg, 1.48 mmol) and cesium carbonate (875 mg, 2.69 mmol) in dimethylformamide (5 mL) was stirred for 30 minutes. 4-(2-Chloro-ethyl)-morpholine hydrochloride (250 mg, 1.34 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated to 50° C. After heating overnight the reaction was concentrated by rotary evaporation. The residue was suspended in a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated by rotary evaporation. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using gradient elution of dichloromethane, methanol to afford 4-[2-(4-Bromo-imidazol-1-yl)-ethyl]-morpholine (148 mg, 42%).
