Procedure

To a suspension of ethyl 2-mercapto-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (4.00 g, 23.3 mmol) in acetone (30 mL) at room temperature, MeI (6 mL, 96.3 mmol) was added. During first 10 min of stirring, the suspension became clear, then it turned cloudy as product began to precipitate out. After being stirred at room temperature overnight, the precipitate was collected, dried on vacuum to give ethyl 2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (3.47 g).
