Procedure
To a solution of (E)-ethyl 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(2,3,6-trifluorostyryl)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (17) (60 mg, 0.16 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was added Pd/C (10% Degussa type, 10 mg). A balloon of hydrogen gas was attached and the reaction was evacuated and back-filled with hydrogen three times. The reaction was stirred under a hydrogen balloon overnight at room temperature, filtered through a pad of celite and concentrated in vacuo to give ethyl 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(2,3,6-trifluorophenethyl)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (18).
