Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(2-propynyl)-1H-imidazole (2.5 g, 0.023 mol), pyrrolidine (2.0 g, 0.026 mol), paraformaldehyde (0.85 , 0.028 mol) and cuprous chloride (30 mg) in dioxane (20 mL) was heated at 50° C. for 4 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residual oil was dissolved in chloroform, filtered, and chromatographed on silica gel to give 2.99 g of 1-[4-(pyrrolidinyl)-2-butynyl]-1H-imidazole as an oil.
