Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chlorophenacyl bromide (310 mg, 1.33 mmol), tert-butylcarbamidine hydrochloride (210 mg, 1.53 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.420 mg, 3.04 mmol), and acetonitrile (6 mL) was refluxed at 90° C. for 3 hours. After the mixture was left to cool to room temperature, an aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added thereto, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Then, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 2-tert-butyl-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1H-imidazole (132 mg, 0.56 mmol, yield: 42%).
