Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,5-dimethyl-4-imidazolecarboxylic acid (1.4 g), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (1.93 g), and N-hydroxybenzotriazole (1.49 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (14 ml) was stirred at 0° C. for 15 minutes. A solution of (2E,4E)- and (2Z,4E)-4-methyl-2,4-heptadien-1-ylamine (1.79 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (6 ml) was added dropwise to the solution over a period of 10 minutes. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and then at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (3% methanol-chloroform) to give N-[(2E,4E)- and (2Z,4E)-4-methyl-2,4-heptadien-1-yl]-2,5-dimethyl-4-imidazolecarboxamide (1.6 g) as an oil.
