A mixture of 2-n-butyl-1-[(5-carbomethoxy-2-thienyl)methyl]imidazol-5-carboxaldehyde (0.5 g, 1.66 mmol), ethyl 2-carboxy-3-(2-thienyl)propionate (1.14 g, 4.99 mmol), piperidine (0.155 g, 1.83 mmol), 0.5 ml of pyridine in 50 ml of benzene were refluxed for 18 hours under argon in the presence of a Dean-Stark trap. The crude product was flash chromatographed over silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (1:1) to give 0.474 g (49%) of ethyl (E)-3-[2-n-butyl-1-{(5-carbomethoxy-2-thienyl)methyl}-1H-imidazol-5-yl]-2-(2-thienyl)methyl-2propenoate.
