A mixture of imidazole (15 g, 0.220 mol, 1 eq), triethyl orthoformate (130 g, 146.6 mL, 0.880 mol, 4.0 eq) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (1.17 g, 0.00616 mol, 0.028 eq) was heated at 145°-175° C. until no more ethanol was distillable from the reaction mixture. The excess orthoformate was removed in vacuo, solid sodium bicarbonate (1.17 g, 0.011 mol) was added and the residue was vacuum distilled to give the title compound (23.6 g, 68 %). b.p. 89°-91° C./0.3 mm Hg.
