Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Acetyl-1-isopropyl-2,4-dimethylimidazole (Method 8; 3g, 16.5 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture DMF.DMA (100 ml) and the mixture heated under reflux, under an atmosphere of nitrogen, for 18 hours. The volatiles were evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash silica chromatography DCM:MeOH (increasing in polarity from 100:0 to 95:5) to give the title compound (510 mg, 13%) as an orange oil. NMR 1.38 (d, 6H), 2.18 (s, 3H), 2.30 (s, 3H), 2.83 (s, 3H), 3.08 (s, 3H), 4.72 (q, 1H), 5.21 (d, 1H), 7.46 (d, 1H); m/z 236
