1H-Imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, 4,5-dimethyl ester → dimethyl 1-[3-[4-[2-[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]-4-oxazolylmethoxy]phenyl]propyl]-4,5-imidazoledicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In substantially the same manner as in Working Example 25, 3-[4-[2-[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]-4-oxazolylmethoxy]phenyl]propyl methanesulfonate was allowed to react with dimethyl 4,5-imidazoledicarboxylate to give dimethyl 1-[3-[4-[2-[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]-4-oxazolylmethoxy]phenyl]propyl]-4,5-imidazoledicarboxylate. The yield was 63%. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane gave colorless prisms, mp 85-86° C.
