Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (0.35 mL) followed by one drop of DMF was added to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid (intermediate 3) (732 mg) suspended in anhydrous DCM (6 mL). After stirring for 1 hour under inert atmosphere the mixture was evaporated to dryness and used immediately without further purification (800 mg, 100%).
