Procedure
To a solution of 2-bromo-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carbonitrile (0.55 g, 1.8 mmol) (as prepared in the previous step) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) (6 mL) at −40° C. was added drop wise a solution of 2 M isopropylmagnesium chloride (i-PrMgC1) in THF (1 mL). The reaction was allowed to stir for 10 min at −40° C. and then cooled to −78° C., and ethyl cyanoformate (0.30 g, 3.0 mmol) was added. The reaction allowed to attain RT and stirred for 1 h. The reaction was quenched with satd aq NH4Cl, diluted with EtOAc (20 mL), washed with brine (2×20 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and then concentrated. The title compound was eluted from a 20-g SPE cartridge (silica) with 30% EtOAc/hexane to give 0.40 g (74%) of a colorless oil: Mass spectrum (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C13H21N3O3Si, 296.1 (M+H). found 296.1.
