Reaction Steps

Hydrochloric acid in ethanol (35%, 150 ml) was added to 4-cyanomethyl-5-methyl-2-phenylimidazole (20.5 g) and heated to reflux temperature. After 1 h the reaction mixture was poured into water (400 ml) and NaOH was added (pH>8), followed by extraction with dichloromethane (3 times). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness in vacuo.
