Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the tin derivative 6 (24.79 g, 54.05 mmol) and 2-bromo-1-methyl-1H-imidazole (10.4 g, 64.86 mmol) [McCallum, P. W.; Weavers, R. T.: Grimmet, M. R.; Blackman, A. G.; Aust. J. Chem.; 52; 3; 1999; 159-166.1 in toluene (180 mL) Pd[PPh3]4 (5 g, 4.32 mmol) was added and the mixture was refluxed under nitrogen for 2 days, cooled to room temperature. A precipitate was formed which was collected by filtration, washed with Et2O and dried, to afford the title compound 7 as a grey solid (12.72 g, 94% yield). MS (m/z): 250.0 (M+H).
