Procedure

Add 4-[4-(4-Fluoro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (16.03 g; 1.00 equiv; 38.77 mmoles) in 40 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide to a solution of potassium hydroxide (1.5 equiv; 58.16 mmoles; 3.26 g) in 200 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide. After 5 min at room temperature, add methyl iodide (1.1 equiv; 42.65 mmoles; 2.66 mL) in one portion. Stir at room temperature for two hours, then pour the mixture into ice water. Filter the solid, wash with water, and dry under reduced pressure. Triturate the solid in hot heptane, filter and dried under reduced pressure to give 4-[4-(4-Fluoro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (8.7 g; 52.49% yield) as a white solid.
