Reaction Steps

A solution of [1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-1H-imidazol-5-yl]acetic acid methyl ester (4.44 g, 17.4 mmol ) in THF (100 ml) and 1M lithium hydroxide (17.4 ml, 17.4 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 18 hrs. 1M HCl (17.4 ml) was added and the THF removed by evaporation in vacuo. The aqueous solution was lyophilised to afford the title compound containing lithium chloride as a white solid.
