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 hydoxide (17.4 ml, 17.4 mmol) was stirred at RT for 18 hr. 1M HCl (17.4 ml) was added and the THF was removed by evaporation in vacuo. The aqueous solution was lyophilised to afford the titled compound containing lithium chloride as a white solid.
