Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.00 g of 10% palladium/carbon and 1.00 g of 1-[(3'-carbomethoxybiphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-2-butyl-4-chloro-5-hydroxymethyl imidazole in 20 mL of methanol was stirred at 25° for five minutes. Hydrogen gas was bubbled into the solution, and the mixture was stirred under H2 (g) (1 atm.) at 25° for 3.5 hours. The mixture was filtered, and the resulting solution concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography (elution: 0-5% methanol/chloroform) furnished 0.33 g of 1-[(3'-carbomethoxybiphenyl-4-yl)methyl]-2-butyl-5-hydroxymethyl imidazole. NMR (200 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ8.20 (s, 1H); 7.98 (d, 2H); 7.65 (t, 1H); 7.41 (A2M2, 4H); 6.80 (s, 1H); 5.30 (s, 2H); 5.12 (t, 1H); 4.37 (d, 2H); 3.90 (s, 3H); 2.52 (t, 2H); 1.51 (quint., 2H); 1.27 (sext., 2H); 0.80 (t, 3H).
