4-fluoronitrobenzene (32.3 g; 0.229 mol) and 4-methyl-1H-imidazole (25 g; 0.3 mol) are mixed at r.t., to this stirred mixture K2CO3 (44 g; 0.3 mol) is added. The reaction mixture is then heated at 120° C. overnight, then cooled at r.t. and poured in water (2 L), the resulting suspension is filtered and washed with water. The obtained solid is dried at 60° C. and recrystallized from ethyl acetate (600 mL), to provide the title compound as a yellow solid (22.5 g; 48.3%). The regioisomer, 4-(5-methyl-1H-imidazol-1yl)nitrobenzene remains in the crystallization mother liquor along with a certain amount of the titled product (TLC: hexane/AcOEt 3:2). C10H9N3O2, MW 203.2.
