Participants

Reaction Steps

Through a stirred and refluxing mixture of 5.5 parts of 4-[1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl]phenol and 120 parts of acetonitrile, gaseous bromomethane is bubbled till the solution is clear. Stirring at reflux is continued for 2 hours while gaseous bromomethane is still introduced. The solvent is evaporated and the solid residue is triturated in 2-propanone. The product is filtered off and dried, yielding 7.5 parts of 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-methyl-1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-imidazolium bromide.
