Reaction Steps

NaH (60%, 620 mg) was added to a solution of 2-methyl-1H-imidazole (1.06 g, 12.95 mmol) in DMF (8 mL). After stirring for 15 minutes, 1-bromo-2-methoxyethane (2.16 g, 15.54 mmol) in DMF (1 mL) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at 80° C. under microwave irradiation for 60 minutes. Water (1 mL) was added and all solvents were removed by high vacuum. EtOAc was added to the residue, stirred for 15 minutes, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a colourless oil (604 mg, 33%) that was used directly in the next step.
