Procedure

3-(1-benzyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)oxetan-3-ol. A solution of 1-benzyl-4-iodo-1H-imidazole (6.0 g, 21.12 mmol) in DCM (80 mL) was treated with EtMgBr (3M in ether, 7.74 mL, 23.23 mmol) at rt and the mixture was stirred at RT overnight. The mixture was then poured onto saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution and extracted with DCM. The combined org. layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash-column chromatography over silicagel (Biotage Isolera Four, eluent: 1% MeOH in DCM for 3 min, then from 1% MeOH in DCM to 5% MeOH in DCM in 25 min, followed by 5% MeOH in DCM for 6 min). The residue was crystallized from EtOAc to yield the title compound as white crystals (2.35 g). UPLC-MS: MS 231.1 (M+H+); UPLC rt 0.43 min.
