Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 5-bromo-1-n-butyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (0,10 g, 0.37 mmol), 2-methoxymethoxy-4methoxyphenylboronic acid (0.16 g, 0.73 mmol), sodium carbonate (0.08 g, 0.73 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(0) (0.04 g) in 12 mL of toluene/ethanol/water (10/1/1) was stirred at reflux for 24 h. After an aqueous work up, extracting with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL), the combined organic extracts were washed with brine and dried (Na2SO4). After removing the solvent under reduced pressure, flash column chromatography (1:1 ethyl acetate/hexane) of the residue afforded the title compound as an oil (0.06 g, 46%). 1H NMR (250 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.53 (s, 1H), 7.09 (d, 1H), 6.75 (d, 1H), 6.60 (dd, 1H), 5.05 (q, 2H), 4.21 (q, 2H), 3.85 (s, 3H) 3.80 (t, 2H), 3.30 (s, 3H) 1.60 (quintet, 2H), 1.30 (m, 5H), 0.80 (t, 3H).
