Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-2-nitrobenzonitrile (20.0 g) and imidazole (22.3 g) in DMA (150 ml) was heated at 140° C. for 6 hours. The mixture was evaporated and the residue was triturated with water to give 5-(1-imidazolyl)-2-nitrobenzonitrile (25.3 g); NMR Spectrum: (CD3SOCD3) 7.20 (d, 1H), 8.05 (t, 1H), 8.28 (m, 1H), 8.62 (m, 2H), 8.51 (d, 1H);
