Participants

Reaction Steps

Imidazole (0.70 g, 0.013 mol) and methyl α,α-dimethyl-4-fluoro-γ-oxobenzene butanoate (2.85 g, 0.012 mol) are dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (12.0 ml) in which freshly pulverized potassium carbonate (5.80 g, 0.042 mol) is suspended. The resulting mixture is stirred and heated at 100°-110° for 12 hours. The mixture is then cooled to room temperature and poured into 100 ml of ice water and stirred for ten minutes. The solid is filtered to give 2.14 g of methyl α,α-dimethyl-4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-γ-oxobenzene butanoate, mp 89°-93° C.
