A mixture of 5-[2-(carbethoxy)ethenyl]-1,4-dimethyl-2-(4-methoxybenzylthio)imidazole (600 mg, 1.7 mmole) and potassium azodicarboxylate (29 g, 0.17 mole) in methanol (50 ml) was stirred and treated with acetic acid (7 g, 0.12 mole). The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, partitioned between methylene chloride and 5% aqueous sodium carbonate, and the organic phase was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluted with ethyl acetate to give 5-[2-(carbethoxy)ethyl]-1,4-dimethyl-2-(4-methoxybenzylthio)imidazole (mp 63° C.).
