Procedure

(1-propyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol (535 mg, 3.11 mmol) was first treated with SOCl2 (3 ml) in CH2Cl2 (5 ml) at 35° C. for 2 hrs. The solvent was removed to get a crude 4-(chloromethyl)-1-propyl-1H-imidazole. Then following General Procedure A, the title compound (587 mg, 67%) was prepared from 2-amino-4-chlorobenzenethiol (744 mg, 4.66 mmol), 4-(chloromethyl)-1-propyl-1H-imidazole, K2CO3 (2.1 g, 15.54 mmol) in DMF (10 ml).
