Triethylamine → 5-(Chloromethyl)-1-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)-1H-imidazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

45 mg (0.18 mmol) of the compound from Example 36A together with 27 mg (0.26 mmol) of triethylamine were dissolved in 1 ml of toluene, and 25 mg (0.21 mmol) of thionyl chloride were added dropwise at RT. The mixture was stirred at RT for 1 h. Under reduced pressure, the reaction mixture was freed from all volatile components. This gave 48 mg (99% of theory) of the target compound, which was reacted further without any further purification.
