Sodium hydride (0.6 g, 50% suspension in mineral oil) was added cautiously to a stirred and cooled solution of imidazole (0.79 g) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml). After the initial vigorous reaction had subsided the mixture was heated to 100° C. for 10 minutes and then stirred at room temperature for a further 1 hour. Ethyl 4-(3-chloropropoxy)benzoate (2.8 g) was added over 2 minutes and the resulting mixture was heated on a steam bath for 6 hours and then cooled. Water (1 ml) was added to decompose any unreacted sodium hydride and the solution was evaporated and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel. Elution with chloroform gave mineral oil and small amounts of impurity. Elution with chloroform/methanol (20:1) gave the pure 1-[3-(4-ethoxycarbonylphenoxy)propyl]imidazole as an oil on evaporation of the solvent.
