Procedure

The crude residue, 4-[5-(2-hydroxyethyl)imidazol-1-ylmethyl]-3-nitrobenzonitrile, is then taken up in CH2Cl2 (10 mL), cooled to 0° C., and treated with Et3N (0.58 mL, 4.19 mmol). To this solution is added methanesulfonyl chloride (0.13 mL, 1.68 mmol). After 0.5 h the solution is diluted with CH2Cl2 (10 mL) and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (20 mL). The organic layer is further extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×20 mL) and the combined layers are dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to give crude methanesulfonic acid 2-[3-(4-cyano-2-nitrobenzyl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]ethyl ester. A suspension of the methanesulfonic acid 2-[3-(4-cyano-2-nitrobenzyl)-3H-imidazol-4-yl]-ethyl ester residue, DMF (17 mL), sodium iodide (0.630 g, 4.19 mmol), Et3N (0.58 mL, 4.19 mmol), and potassium carbonate (0.580 g, 4.19 mmol) is heated to 60° C. for 1 hour and then 75° C. for an additional 2 h. At that point the suspension is concentrated and diluted with CH2Cl2 (20 mL) and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (20 mL). The organic layer is further extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×20 mL) and the combined layers are dried (Na2SO4). The residue is then purified via HPLC (reversed phase, CH3CN/H2O) to give 4-(6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-5-yl)-3-nitrobenzonitrile as a solid.
