Procedure

To a solution of 1.00 g of 1-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-2-butyl-4-chloro-5-hydroxymethylimidazole in 15 mL of DMF at 25° was added 0.185 g of sodium methylate, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 25° for 0.25 hours. To this mixture was then added a solution of 0.80 g of α-bromo-o-tolunitrile in 5 mL of DMF. The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° for 16 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate. This solution was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography on silica gel (elution: 10-25% ethyl acetate/benzene) provided 0.76 g of 1-[4-(2-cyanobenzyloxy)benzyl]-2-butyl-4-chloro-5-hydroxymethylimidazole; NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): δ7.73-7.59 (m, 3H); 7.44 (m, 1H); 6.96 (s, 4H); 5.23 (s, 2H); 5.14 (s, 2H); 4.50 (d, 2H); 2.57 (t, 2H); 1.66 (quint., 2H); 1.33 (sext., 2H); 0.87 (t, 3H).
