Reaction Steps

Vigorously stir a 60° C. solution of tert-butyl 5-(5-benzyloxy-5-oxo-pent-1-ynyl)imidazole-1-carboxylate (0.17 g; 1.0 equiv; 0.48 mmoles) and palladium (10% on carbon; 0.030 g; 0.014 mmoles) in methanol (13 mL) under 1 atmosphere of hydrogen for 16 hours. Filter and concentrate to afford the desired 5-(3-tert-butoxycarbonylimidazol-4-yl)pentanoic acid (0.128 g; 99%) as a white solid: MS (m/z): 213(M-t-Bu+1).
