To the solution of 1-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yl)-1H-imidazole (7.6 g, 50 mmol) in dry THF (500 ml) at −78° C. was added n-BuLi solution (2.5 M in hexanes, 25 mL, 60 mmol, 1.2 equiv). The reaction mixture was slowly warmed to 0° C. and stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. After it was cooled to −78° C., 2,2-dimethyloxirane (7.2 g, 100 mmol) was added and it was stirred for 1 h. The reaction mixture was warmed to r.t. slowly and stirred at r.t. overnight. MeOH was added and the reaction mixture was concentrated by a rotary evaporator. Water (30 ml) was added and it was extracted with CH2Cl2 (15 ml×3). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated, and purified by neutral Al2O3 column chromatography (CH2Cl2: MeOH=100:1) to give 8 gm of 2-methyl-1-[1-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-propan-2-ol (75%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.04 (s, 1H), 6.95 (s, 1H), 5.13 (dd, J=2.6, 9.5 Hz, 1H), 4.05-4.02 (m, 1H), 3.68-3.62 (m, 1H), 2.82 (d, J=12.0 Hz, 2H), 2.01-1.89 (m, 4H), 1.92 (m, 1H), 1.69-1.60 (m, 3H), 1.24 (m, 6H)
