Procedure

To solution of 4-azidomethyl-5-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-imidazole (1.22 g) in ethanol (50 ml) was added 10% Pd/C (0.10 g). The reaction mixture was hydrogenated at room temperature and 1.1 bar for 30 minutes, the catalyst was filtered off over a pad of celite. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness under high vacuum to obtain C-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-methylamine (1.06 g) as a light yellow foam which was sufficiently pure to be used directly in the next step.
