2-(CHLOROMETHYL)-1-METHYL-1H-IMIDAZOLE

To 1.12 g of 1-methyl-2-imidazolemethanol are added dropwise 1.8 ml of thionyl chloride at 0° C. ^-ChloromethyM-methyl-I H-imidazole] (14)To a solution of compound 13 (250 mg, 2.23 mmol) in chloroform (5 mL) was added thionyl chloride (500 mg, 4.20 mmol) and refluxed for 3 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to come to room temperature and concentrated. The reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (30 mL) and concentrated. The crude product 14 (200 mg, 67percent) was characterized by GC-MS and it was used as such for the next step.
