Abstract

AbstractCondensation of 2‐methylimidazole with arylaldehyde 4 and subsequent reduction of the intermediate 5 with Raney‐nickel gave 2‐[2‐(2,4‐dichlorophenyl)ethyl]imidazole 2. Compound 11 was prepared from compound 10 similarly. Reaction of compound 2 with methylsulfonyl chloride gave 1‐methylsulfonyl‐2‐[2‐(2,4‐dichlorophenyl)ethyl]imidazole (7a) in moderate yield. Nitration of compound 11 (Ar = 3‐pyridyl) gave the desired nitro compounds 14 and 15.
