Bromination of N-(4-oxopentyl)phthalimide (3) leads to isomeric bromoketones 2a and 2e, which undergo cyclisation with formamidine in liquid ammonia to yield homohistamine (1a) and 5-methylhistamine (1e).Similarly racemic α-methyl- (1b) and 2-methylhomohistamine (1c) are synthesized.The resolution of 1b is achieved using (+)- and (-)-di-O-(4-toluoyl)tartaric acid. 1 are intermediates in the synthesis of impromidine like, H2-histaminergic compounds. - Key words: Bromination of Methylketones, Halomethylketones, Histamine H2-Agonists, Homohistamine, Chiral Aminoalkylimidazoles
