The development of a practical and scaleable synthesis of 1-(6,7-dimethoxy-2-naphthyl)-1-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-2-methylpropan-1-ol (2) is described. Racemate 2 was synthesized from commercially available 4(5)-imidazolecarboxyaldehyde (7) in three steps excluding chromatography. 4(5)-Cyanoimidazole (10) was prepared from 7 in good yield in a one-pot reaction. A Grignard reaction of cyanoimidazole 10 with isopropylmagnesium bromide followed by the addition of aqueous sulfuric acid formed acylimidazole 9. The final racemate 2 was obtained by the direct Grignard reaction of acylimidazole 9 without N-protection. This process was accomplished efficiently to produce 2 in 70% overall yield from 7 in a large-scale synthesis.
