Reaction of 2‐(1‐chloro‐2,2‐dimethylpropyl)‐1‐methyl‐1 H ‐irnidazoles with diethyl methylmalonate in the presence of NaH gave a normal S N product, 2‐[(1,1‐diethoxycarbonylethyl)‐2,2‐dimethylpropyl]‐1‐methyl‐1 H ‐imidazole (2a) , and two tele ‐reaction products, 5‐(1,1‐diethoxycarbonylethyl)‐1‐methyl‐2‐(2,2‐dimethylpropyl)‐1 H ‐imidazole (3a) and trans ‐4,5‐di‐(1,1‐diethoxycarbonylethyl)‐4,5‐dihydro‐1‐methyl‐2‐(2,2‐dimethylpropyl)‐1 H ‐imidazole (4a) in 5, 17 and 70% yields, respectively. The scope and mechanism of this reaction are discussed.
