title: Convenient procedures for synthesis of ciproxifan, a histamine H3-receptor antagonist.
abstract: Cyclopropyl 4-(3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)propyloxy)phenyl methanone (ciproxifan) is a novel reference antagonist for the histamine H3 receptor. Despite the former Mitsunobu reaction the actual key reaction for preparation based on SNAr for acylated fluoroaromatics with an additional cyclization in a one-pot procedure needs no chromatographic purification steps and results in good yields.
