Chen, Tao published the artcileSynthesis of 4(5)-chloro-2-cyano-5(4)-(4-methylphenyl)imidazole, Product Details of C11H8ClN3, the publication is Huaxue Shiji (2015), 37(6), 571-573, database is CAplus.
Compound 4-chloro-2-cyano-5-(4-methylphenyl)imidazole was synthesized from 4-methylacetophenone. It started from oxidation using selenium dioxide and cyclization by hydroxylamine and glyoxal solution to give 4-hydro-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2-oxyiminomethylimidazole-3-oxide as the key intermediate. Then, the process was followed by dehydration and chlorination with thionyl chloride and N,N-dimethylformamide. The overall yield was 69.0% (based on 4′-methylacetophenone).
