Catalyst preparation: Cu(II)-NaY zeolite was prepared by ion-exchange of zeolite NaY (10 g) with a solution of copper(II) acetate (2.86 g, 15.75 mmol in deionized water (150 mL) at r.t. for 24 h. The material was recovered by filtration, dried (110 °C) and calcined (550 °C) in a flow of air. AAS analysis showed that the zeolite contained 6.84 wt% of Cu.

Typical Experimental Procedure: A mixture of 4-bromo-toluene (1 mmol), imidazole (1.2 mmol), K₂CO₃ (2 mmol) and Cu(II)-NaY (100 mg) in DMF (3 mL) was heated to 120 °C for the specified time (Table [2] ). The progress of the reaction was monitored by GC or TLC. The reaction mixture was filtered to separate the catalyst and the filtrate was quenched with aq NaHCO₃ and the product extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to afford pure 1-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-imidazole.
