Synthesis
The free-radical halogenation of ethyl 4-methylcinnamate (1) with N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of benzoyl peroxide gives ethyl 4-bromomethylcinnamate (2).{{cite patent | inventor = Cragoe Jr EJ, Bicking JB | title = nterphenylene 11,12-secoprostaglandins | country = US | number = 4175203 | gdate = 20 November 1979 | assign = to Merck and Co Inc | url = https://patents.google.com/patent/US4175203 }} Alkylation of imidazole (3) with this material gives the ethyl ester (4) of the drug, which is saponified to give ozagrel.{{cite journal | vauthors = Iizuka K, Akahane K, Momose D, Nakazawa M, Tanouchi T, Kawamura M, Ohyama I, Kajiwara I, Iguchi Y, Okada T, Taniguchi K, Miyamoto T, Hayashi M | title = Highly selective inhibitors of thromboxane synthetase. 1.
