As .js files are not parsed by asp.net mvc view engine, you simply cannot use any c# code in there. I would suggest using unobtrusive approach, something like this

And in javascript, use value of data-request-url

$(function(){
   $('#loader').click(function(){
       var url = $(this).data('request-url');
       alert(url);
   });
});
