Reaktionsschritte

167 g (0.6 mol) of biphenyl-4-yl-phenyl-chloromethane [alternatively named as diphenyl-phenyl-chloromethane or as α-(biphenyl-4-yl)benzyl chloride] and 92 g (0.66 mol) of trimethylsilylimidazole, dissolved in 500 ml of acetonitrile, are heated under reflux for 15 hours. After distilling off the solvent, the crystalline residue is purified by recrystallization from ethyl acetate. 97 g (52% of theory) of (biphenyl-4-yl)-imidazol-1-yl-phenylmethane of melting point 142° C. are obtained.
