Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(3,5-dichlorophenylthio)-4-isopropyl-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazole (22) (345 mg, 1 mmol) prepared in accordance with the method as described in WO 96/10019 and p-toluenesulfonic acid mono hydrate (200 mg) in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) - toluene (50 mL) was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dried with a vacuum pump on an oil bath at 50° C. for 40 minutes. The residue was dissolved in toluene (10 mL), and cooled on an ice-bath under nitrogen atmosphere. Then a solution of 2,2-dimethoxyadamantane (1.93 g, 10 mmol) in toluene (1 mL) was added thereto. After stirring at the same temperature for 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 4 hours without ice-bath. Triethylamine (0.17 mL, 1.25 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture, and the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Hexane was added to the residue and filtered off the insoluble matter. The hexane-soluble matter was purified by chromatography on an alumina column (eluate: hexane - ethyl acetate (2:1)) to give the compound 23 (227 mg, 44%). Mp 74.5-76° C.
