Part C: 2,4-Dichloro-N-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzenecarboxamidine (15.0 g, 0.0450 mol) is dissolved in 2-propanol and ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxobutanoate (20.8 g, 2 molar equivalent) and NaHCO3 are successively added. The resulting mixture is heated at reflux temperature for 40 hours and allowed to attain room temperature. The 2-propanol is removed in vacuo, ethyl acetate is added to the residue and the resulting organic layer is washed with NaHCO3 (5% aqueous solution). The ethylacetate layer is collected, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oil is purified by column chromatography (diethyl ether/petroleum ether=1/3 (v/v), silicagel) and further purified by crystallisation from cyclohexane to give ethyl 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-methyl-1-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (10.45 g, 52% yield) as a yellow solid. Melting point: 160-162° C.
