Step 1, 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (1.5 g, 4.5 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (40 mL). 1-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI, 946 mg, 4.95 mmol) and triethylamine (500 mg, 4.95 mmol) were added followed by pentafluorophenol (815 mg, 4.37 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt under argon for one hour before it was washed with 5% HCl, sodium bicarbonate solution, and then brine. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated to give the crude product (1.26 g) which was chromatographed over silica gel (20% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford pentafluorophenyl 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate (0.73 g, 32% yield): LC-MS m/z 499.0 (MH+), retention time 3.93 min (method 1).
