Reaktionsschritte

To a mixture of 4-chloro-N-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]benzenecarboximidamide (Example 1, Step 1) (240 mg, 0.78 mmol) and sodium bicarbonate (131 mg, 1.56 mmol) in isopropanol (20 mL), excess chloroacetone (1.5 mL) was added. After heating to reflux, the reaction mixture for 72 hours, the solvent was removed. The residue was redissolved in methylene chloride and washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and water. The organic fractions were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product (370 mg) was purified by chromatography (silica gel, hexane/ethyl acetate, 25/75) to give pure 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-4-methyl-1H-imidazole (160 mg, 67%): mp (DSC) 166° C. Anal Calc'd. for C17H15N2SO2Cl C, 58.87, H, 4.36, N, 8.08 Found: C, 58.78, H, 4.62, N, 7.99.
