Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-5-trifluoromethyl-3H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (3.00 g, 10.45 mmol) and 2-bromo-N-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-acetamide (2.94 g, 11.50 mmol) in a mixture of toluene (16 mL) and acetone (8 mL) was added DBU (1.72 mL, 11.50 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 5 days. Methanol (10 mL) was added to dissolve the precipitate formed, followed by the addition of silica gel (25 g). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to dryness and the residue was applied to a silica gel-packed column. The isolation of the product was achieved by column chromatography (hexanes-ethyl acetate 4:1). Yield—4.25 g (88%). LC/MS: tR=1.62 min., MS: [M+H]=462.
