Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

As described in Example 1, 2.04 g. of 50% sodium hydride, 10.12 g. of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylacetonitrile, and 3.06 g. of 4-chloromethylimidazole hydrochloride were reacted in 50 ml. of dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture was stirred for one hour at 60° C. and then for 20 hours at ambient temperature. Evaporation of the solvent and work up as described in Example 1 produced 5.3 g. of the product named above, which was converted to the maleate salt and crystallized from acetone/diethyl ether to obtain 6.29 g. of the maleate salt of the desired product, m.p. 135°-136° C.
