Reaction Steps

Phosgene (0.47 mL, 0.91 mmol, 1.93 M in toluene) was added to a stirred solution of {4-[4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-3-ethoxy-phenyl}-dimethyl-amine (83 mg, 0.18 mmol) and triethylamine (0.14 mL, 1 mmol) in THF (3 mL) at 0° C. over a period of 5 min. The mixture was stirred for 1 h and evaporated. The residue was dissolved in methylene chloride (2 mL) and added dropwise to a stirred solution of piperazine (0.239 g, 2.77 mmol) in methylene chloride (2 mL) at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was diluted with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic extracts were washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvents and chromatography of the residue over silica gel using 0-10% methanol in methylene chloride gave [4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-(4-dimethylamino-2-ethoxy-phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-imidazol-1-yl]-piperazin-1-yl-methanone as a white foam (68 mg, 66%). HR-MS (ES, m/z) calculated for C30H34N5O2Cl2[(M+H)+]566.2084, observed 566.2088.
