Reaction Steps

5.10 g (20 mmol) of 4-(3-phthalimidopropyl)-imidazole followed by 3.92 g (20 mmol) of 3-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-propionic acid are added portionwise to a suspension of 1.20 g (40 mmol) of sodium hydride (80% on paraffin oil) in 50 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide. The reaction mixture is initially stirred at room temperature until gas evolution ceases and then at 100° C. for 17 hours. After cooling, the mixture is poured out on 50 ml of water and extracted with 3×50 ml dichloromethane. The aqueous phase is then adjusted to pH 5 with 2N hydrochloric acid and the precipitated solid is suction filtered and recrystallized from methanol.
