Reaction Steps

Ethyl-1-(3′-(methylsulfonyl)biphenyl-4-yl)-2-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H imidazole-4-carboxylate (500 mg, 0.971 mmol), NaCN (10 mg, 0.194 mmol) and 6 mL 2M NH3 in MeOH were added to a 15 mL sealed tube and heated at 60° C. for 72 h. The reaction was cooled and the compound was absorbed on to silica purified by column chromatography using hexanes:ethyl acetate as eluents to afford 1-(3′-(methylsulfonyl)biphenyl-4-yl)-2-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide (298 mgs, 63%) as a white solid. 1H-NMR (DMSO, 400 MHz) δ 8.14-8.13 (m, 2H), 8.04-8.01 (m, 1H), 7.92-7.89 (m 1H), 7.85-7.80 (m, 3H), 7.74-7.65 (m, 4H), 7.45 (s, 1H), 7.37-7.35 (m, 2H), 7.27 (s, 1H), 3.28 (s, 3H); MS (ES): 486.1 [M+H]+ and 508.3 [M+Na]+.
