Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4-bromo-phenyl)-2,4-dichloro-benzimidoyl chloride (0.22 mmol) and 5-amino-1-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (65 mg, 0.27 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane is added titanium tetrachloride (98 μL, 0.89 mmol) dropwise at room temperature. After addition is completed, the reaction mixture is heated at 120° C. for 18 hours. After the reaction is quenched with water and the aqueous layer is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic solvents are combined and dried over magnesium sulfate. Filtration and concentration provide a crude product which is purified by column chromatography gave a white solid as product (41 mg, three steps yield 36%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ(ppm) 8.04 (s, 1H), 7.58 (d, 2H), 7.47 (t, 2H), 7.38 (m, 3H), 7.22 (d, 1H), 7.15 (b, 1H), 7.07 (m, 2H), 6.91 (b, 1H); HPLC-MS calculated for C23H13BrCl2N40 (M+H+): 511.0. Found: 511.0.
