Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared using the procedure described by Ishihara, M. and Togo, H. Synlett 2006, 2, 227-230 and ibid Tetrahedron 2007, 63,1474-1480. Iodine (172 mg, 0.68 mg) was dissolved in tert-butanol (20 mL) and potassium carbonate (300 mg, 2.2 mmol) was added. 2,4-Dimethoxy-5-formylpyrimidine (100 mg, 0.6 mmol, Frontier) and (rac)-2,3-Bis(4-chloro-phenyl)-butane-2,3-diamine (200 mg, 0.65 mmol) was added to the mixture. This was warmed to 65° C. for 2 h. This was cooled, diluted with ethyl ether (50 mL) and filtered through Celite. After evaporating to dryness, the residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, eluting with 2-5% methanol/methylene chloride) to give rac-5-[(4S*,5R*)-4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-2,4-dimethoxy-pyrimidine.
