Reaction Steps

The mixture of [2-(2-tert-butyl-4-ethoxy-pyrimidin-5-yl)-4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-imidazol-1-yl]-piperazin-1-yl-methanone (80 mg, 0.13 mmol), methanesulfonic acid 2-((R)-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-yl)-ethyl ester (437 mg, 1.95 mmol, prepared from 2-((R)-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-yl)-ethanol and methanesulfonyl chloride in the present of triethylamine) and diisopropylethylamine (110 uL, 0.65 mmol) in dry dimethylformamide (3 mL) was heated in the microwave at 180° C. for 20 min. Upon cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water (5×) and brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the crude residue by flash column chromatography (silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate and hexane) gave rac-[(4S*,5R*)-2-(2-tert-butyl-4-ethoxy-pyrimidin-5-yl)-4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-imidazol-1-yl]-{4-[2-((R)-2,2-dimethyl-[1,3]dioxolan-4-yl)-ethyl]-piperazin-1-yl}-methanone (45 mg).
