Reaction Steps

1-Benzyl-5-(3-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-ylidenemethyl)-1H-imidazole was prepared as 1-benzyl-5-(2-phenylindan-1-ylidenemethyl)-1H-imidazole above except that 3-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (prepared according to J. Vebrel and R. Carrie Bull. Soc. Chem. Fr. (1982) 116) was used as a starting material. The crude product as its hydrochloride salt was used in the next step without purification.
