2-(Piperazin-1-yl)acetamide dihydrochloride → 2-{4-[(4S,5R)-4,5-Bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-(2-ethoxy-phenyl)-4,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-imidazole-1-carbonyl]-piperazin-1-yl}-acetamide

Reaction Steps

In a manner analogous to the method described in example 5, rac-(4S*,5R*)-4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-(2-ethoxy-phenyl)-4,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-imidazole-1-carbonyl chloride was reacted with 2-piperazin-1-yl-acetamide dihydrochloride (Matrix Scientific) to give the title compound as a racemic mixture. The enantiomers were then separated by supercritical fluid chromatography (Berger Instrument Multi-Gram II, Daicel ChiralPak OD-H 3×25 cm, 35° C. at 100 bar, eluting with 35% of 1:1 ethanol/acetonitrile in carbon dioxide). HR-MS (ES, m/z) calculated for C32H36N5O3Cl2 [(M+H)+] 608.2190, observed 608.2190.
