Reaction Steps

In a manner analogous to the method described in example 5, 4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-[2-ethoxy-4-(1-methoxy-1-methyl-ethyl)-phenyl]-4,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-imidazole-1-carbonyl chloride was reacted with 1-(3-methanesulfonyl-propyl)-piperazine dihydrochloride (prepared as described in Fotouhi, N. et al. WO 2005110996) 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 30% methanol in carbon dioxide). HR-MS (ES, m/z) calculated for C38H49N4O5SCl2 [(M+H)+] 743.2795, observed 743.2795.
