Reaction Steps

To a solution of rac-(4S*,5R*)-2-(4-tert-butyl-2-ethoxy-phenyl)-4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole (70 mg, 0.13 mmol, example 2) and triethylamine (92 uL, 0.65 mmol) in methylene chloride (3 mL) was added acetyl chloride (59 uL, Aldrich). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight then concentrated. Purification of the crude residue by flash chromatography (12 g of silica gel, eluting with 5-30% ethyl acetate in hexane) gave the title compound (56.1 mg, 80%). HR-MS (ES, m/z) calculated for C31H34N2O2Cl2 [(M+H)+] 537.2070, observed 537.2068.
