Phosgene → rac-(4S*,5R*)-2-(4-tert-butyl-2-ethoxy-phenyl)-4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4-ethyl-4,5-dihydro-imidazole-1-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

rac-(4S*,5R*)-2-(4-tert-butyl-2-ethoxy-phenyl)-4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4-ethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole was prepared from rac-(1R*,2S*)-1,2-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-butane-1,2-diamine (prepared from 3,4-bis-aryl-1,2,5-thiadiazole-1,1-dioxide and ethylmagnesium bromide as described in example 170) and methyl 2-isopropoxy-4-methoxy-benzoate in the presence of trimethylaluminum using the procedure as described in example 2. It was then reacted with phosgene in the presence of triethylamine to give rac-(4S*,5R*)-2-(4-tert-butyl-2-ethoxy-phenyl)-4,5-bis-(4-chloro-phenyl)-4-ethyl-4,5-dihydro-imidazole-1-carbonyl chloride.
