Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (0.83 ml; 0.006 mol) was added at about 23° C. to a solution of (1R)-1-(1-benzyl-4-tert-butyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine (0.7 g; 0.002 mol; prepared according to experimental conditions analogous to the preceding examples and using the appropriate starting compounds and reaction products) in 15 ml acetonitrile. The mixture was agitated about one hour at about 23° C. and benzyl chloride (0.23 ml; 0.002 mol) was added. Agitation was maintained for about 16 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated using a rotative evaporator and the oil obtained was taken up in ethyl acetate and water. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate and washed with water and then with a saturated solution of sodium chloride. The solvents were evaporated under vacuum. After purification over a silica column (eluent: ethyl acetate-heptane/7-3), a strong beige solid was obtained in the form of a glue (yield of 5%). Free base. Melting point: 60-62° C. MH+=463.3.
