Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 2-[5-bromo-4-cyano-3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-thienyl]-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (0.341 g, 0.743 mmol), carbon tetrachloride (12.1 mL, 126 mmol), acetonitrile (18.3 mL, 351 mmol) and pyridine (12 mL, 150 mmol) was added 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (0.442 mL, 2.96 mmol) slowly. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The mixture was evaporated, then the residue was diluted with dichloromethane and 0.5N aqueous HCl solution. The layers were separated, then the organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography was performed to yield the title compound (0.226 g, 67%). LCMS: (FA) ES+, 458. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d4-Methanol) δ: 7.70-7.67 (m, 2H), 7.53-7.43 (m, 2H), 3.85 (s, 3H).
