Participants

Reaction Steps

4,5-Bis(2-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylimidazole (1.7 g) (J. Org. Chem., 1971, 36, 2262) was reacted with ethyl 8-bromooctanoate in a method similar to Example 9. Column chromatography on silica gel eluted with a dichloro-methane:ethanol gradient gave 4,5-bis(2-chloro-phenyl)-1-(7-ethoxycarbonylheptyl)-2-phenylimidazole (1.94 g, 77.6%) as an oil.
