To a mixture of 4-chloro-N-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]benzenecarboximidamide (Example 1, Step 1) (700 mg, 2.24 mmol) and sodium bicarbonate (376 mg, 4.48 mmol) in isopropanol (50 mL), 4-methoxyphenacyl bromide (1.03 g, 4.48 mmol) was added. After heating the reaction mixture at 75°-80° C. for 20 hours, the solvent was removed. The residue was redissolved in methylene chloride and washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and water. The organic fractions were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was chromatographed (silica gel, hexane/ethyl acetate, 6/4) to give 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazole (695 mg, 71%) as a white solid: mp 110°-113° C. Anal Calc'd. for C23H19N2SO3Cl: C, 62.94, H, 4.36, N, 6.38, S, 7.30. Found: C, 62.54, H, 4.43, N, 6.17, S, 7.15.
