1-Methanesulphonyloxy-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-[2-(3-trifluoromethyl-4-fluorobenzoyl)imidazol-1-yl]butane → 4-Cyclohexyl-1-(3-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-4-[2-(3-trifluoromethyl-4-fluorobenzoyl)imidazol-1-yl]butyl)quinuclidinium methanesulphonate

Reaction Steps

1-Methanesulphonyloxy-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-[2-(3-trifluoromethyl-4-fluorobenzoyl)imidazol-1-yl]butane (0.77 g) (see Preparation 80) and 4-cyclohexylquinuclidine (0.31 g) (see Preparation 1) were dissolved in acetonitrile (10 ml) and heated under reflux for 5 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the resulting residue dissolved in dichloromethane and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with a solvent gradient of 95:5 changing to 80:20, by volume, dichloromethane:methanol to give 4-cyclohexyl-1-(3-[3,4-dichlorophenyl]-4-[2-(3-trifluoromethyl-4-fluorobenzoyl)imidazol-1-yl]butyl)quinuclidinium methanesulphonate (0.69 g) as a white foam.
