- Molecular formula:C22H17ClN2
- Molecular Weight:344.84
The starting substance 2-chlorotriphenylmethylchloride is made in various ways. In particular, chlorinating 2-chlorotoluene under light makes 2-chlorotrichloromethylbenzene (35.2.22), which is reacted with benzene in the presence of aluminum chloride to give 2-chlorotriphenylmethylchloride (35.2.20).
An alternative way of making 2-chlorotriphenylmethylchloride is a Grignard reaction between 2-chlorobenzolphenone and phenylmagnesium bromide, followed by substitution of the hydroxyl group in the resulting 2-chlorotriphenylmethylcarbinol (35.2.23) with a chlorine using thionyl chloride.
And finally, reacting phosphorous pentachloride with 2-chlorobenzophenone gives 2- chloro-1,1-dichlorodiphenylmethane (35.2.24), which is used for the alkylation of benzene in the presence of aluminum chloride and gives 2-chlorotriphenylmethylchloride (35.2.20).

Reaction Conditions:
with sodium hydroxide
Steps:
6 Preparation of 1-(o-chlorophenyldiphenylmethyl)imidazole
EXAMPLE 6 Preparation of 1-(o-chlorophenyldiphenylmethyl)imidazole A mixture of methyl isobutyl ketone (60 ml), diphenyl phosphite (13.1 g), imidazole (5.44 g) and o-chlorophenyldiphenylmethanol (11.78 g) obtained in Example 1 (B) was heated at 85° C. for 4 hours. To the reaction mixture, a 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (110 g) was added, and the mixture was refluxed for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, the organic layer was separated, washed with water and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to give 13.8 g of 1-(o-chlorophenyldiphenylmethyl)imidazole. Yield, 100%. M.P., 138°-142° C. Recrystallization from methyl isobutyl ketone gave 12.3 g of the pure compound. Yield, 89%. M.P., 142°-143° C.
