150 mg (0.33 mmol) 5-chloro-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid-N-({2-aminomethyl-1-[3-methyl-4-(3-oxo-morpholin-4-yl)-phenyl]-1H-imidazol-4-yl}-methyl)-amide in 5 ml dichloromethane are combined with 53 μl (0.66 mmol) pyridine and 31 μl (0.40 mmol) methylsulphonyl chloride. The mixture is stirred for 16 h at ambient temperature. Then 20 ml dichloromethane are added, the organic phase is washed with water and dried on magnesium sulphate. After evaporation i. vac. the residue is triturated with diethyl ether, filtered off and dried.
