(CAS NO.: ), with its systematic name of , 1-(alpha-(4-biphenylyl)benzyl)-, could be produced through many synthetic methods.

Following is one of the synthesis routes: (I) could be reduced with NaBH₄ in ethanol to produce 4-phenylbenzhydrol (II), and the yielding product is then condensed with imidazole (III) in the presence of SOCl₂ in acetonitrile.
