Reaktionsschritte

Diisopropylamine (0.53 mL, 3.75 mmol) is dissolved in 5 mL THF and cooled down to −78° C. To this is added n-BuLi (2.3 mL, 1.6M in hexanes). After 15 min, a solution of 3,5-difluorobenzonitrile (0.52 g, 3.75 mmol) and THF (5 mL) is added and the solution maintained at that temperature for 0.5 h before adding a solution of 3-(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)propionaldehyde and THF (20 mL). After 2 h, the solution is diluted with EtOAc and quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl. The mixture is then partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aqueous NH4Cl. The organic is dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. The residue is purified via flash column chromatography (EtOAc/hexanes 2:8→EtOAc) to give 3,5-difluoro-4-[1-hydroxy-3-(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-propyl]benzonitrile as a yellow powder. MS (ESI) m/z 506.2 (M+H).
