The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 24 h before removal of volatile solvent in vacuo. The resultant residue was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4), treated with charcoal (15 g), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a solid. The solid was triturated with 10% diethyl ether in pentane then dried at 50° C. in vacuo to give 4-Chloro-5-[4-(2-isopropyl-2H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-2-methoxy-pyridine as a pale brown solid (8.74 g, 54%). LCMS RT=2.86 min, [M+H]+=319/321. 1H NMR 400 MHz (CDCl3) δ: 9.03 (1H, s), 7.89 (1H, s), 7.83 (1H, s), 7.26 (1H, s) 6.88 (1H, s), 4.01 (3H, s), 1.58 (6H, d, J=6.63 Hz).
