Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-(2-(2-(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)phenoxy)ethylidene)cyclohexanecarboxamide (177 mg, 0.320 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (3 mL) at 0° C. was added NaH (9.0 mg, 0.384 mmol). The resulting suspension was allowed to stir at room temperature for 45 min. To the resulting solution was added 3-chlorobenzyl bromide (79 mg, 0.384 mmol). After stirring overnight, the reaction mixture was carefully diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water, brine and dried (Na2SO4). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was taken to next step without further purification. To a solution of the crude ether was added acetic acid (1.0 mL) and MeOH (4.0 mL). The solution was stirred at 80° C. for 2 h. The solution was allowed to cool to room temperature and the pH was adjusted to ˜10 with 10% NaOH (aq). The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The combined organic layer were washed with water, brine, and dried. The solvent was removed in vacuo to afford the crude residue, which was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to afford the desired product (47 mg, 0.108 mmol, 34%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): 1.44-1.52 (m, 4H), 1.69-1.79 (m, 4H), 2.19-2.23 (m, 1H), 3.85 (s, 2H), 4.05-4.11 (m, 2H), 6.63 (d, 1H, J=10.5 Hz), 6.88-6.93 (m, 2H), 6.99 (t, 1H, J=6.8 Hz), 7.09-7.11 (m, 2H), 7.18 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.25 (t, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.41-7.48 (m, 2H), 7.65 (s, 1H), 7.93 (s, 1H).
