Benzene → HCID 59251258, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 25 mL round bottom flask attached with Vigreux column and magnetic stir bar was added 2-(2-Chloro-phenyl)-1-(3′-methanesulfonyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic acid (2,2,2-trifluoro-ethyl)-amide (65 mg, 127 μmol), Lawesson's Reagent (230 mg, 570 μmol), and anhydrous toluene (6 mL). The reaction solution was allowed to stir at reflux 5 hrs prior to TLC analysis showing full transformation of starting material. The reaction solution was allowed to cool to room temperature prior to addition of a 1:1 mixture of benzene and Et2O. The resulting precipitate was removed by vacuum filtration through a Buchner funnel. The filtrate was concentrated on the Rotavapor and the crude residue was chromatographed through a 12 g SiO2 column using a mobile phase gradient of 100% Hx to 50% EtOAc to afford 55 mg (79% yield) of the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 9.21 (t, 1H), 8.11 (s, 1H), 8.04 (t, 1H), 7.85 (d, 1H), 7.75 (d, 1H), 7.59 (t, 1H), 7.53-7.46 (m, 4H), 7.34-7.311 (m, 3H), 7.18 (d, 2H), 4.56 (m, 2H), 3.02 (s, 3H); 19F NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 6-70.8 ppm; MS (ES): 550.3, 552.3 [M+H]+.
