Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-cyano-1H-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid [2-cyclohex-1-enyl-4-(4-hydroxy-tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-phenyl]-amide (as prepared in Example 27, 75 mg, 0.19 mmol) and sodium methylsulfinate (195 mg, 1.90 mmol) in 4 mL of methanol was added 0.28 mL (3.80 mmol) of TFA. The mixture was stirred overnight at 70° C. and then concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was partitioned in EtOAc (20 mL) and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (20 mL). The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by preparative TLC on silica gel (20% ethyl acetate-hexane) to afford the title compound as a light brown oil (18 mg, 21%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3; 400 MHz): δ 9.64 (s, 1H), 8.32 (d, 1H, J=8.0), 7.71 (s, 1H), 7.33 (m, 1H), 7.23 (d, 1H, J=1.8 Hz), 5.87 (s, 1H), 3.90-3.81 (m, 4H), 3.01 (s, 3H), 2.30-2.25 (m, 4H), 2.07-1.79 (m, 8H).
