Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E)-3-{[1-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-1H-imidazol-5-yl]methylidene}-1-(triphenylmethyl)piperidin-4-ol (3.15 g) in toluene (50 ml) were added N,N-dimethylformamide dineopentyl acetal (3.5 ml) and thioacetic acid (0.89 ml) at room temperature. After being stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed successively with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure followed by purification of the residue by silica gel chromatography using ethyl acetate and hexane (1:4 to 1:0) as eluents gave crude (E)-4-(acetylsulfanyl)-3-{[1-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-1H-imidazol-5-yl]methylidene}-1-(triphenylmethyl)piperidine (3.29 g) as a yellow amorphous solid.
