Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-[(E)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)vinyl]-5-[(3-cyanophenyl)-sulfonyl]pyridine (Example 33, 200 mg, 0.52 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 mL) and toluene (2 mL) was cooled in an ice-bath while stirring under nitrogen. Diisobutylaluminium hydride (1.5M in toluene, 0.38 mL, 0.57 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred at 0° C. then allowed to warm to room temperature over 3 hours. Methanol was added then 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid and the mixture left to stand overnight. The products were extracted into dichloromethane, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Dry flash column chromatography using 3% methanol/dichloromethane followed by recrystallisation from methanol gave 3-({6-[(E)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)vinyl]pyridin-3-yl}sulfonyl)benzaldehyde (93 mg, 46%). δH (400 MHz, CDCl3): 9.07 (1H, d, J=2.2 Hz), 8.23–8.09 (3H, m), 7.89–7.81 (2H, m), 7.74–7.66 (1H, m), 7.61–7.55 (1H, m), 7.48–7.44 (1H, m), 7.25–7.16 (2H, m), 6.93–6.83 (2H, m); m/z (ES+) 386 [MH+].
