Procedure

To a solution of diisopropylamine (0.7 mL, 0.005 mol) in 9 mL of dry THF was added butyllithium (BuLi) (2.83 mL of 1.62M solution in hexane, 4.6 mmol) at 0° C. The solution was stirred at this temperature for 5 minutes and cooled to −78° C. with a dry ice/isopropanol bath. A solution of 2-methyl-3-[1-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]pyridine (Example 44) (1.46 g, 3.8 mmol) in 12 mL of dry THF was added over 10 minutes and the reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 hour. (Iodomethyl)trimethylsilane (1.23 g, 57 mmol) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and was stirred overnight. The reaction was quenched with 50 mL of 1 N HCl and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×60 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude mixture was purified by chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate/hexane, 65:35) to give 1.30 g of 2-methyl-3-[1-[4-[[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl]sulfonyl]phenyl]-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]pyridine as a white solid (74%): mp(DSC) 155–157° C. Anal. Calc'd. for C21H24F3N3O2SSi: C, 53.94; H, 5.17; N, 8.99; S, 6.86. Found: C, 53.77; H, 4.94; N, 8.75; S, 6.98.
