Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenoxymethyl)-1H-benzoimidazole (0.030 g, 0.0671 mmol) in THF (3 mL) was added lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (0.20 mL, 0.201 mmol, 1.0 M solution in THF) at −78° C. After stirring for 30 min, acetone (0.2 mL) was added. The mixture was further stirred another 30 min. followed by an addition of MeOH to quench the reaction. Solvent evaporation provided a residue, which was purified by chromatography (silica, hexanes: EtOAc, 1:2) to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.030 g, 88%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ (ppm): 8.19 (dd, 1H, J=8.0 Hz, J=1.2 Hz), 7.75-7.70 (m, 2H), 7.66-7.62 (m, 4H), 7.46 (dd, 1H, J=8.0 Hz, J=1.2 Hz), 7.35 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.25 (d, 2H, J=8.8 Hz), 5.46 (s, 2H), 2.92 (s, 2H), 1.08 (s, 6H). Mass Spectrum (LCMS, ESI pos.) Calcd. For C25H24F3N2O4S: 505.5 (M+H), Found 505.3.
