Reaction Steps

A microwave vial was charged with 1-(2-fluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-N-(thiazol-2-yl)isoquinoline-6-sulfonamide (0.090 g, 0.198 mmol), imidazole (0.054 g, 0.794 mmol), and potassium tert-butoxide (0.111 g, 0.992 mmol). DMF (0.992 ml) was added and the reaction was heated in a microwave reactor at 150° C. for one hour. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, then acidified with concentrated HCl solution and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was passed through an SCX ion exchange column (pre-wetted with methanol). The column was flushed several times with methanol, then the product was liberated by flushing the column several times with 2.0 M ammonia in methanol. The ammonia/methanol filtrate was combined with the previously isolated organic layers. The combined organic layers were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The material was purified via silica gel column chromatography (12 g, gradient elution 0 to 10% MeOH:DCM) to afford 1-(2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-N-(thiazol-2-yl)isoquinoline-6-sulfonamide as a light yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm=12.90 (br. s., 1H), 8.66 (d, J=5.7 Hz, 1H), 8.50 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.13 (d, J=5.4 Hz, 1H), 8.08 (s, 1H), 8.03 (dd, J=1.2, 8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.88 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.79-7.73 (m, 1H), 7.70-7.63 (m, 1H), 7.48 (t, J=1.0 Hz, 1H), 7.26 (d, J=4.6 Hz, 1H), 6.89-6.81 (m, 2H), 6.62 (t, J=1.1 Hz, 1H). m/z (ESI) 502.2 (M+H)+.
