Reaction Steps

To 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-(5-(2-methoxypyrimidin-5-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-3-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)propan-2-ol (37; 80 mg, 0.17 mmol) was added phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3; 1.0 mL) followed by DMF (cat) at RT under inert atmosphere. The reaction mixture was gradually heated to 80° C. and stirred for 2 h. After complete consumption of the starting material (by TLC), the reaction mixture was cooled to RT, diluted with ice-cold water (30 mL), made basic (pH ˜8) using satd NaHCO3 solution and extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude material. Purification by silica gel column chromatography (eluting with 38% EtOAc/hexane) afford 57 (25 mg, 0.05 mmol, 31%) as a semi-solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.84 (s, 2H), 8.74 (s, 1H), 8.71 (s, 1H), 8.01 (dd, J=8.0, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.77 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.42-7.39 (m, 1H), 7.05 (br s, OH), 6.82-6.77 (m, 1H), 6.73-6.69 (m, 1H), 5.52 (d, J=14.5 Hz, 1H), 5.23 (d, J=14.5 Hz, 1H). MS (ESI): m/z 466 (M+H)+. HPLC: 93%.
