1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-5-carbaldehyde → (4-Chloro-2-methoxy-3-((6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)quinolin-6-yl)(1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 0.9 mL, 2.25 mmol) was added dropwise by syringe to a solution of 6-bromo-4-chloro-2-methoxy-3-((6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methyl)quinoline (1.009 g, 2.338 mmol, Intermediate 9: step c) in dry THF (12.5 mL) in a dry ice-acetone bath. After 1-2 minutes, a solution of 1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-5-carbaldehyde (359.6 mg, 2.897 mmol) in dry THF (5 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred for 10 minutes, then was moved into an ice bath and allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. Water was added and the separated aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc/THF 10:1. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The crude was triturated with EtOAc/ether 1:1 and filtered, rinsing with additional ether. The collected solids were purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 0-5% MeOH-DCM) to provide the title compound. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 8.76 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.24-8.22 (m, 1H), 7.84 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.79-7.75 (m, 1H), 7.67-7.62 (m, 1H), 7.56 (dd, J=8.2, 0.9 Hz, 1H), 6.54 (d, J=0.7 Hz, 1H), 6.03 (s, 1H), 4.37 (s, 2H), 4.09 (s, 3H), 3.49 (s, 3H), 2.35 (s, 3H); MS m/e 477.0 [M+H]+.
