Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-[1-(2-methoxy-ethoxymethyl)-6-ethylsulfanyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.501 g, 1.14 mmol) and MeOH (5.7 mL) was added a solution of Oxone®/potassium peroxymonosulfate (1.47 g, 2.40 mmol) in water (5.7 mL). The mixture was stirred for 44 h at 23° C. EtOAc (50 mL) and water (30 mL) were added and the biphasic mixture stirred. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was further extracted with EtOAc (50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified (FCC) (10-80% EtOAc/hex) to yield the titled compound (0.232 g, 45% yield, 2:1 mixture of regioisomers) and 1-[1-(2-methoxy-ethoxymethyl)-6-ethylsulfonyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.260 g, 48% yield, 5:2 mixture of regioisomers). MS (ESI/CI): mass calcd. for C13H23ClN4O5S, 454.1; m/z found, 455.1 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 8.90 (d, J=0.6 Hz, 1H), 8.20 (d, J=0.6 Hz, 1H), 8.13 (s, 1H), 7.74 (s, 1H), 6.25-6.16 (m, 2H), 4.37 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 3.68-3.62 (m, 2H), 3.46-3.41 (m, 2H), 3.27 (s, 3H), 3.26-3.13 (m, 1H), 2.94-2.83 (m, 1H), 1.39 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H), 1.27 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 3H).
