Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-(4-((5-(2-(4-chloro-3-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-ylthio)methyl)-3,5-difluorophenoxy)ethanol (3.8 g, 6.75 mmol) and DIPEA (3.52 mL, 20.3 mmol) in DCM (100 mL) at 0° C. was added methanesulfonyl chloride (603 μL, 7.8 mmol). After the reaction was slowly warmed to ambient temperature over 30 min, it was partitioned in DCM (100 mL) and water (100 mL). Organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (Hex/EtOAc=1:3) to give 2-(4-((5-(2-(4-chloro-3-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-2-ylthio)methyl)-3,5-difluorophenoxy)ethyl methanesulfonate (4.1 g, 95% yield) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.16 (d, J=8.25 Hz, 1H), 7.22 (s, 1H), 6.82-6.72 (m, 2H), 6.58-6.47 (m, 2H), 6.42-6.32 (m, 4H), 4.55 (dd, J=5.27, 3.62 Hz, 2H), 4.18 (dd, J=5.26, 3.64 Hz, 2H), 4.04 (s, 2H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 3.09 (s, 3H), 1.50 (d, J=10.49 Hz, 6H).
