Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-iodo-2-methyl-1-(2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)-1H-imidazole and 5-iodo-2-methyl-1-(2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)-1H-imidazole (500 mg, 1.9 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) was added ethyl magnesium bromide (0.7 ml, 3 mol/L, 2.2 mmol) at −78° C. The mixture was allowed to warm up to about 10° C. slowly. After cooled to −78° C. again, trimethyltin chloride (2.2 mL, 1 mol/L, 2.2 mmol) was added dropwise. After addition, the mixture was allowed to slowly warm up to room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into a saturate NH4Cl solution, and extracted with DCM. The combined organic layer was washed with water twice, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated to give 2-methyl-1-(2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)-4-(trimethylstannyl)-1H-imidazole (0.44 g, 63%) 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 6.93 (s, 1H), 4.54-4.53 (m, 1H), 4.05-4.03 (m, 2H), 3.97-3.93 (m, 1H), 3.61-3.59 (m, 2H), 3.45-3.39 (m, 1H), 2.44 (s, 3H), 1.66-1.47 (m, 6H), 0.26 (s, 9H). LC-MS, m/z 375 [M+H+], which was contaminated with some 2-methyl-1-(2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)-5-(trimethylstannyl)-1H-imidazole.
