[1-(4-Chloro-benzyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-[4-pyridin-2-yl-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-methanol → [1-(4-chloro-benzyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-[4-pyridin-2-yl-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of [1-(4-chloro-benzyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-[4-pyridin-2-yl-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-methanol (10 mg, 18.4 mmol) and (10 mg, 18.4 mmol) and MnO2 (0.2 g, 2.3 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for two hours. Flash silica gel chromatography (2:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) afforded the oxidized product [1-(4-chloro-benzyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-[4-pyridin-2-yl-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-methanone as a syrup (10 mg, 100%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ −0.02 (s, 9H), 0.99 (t, 2H, J=7), 3.68 (t, 2H, J=7), 5.40(s, 2H), 5.99 (s, 2H), 7.15–7.40 (m, 9H), 7.75 (t, 1H, J=4), 7.85 (d, 1H, J=6), 8.00 (s, 1H), 8.60(d, 1H, J=6), 9.00 (s, 1H)ppm; ESMS calcd for (C30H31ClN4O2Si): 542.2; found: 543.2 (M+H)+.
