Procedure

To a stirred solution of 2-[5-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl]-pyridine (0.15 g, 0.35 mmol) in dry THF (10 mL) was added 2.5 M n-BuLi solution in hexane (0.21 mL, 0.525 mmol) under N2 at −78° C. After 20 minutes at this temperature, a solution of N-4-chlorobenzylindole-3-carboxaldehyde (0.1 g, 0.37 mmol) in dry THF (3 mL) was then added through a cannula. Stirring was continued at this temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was then quenched with H2O (10 mL) at 0° C. The aqueous solution was extracted with dichloromethane (3×15 mL). Combined dichloromethane solution was washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the crude material was separated by silica gel chromatography (2:1 hexane/ethyl acetate to 2:1 ethyl acetate/hexane) to afford the desired intermediate [1-(4-chloro-benzyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-[4-pyridin-2-yl-5-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-1-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-methanol as an oil (65 mg, 30%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ −0.05 (s, 9H), 0.70 (t, 2h, J=6), 2.55 (s, 3H), 3.2–3.35 (m, 2H), 4.02 (d, 1H, J=7), 5.2–5.4 (m, 2H), 5.41 (s,2H), 6.4 (d, 1H), 7.0–8.0 (m, 16 H), 8.8 (d, 1H J=5). ESMS calcd for (C37H39ClN4O4SSi): 698.6; found: 699.6 (M+H)+.
