4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → 4-{3-(1-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2-[(1-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl]propoxy}benzaldehyde

Reaction Steps

To a tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) solution of the compound (120 mg) produced in Example 18 and a 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (31 mg), triphenylphosphine (81 mg) and diethylazodicarboxylate (175 μL) were added in this order. The reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. To the reaction solution, water (20 mL) was added. The aqueous layer was extracted twice with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution (50 mL) and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After removing the anhydrous magnesium sulfate by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=80:20→0:100→ethyl acetate:methanol: 28% aqueous ammonia=100:0:0→80:20:2) to obtain the title compound (85 mg) having the following physical properties.
