Heptane → 2-{1-[4-Trifluoromethyl-6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridin-2-yl]-1H-imidazol-4-yl}-thiazole-5-sulfonic acid tert-butylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 2-(4-tributylstannanyl-imidazol-1-yl)-4-trifluoromethyl-6-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridine (Example G.11) (0.575 g, 0.76 mmol), 2-chloro-thiazole-5-sulfonic acid tert-butylamide (Example H.1) (0.227 g, 0.85 mmol), tetrakis(triphenyl-phosphine)palladium (0.051 g, 0.038 mmol) in toluene (5 mL) was heated under reflux conditions for 4 h. Cooled to rt, some precipitate occurred, diluted with toluene (˜5 mL), placed in freezer for 30 min, added heptane (total volume: 25 mL), filtered the precipitate off, washed with toluene/heptane (ca. 1:1, 3×10 mL), dried in HV to give the title compound as an off-white solid (305 mg, 70%). MS (ISP) 576.3 [(M+H)+]; mp 236° C.
