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

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 2-(4-tributylstannanyl-imidazol-1-yl)-6-trifluoromethyl-4-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-pyridine (Example G.12) (0.570 g, 0.88 mmol), commercially available 5-bromo-thiophene-2-sulfonic acid tert-butylamide (0.295 g, 0.99 mmol), tetrakis(triphenyl-phosphine)palladium (0.061 g, 0.046 mmol) in toluene (6 mL) was heated under reflux conditions for 16 h. Cooled to rt, some precipitate occurred, diluted with toluene (˜5 mL), added heptane, filtered the precipitate off, washed with toluene/heptane, dried in HV to give the title compound as a white solid (290 mg, 57%). MS (ISP) 575.2 [(M+H)+]; mp>250° C.
