Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-fluoro-5-((5-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(quinolin-6-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)phenol (Example 81) (100 mg, 0.244 mmol) in acetone (5 mL) were added tert-butyl 2-bromoethylcarbamate (109 mg, 0.488 mmol) and K2CO3 (67 mg, 0.488 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with H2O (20 mL), and extracted with CH2Cl2 (5 mL, 3 times). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by MPLC on NH silica gel (MeOH:CH2Cl2=1:50 (v/v)) to give tert-butyl 2-(2-fluoro-5-((5-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(quinolin-6-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)phenoxy)ethylcarbamate (123.5 mg, 91%). This compound was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (5 mL), and p-anisole (224 uL, 2.23 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid (1 mL) were added. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour, then concentrated, diluted with H2O (10 mL), and neutralized by addition of aqueous NH4OH solution to pH 7˜8. The aqueous solution was saturated with NH4Cl solid, extracted with CH2Cl2 (5 mL, 3 times), and then the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by MPLC on NH silica gel (MeOH:CH2Cl2=3:100 (v/v)) to afford the title compound (70.2 mg, 69%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.50 (3H, s), 3.09 (2H, t), 4.04 (2H, t), 4.16 (2H, s), 6.85-6.90 (1H, m), 6.95-7.07 (3H, m), 7.24 (1H, s), 7.36 (1H, d), 7.41 (1H, dd), 7.97 (1H, dd), 8.09-8.18 (3H, m), 8.92 (1H, dd), 10.40 (1H, bs).
