Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 1-(5,6-dichloro-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone (595 mg) in THF (3 mL) at −78° C. was added 3-butenyl magnesium bromide (7.8 mL of 0.5 M in THF) dropwise. The resulting mixture was then stirred at 0° C. for 4 hr. The reaction was quenched with H2O and 1 N HCl, extracted with EtOAc, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to yield a residue. The residue was purified by flash chromatography with Biotage 40s+ column and elution with 10%-40% EtOAc/hexanes to yield a yellow solid. The yellow solid was dissolved in a minimal amount of Et2O and triturated with hexanes to yield the title compound as a tan solid.
