Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-{4-[3-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-isoxazol-4-yl]-imidazol-1-yl}-phenyl)-ethanone (50 mg, 0.12 mmol) in dry THF (2 mL) was added methylmagnesium bromide (3 M, 44 μL, 0.13 mmol) under nitrogen at room temperature and the resulting mixture stirred for 18 h, after which time methylmagnesium bromide (3 M, 40 μL, 0.12 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture stirred for 19 h. The mixture was then diluted with HCl (0.1 N) and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were then dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated. Purification by chromatography (SiO2, heptane:ethyl acetate=1:3 to 0:100) afforded the title compound (25 mg, 48%) which was obtained as a white solid. MS: m/e=432.3 [M+H]+.
