Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 1-(5,6-dichloro-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone (326 mg) in THF (10 mL) −78° C. was added vinyl magnesium bromide (2.42 mL of 1.0 M in THF) dropwise. The resulting mixture was then stirred at 0° C. for 2 hr. The resulting mixture 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 gum. The yellow gum was dissolved in a minimal amount of CH2Cl2 and triturated with hexanes to yield the title compound as a light yellow solid.
