Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-allyl-2-[3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-thienyl]-1H-imidazole (2.50 g, 7.46 mmol) in THF (80.0 mL) cooled to −78° C. was added dropwise 2.50 M of n-butyllithium in hexane (3.28 mL, 8.20 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. To the solution was added dropwise a solution of iodine (2.84 g, 11.2 mmol) in THF (10.0 mL) and the resulting solution was stirred for 15 min at −78° C. The reaction mixture was quenched by addition of saturated sodium bisulfite solution (200 mL) and the resulting mixture was warmed to room temperature while stirring for 30 min. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×250 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with brine (200 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, elution with 1-6% EtOAc in hexane) to give crude product which was further purified by column chromatography (SiO2, elution with 2% MeOH in DCM) to provide 2.57 g of product (71%). LC/MS (FA), ES+ 462. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ: 7.30 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.09 (s, 1H), 6.97 (dd, J=2.2, 8.2 Hz, 1H), 6.75 (d, J=1.3 Hz, 1H), 6.71 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 6.60 (d, J=1.3 Hz, 1H), 5.10-5.21 (m, 1H), 4.60-4.65 (m, 1H), 4.35-4.41 (m, 1H), 3.80-3.85 (m, 2H).
