Sodium Hydroxide → (5-tert-Butyl-2-{1-[2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-ethyl]-1H-imidazol-4-yl}-2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-carbamic acid 2,2,2-trichloro-ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of Intermediate 119b (550 mg) in water (3 mL) and EtOAc (6 mL) was added NaOH (132 mg, 3.30 mmol). After 10 min stirring, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl chloroformate (273 μL, 1.98 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (×3) and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was purified by FCC on silica, using a gradient of 0-80% EtOAc in cyclohexane, to afford the title compound (175 mg). LCMS (Method 4): Rt 4.54 min, m/z 508, 510 [MH+].
