Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[2-({4-[(E)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)vinyl]phenyl}sulfonyl)phenyl]-1-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1H-imidazole (Step 2, 110 mg) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (5 mL) and the solution stirred for 16 h, then concentrated in vacuo and partitioned between saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (20 mL) and EtOAc (20 mL). The phases were separated and the organic phase dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica (eluant 75% EtOAc/isohexane) to afford a colourless oil, which solidified on treatment with Et2O. The solid was washed with 50% EtOAc/isohexane and dried, to afford the title compound as a white solid (47 mg). δH (500 MHz, d6 DMSO): 12.11 (1H, s), 8.25 (1H, t, J 4.6), 7.85 (1H, q, J 8.1), 7.77-7.71 (2H, m), 7.69 (2H, d, J 8.4), 7.58 (2H, d, J 8.4), 7.51 (1H, t, J 4.4), 7.39-7.29 (3H, m), 7.23 (1H, s), 7.15 (1H, td, J 2.5, 8.5), 6.94 (1H, s); m/z (ES+) 422 [MH+].
