Reaction Steps

The 4-[4-(4-chlorobenzyl)-5-(1-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-2-thienyl]pyridine (58 mg, 0.12 mmol) and methylene chloride (4.0 mL, 62 mmol) were combined in a round bottomed flask equipped with a stirbar. The mixture was stirred and trifluoroacetic acid (1.1 mL, 14 mmol) was added in one portion. The resulting yellow solution was stirred overnight at rt under an atmosphere of nitrogen. Excess solvent was removed on the rotovap and the residue was digested in a mixture of EtOAc and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The mixture was stirred then transferred to a separatory funnel. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted twice more with EtOAc. The organics were combined, washed with bicarbonate solution, then saline, and then dried over sodium sulfate. The mixture was filtered then evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica, elution 100% DCM to 100% EtOAc to afford the title compound as an off-white powder. Yield 41 mg (97% yield). LCMS: (FA) ES+, 353, 355. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ: 14.31 (1H, br s), 8.67 (1H, br s), 8.55 (2H, d, J=6.3 Hz), 7.69 (1H, s), 7.63 (2H, d, J=6.3 Hz), 7.36-7.30 (4H, m), 4.47 (2H, s).
