Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Add BuLi (0.80 mL, 1.28 mmol) to a −78° C. solution of 1-(2-chloro-phenyl)-1H-imidazole (200 mg, 1.12 mmol) in THF (3 mL). Stir at −78° C. for 20 min., then add a solution of 1-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)-5-pyridin-3-yl-1H-[1,2,3]triazole-4-carboxylic acid methoxy-methyl-amide (261 mg, 0.57 mmol) in THF (2 mL) via cannula. Stir the resulting solution at −78° C. for 10 min., then allow to warm to RT and stir for 2 h. Add 1N HCl (1.3 mL) and stir for 30 min. Dilute reaction with EtOAc (50 mL) and wash with water (20 mL), saturated NaHCO3 (20 mL) and brine (20 mL). Dry, filter and concentrate the organic solution and purify the crude material by silica gel chromatography (20% to 80% EtOAc/hexanes) to give a brown solid. Trituration with cold ether gives the title compound as a fine white powder.
