Reaction Steps

Acetic acid (4-cyano-3-fluoro-phenyl)-(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-methyl ester (4.60 g, 9.17 mmol) and dimethyl sulfate (0.83 mL, 8.81 mmol) were dissolved in EtOAc (20 mL) and heated at 60° C. overnight under Ar. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo, diluted with MeOH (30 mL), and refluxed for 1 h. Concentrated in vacuo and purified using SiO2 chromatography (0.5-4% MeOH/CH2Cl2 with NH4OH) to give the title compound.
