Reaction Steps

tert-Butyldimethylsilyl chloride (2.21 g) was added portionwise to a mixture of imidazole (1.00 g) and 2-(4-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiophen-2-yl)acetic acid [Aromatic Intermediate 20, step c] (1.3 g) in DMF (15 mL) at 20° C. over a period of 20 minutes. The resulting solution was stirred at 20° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was diluted with THF (15 mL), cooled in ice-water, and treated with a solution of potassium carbonate (1.35 g) in water (15 mL). This mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and aqueous brine, and the phases separated. The organic layer was washed twice with aqueous brine, dried, filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in THF (40 mL), cooled in an ice bath and treated with borane tetrahydrofuran complex (1M in THF, 21 mL), added dropwise. The resultant solution was stirred at 20° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched by dropwise addition of methanol (10 mL) and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography using 17% ethyl acetate in isohexane as solvent. Fractions containing the product were evaporated to dryness to afford the titled compound. Yield 1.25 g.
