Reaction Steps

6-(4-Bromo-2-chloro-phenylamino)-7-fluoro-3-(2-methanesulfonyl-ethyl)-3H-benzoimidazole-5-carbaldehyde 10z (0.025 g, 0.053 mmol) is suspended in MeOH (2 mL) and K2CO3 (0.015 g, 0.105 mmol) is added followed by tosylmethyl isocyanide (0.011 g, 0.058 mmol). The reaction mixture is heated to reflux under N2 for 16 hours. After cooling, additional tosylmethyl isocyanide (0.011 g, 0.058 mmol) is added and the reaction mixture heated to reflux under N2 for 16 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, concentrated under reduced pressure and dissolved in ethyl acetate. The organic solution is washed with water and brine. The combined aqueous washes are extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts are dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash column chromatography eluted with 20:1 methylene chloride:MeOH provides 4 mg (18%) desired product 10x and 1 mg (4%) (4-bromo-2-chloro-phenyl)-[4-fluoro-1-(2-methanesulfonyl-ethyl)-6-oxazol-5-yl-1H-benzoimidazol-5-yl]-amine.
