Reaction Steps

Alternatively as shown in Scheme 4, 1-iodo-2-fluoro-4-(2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)benzene 3-2 prepared as above, is treated with 4-hydroxymethylimidazole II-1 in the presence of 8-hydroxyquinoline, and K2CO3 in DMSO. The resulting mixture is degassed before being charged with CuI to give 4-hydroxymethyl-(2-fluoro-4-(2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)phenyl)imidazole 4-1. The compound 4-1 is treated with thionyl chloride to give 4-chloromethyl-(2-fluoro-4-(2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)phenyl)imidazole which is then treated with NaN3 to result in 4-azidomethyl-(2-fluoro-4-(2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)phenyl)imidazole 4-2. The azide 4-2 is reduced with Ph3P to give 4-aminomethyl-(2-fluoro-4-(2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl)phenyl)imidazole 4-3. The compound 4-3 is then treated with 5-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic acid 1-5 to give the title compound 21.
