(4-Chlorophenyl)(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanone → (4-Chloro-2-(diethylamino)-3-phenoxyquinolin-6-yl)(4-chlorophenyl)(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromo-4-chloro-N,N-diethyl-3-phenoxyquinolin-2-amine (525 mg, 1.29 mmol, Intermediate 5, step d) in tetrahydrofuran (12 mL) at −78° C. was added n-butyllithium (1.6 M solution in hexanes, 1.2 mL, 1.94 mmol) dropwise over 1 minute and stirred at this temperature for 5 minutes. To the resulting dark red solution was added (4-chlorophenyl)(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanone (428 mg, 1.94 mmol, Intermediate 1, step b) and stirred in an ice bath (0° C.) for 0.5 hours. The yellow-orange solution was quenched with water and diluted with EtOAc. The organic phase was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 5% MeOH-DCM), affording the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.88 (d, J=2.02 Hz, 1H), 7.64-7.70 (m, 2H), 7.46 (dd, J=2.02, 9.09 Hz, 1H), 7.42 (d, J=9.09 Hz, 2H), 7.29-7.35 (m, 4H), 7.06 (t, J=7.33 Hz, 1H), 6.98 (s, 1H), 6.80 (d, J=7.58 Hz, 2H), 6.16 (d, J=1.01 Hz, 1H), 3.51 (q, J=7.07 Hz, 4H), 3.34 (br. s., 3H), 1.05 (t, J=7.07 Hz, 6H)); MS m/e 548.8 [M+H]+.
