To a 3 L 4-neck flask equipped with an overhead stirrer, nitrogen bubbler, and thermocouple was added 5-bromo-1-methyl-1H-imidazole (47.96 g, 297.9 mmol), followed by THF (537 mL). To this room temperature solution was added isopropylmagnesium chloride/lithium chloride complex [1.3 M] (246.8 mL, 320.8 mmol) (addition temperature maintained between 16.6 and 25° C.) to afford a milky suspension and the reaction was stirred for 60 minutes and then cooled to 5.3° C. in an ice bath. To this mixture was added a solution of N-methoxy-N-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)nicotinamide (53.66 g, 229.14 mmol, Intermediate 15, step b) in THF (268.3 mL) (addition temperature between 5.3 and 5.6° C.) to afford an orange mixture. After addition, the reaction was warmed to room temperature over 2 hours. After stirring at room temperature for 18 hours, THF (200 mL) was added and the reaction was stirred for 2 hours. The reaction was then cooled to 4° C. with an ice bath and carefully quenched with 2N HCl to a pH=7, quenching temperature reached 12° C. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (500 mL), phase split and the organic layer was washed with brine (2×200 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent was removed. Hot ether was added and then filtered to give the title compound as a solid.
