Participants

Reaction Steps

72 mg (0.14 mmol) of 2-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(2-oxoethyl)-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]-N-{-methyl-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethyl}-acetamide from Example 401 together with 4 mg (0.014 mmol) of titanium(IV) isopropylate are dissolved in 0.45 ml of diethyl ether and 0.3 ml of THF and treated at RT within 1 hr with 108 μl (0.32 mmol) of ethylmagnesium bromide (3 M solution in diethyl ether), diluted with 0.4 ml diethyl ether. This is stirred for a further 10 mins at RT. For the workup, the mixture is poured into 10 ml of ice-cold 10% sulphuric acid and extracted twice with 10 ml of ethyl acetate each time. The combined organic phases are dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product is purified by preparative HPLC [Method 10]. 5 mg (7% of theory) of the target compound are thus obtained
