Toluene → 2-fluoro-5-(2-(1-(4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-mercapto-1H-imidazol-5-yl)propan-2-yl)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(3-(3-cyano-4-fluorophenyl)-3-methyl-2-oxobutyl)-3-(4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)thiourea (3.7 g, 9.17 mmol) in AcOH (50 mL) was refluxed 2 h at 110° C. After the reaction was complete, it was cooled to room temperature and co-evaporated with toluene in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (Hex:EA=1:3) to give 2-fluoro-5-(2-(1-(4-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-mercapto-1H-imidazol-5-yl)propan-2-yl)benzonitrile (2.3 g, 65%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 10.6 (bs, 1H), 7.26-7.23 (m, 1H), 7.08 (t, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 6.96 (t, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 6.84 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.25-6.25 (m, 1H), 6.17-6.15 (m, 1H), 3.59 (s, 3H), 1.51 (s, 6H).
