(4-Dimethylamino)naphthalen-1-yl)(5-methyl-1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol and (4-(dimethylamino)naphthalen-1-yl)-4-methyl-1-trityl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanol (4): A solution of (2) (5.1 g, 11.3 mmol) in dichloromethane (70 ml) was added ethyl magnesium bromide (3.0 M in diethyl ether, 3.8 mL, 11.4 mmol) drop wise at rt. The mixture was stirred for 1 h and a solution of 4-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthaldehyde (3) (1.15 g, 7.35 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 mL) was added drop wise via addition funnel. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature (n) overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched with ammonium chloride (aq). The resulting aqueous layer was extracted twice with dichloromethane (300 mL). The pooled organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate. The mixture was filtered, and the solvents were removed under vacuum. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel with 1 to 2% saturated ammonia methanol in dichloromethane to give a crude (4-(dimethylamino)naphthalen-1-yl)(5-methyl-1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanol and (4-(dimethylamino)naphthalen-1-yl)(4-methyl-1-trityl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanol (4) (3.35 g, 6.40 mmol, 87% yield).
