Reaction Steps

n-BuLi (1.63 M in hexane, 0.124 mL, 0.203 mmol) was added dropwise under argon at ˜−70° C. to a solution of 3-(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzyl)-6-bromo-4-chloro-2-methoxyquinoline (81.6 mg, 0.19 mmol, Intermediate 10) in THF (1.9 mL). After 2 additional minutes, an opaque milky suspension of bis(1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanone (42.4 mg, 0.194 mmol, Intermediate 11) in LaCl3-2LiCl (0.5 M in THF, 0.381 mL, 0.19 mmol) and THF (2.5 mL) was added rapidly dropwise over 1.5 minutes. The resulting yellow slurry was stirred in the dry ice/acetone bath for 10 minutes, and was then transferred to an ice bath and stirred overnight as the bath warmed to room temperature. The reaction was then quenched with 5 M aqueous NH4Cl (0.06 mL) and diluted with DCM (˜5 mL) and MeOH (˜2 mL), and the suspension was partitioned with 0.75 M aqueous tetrasodium EDTA (4 mL) and 9:1 DCM/MeOH (10 mL). The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by C18 HPLC (20% to 100% CH3CN gradient with 0.1% TFA throughout) and the lyophilisate neutralized with 9:1 DCM/MeOH) and 2 M aqueous K2CO3. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to dryness to provide the title compound as a colorless film. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.23 (s, 1H), 7.86 (d, J=2.53 Hz, 1H), 7.63-7.70 (m, 2H), 7.58 (d, J=8.59 Hz, 2H), 7.38 (d, J=8.59 Hz, 2H), 7.37 (m, 1H), 6.42 (t, J=1.99 Hz, 1H), 6.14 (s, 2H), 5.82 (br. s., 1H), 4.29 (s, 2H), 4.08 (s, 3H), 3.38 (s, 6H), 2.26 (s, 6H); MS m/e 568.3 [M+H]+.
