Reaction Steps

A solution of n-butyllithium in hexanes (2.5 M, 0.32 mL, 0.81 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirring solution of 1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (70.4 mg, 0.848 mmol, prepared according to PCT Int. Appl., 2008098104) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) at −50° C. After 20 minutes, a solution (gently warmed with a heat gun to dissolve the ketone starting material) of (3-(4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzyl)-4-chloro-2-methoxyquinolin-6-yl)(1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanone (200 mg, 0.42 mmol, Intermediate 21: step b) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) was added dropwise. After 5 minutes, the flask was allowed to warm to 23° C. After 20 minutes, water (1 mL) was added. The biphasic mixture was partitioned between saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (25 mL) and ethyl acetate (50 mL). The layers were separated and the organic layer was dried with sodium sulfate. The dried solution was filtered. Silica gel (2 g) was added to the filtrate and the mixture was concentrated by rotary evaporation to afford a free-flowing powder. The powder was loaded onto a silica gel column for flash column chromatography purification. Elution with dichloromethane initially, grading to 10% methanol-dichloromethane provided the title compound which was further purified by RP-HPLC eluting initially with 5% acetonitrile-water (containing 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid), grading to 95% acetonitrile-water (containing 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid) to provide the title compound as a white solid after partitioning the purified material between dichloromethane-saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, separating the layers, drying the organic layer with sodium sulfate, filtering the dried solution, and concentrating the filtrate to dryness. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 8.21 (s, 1H), 7.85 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.74 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.67 (d, J=1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.60-7.53 (m, 2H), 7.41-7.33 (m, 3H), 7.11 (d, J=1.4 Hz, 1H), 6.46-6.39 (m, 1H), 6.08-6.02 (m, 1H), 4.27 (s, 2H), 4.08 (s, 3H), 3.89 (s, 3H), 3.35 (s, 3H), 2.20 (s, 3H); MS (ESI): mass calcd. for C29H27ClN8O2, 554.2. m/z found, 555.2 [M+H]+.
