5-bromo-1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole → HCID 118006084, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 0.24 mL, 0.6 mmol) was added dropwise by syringe to a solution of 5-bromo-1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole (107.8 mg, 0.616 mmol) in dry THF (6 mL) in a dry ice-acetone bath. After 1-2 minutes, (4-chloro-3-(4-fluorobenzyl)-2-methoxyquinolin-6-yl)(1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methanone (0.217 g, 0.512 mmol, Intermediate 46: step b) in dry THF (2 mL) was added to the mixture via syringe. After 5 minutes, the reaction was removed from the cold bath and was allowed to warm to ambient temperature overnight. The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. Water was added and the aqueous mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to dryness. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 0-10% MeOH-DCM) to provide the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.23 (d, J=2.2 Hz, 1H), 7.63 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.37 (dd, J=8.8, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.30-7.25 (m, 2H), 6.97-6.92 (m, 2H), 6.19 (s, 1H), 6.12 (s, 2H), 4.22 (s, 2H), 4.07 (s, 3H), 3.37 (s, 6H), 2.24 (s, 6H); MS m/e 520.2 [M+H]+.
