Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (3-benzyl-2,4-dichloroquinolin-6-yl)(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)(6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)methanol (1.01 g, 1.86 mmol, Example 109), 1-methyl-2-(tributylstannyl)-1H-imidazole (1.42 g, 3.68 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (206 mg, 0.180 mmol), and toluene (10 mL) was sparged with N2 for about 10 minutes, then heated at 83° C. for 16 hours and 110° C. for 3 hours. After cooling down to room temperature, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and DCM was added. The precipitated solid was filtered and dissolved in DMSO and MeOH. A few drops of TFA were added to improve solubility. The mixture was purified by reverse phase HPLC (water/acetonitrile/0.1% TFA) to provide the title compound as a TFA salt. 1H NMR (400 MHz, MeOH-d4) δ 9.06 (s, 1H), 8.94 (s, 1H), 8.86 (d, J=2.02 Hz, 1H), 8.54 (d, J=2.02 Hz, 1H), 8.22 (d, J=9.09 Hz, 1H), 8.16 (dd, J=2.02, 8.08 Hz, 1H), 7.90-7.94 (m, 2H), 7.64 (d, J=1.52 Hz, 1H), 7.19-7.26 (m, 3H), 7.18 (d, J=1.52 Hz, 1H), 6.86-6.90 (m, 2H), 4.54 (s, 2H), 3.74 (s, 3H), 3.47 (s, 3H).
