Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a flask containing 1-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (200 mg, 2.41 mmol, prepared according to PCT Int. Appl., 2008098104) was added THF (20 mL) and the colorless solution was cooled to −40° C. Then, n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 1.0 mL, 2.5 mmol) was added drop wise which afforded a dark reddish-brown viscous solution. The mixture was stirred at −30° C. for 35 minutes, then a homogeneous THF solution of (4-chloro-2-methoxy-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)quinolin-6-yl)(2,4-dimethyloxazol-5-yl)methanone (500 mg, 1.05 mmol, in 4 mL THF, Intermediate 51: step b) was introduced at −20° C. The reaction mixture became a dark brown color and was then placed in an ice-water bath and allowed to warm gradually to room temperature. After 45 minutes, the mixture was quenched with aqueous NH4Cl solution and extracted with EtOAc:THF (10:2), 4×50 mL. The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to provide a brown oil. Chromatography on silica gel (3% MeOH-DCM increasing to 5% MeOH-DCM) to provide the title compound as a faint amber solid. MS m/e 558.2 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 8.15 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.86 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.54-7.47 (m, 3H), 7.40 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.14 (s, 1H), 4.35 (s, 2H), 4.10 (s, 3H), 4.03 (s, 1H), 3.92 (s, 3H), 2.40 (s, 3H), 1.54 (s, 3H).
