新产品编号:142889

Chemical Name: 4-[4-(Methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-5-phenyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazole
CAS No. 177754-60-8
项目整合开发状态: Preclinical
项目研究机构: Pfizer (Originator)
合成路线:Reaction of benzaldehyde (I) with trimethylsilyl cyanide and ZnI2 gave O-trimethylsilyl cyanohydrin (II).Subsequent condensation of (II) with 4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde (III) in the presence of lithium hexamethyldisilazide,followed by quenching of the intermediate (IV) with KHF2 and HCl,provided benzoin (V).This was oxidized either under Swern conditions,or with Bi2O3 in acetic to afford the corresponding benzil (VI).Condensation of (VI) with trifluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal (VII) produced imidazole (VIII).Finally,oxidation of the sulfide group of (VIII) with hydrogen peroxide in AcOH provided the target sulfone.

合成路线:Reaction of benzaldehyde (I) with trimethylsilyl cyanide and ZnI2 gave O-trimethylsilyl cyanohydrin (II).Subsequent condensation of (II) with 4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde (III) in the presence of lithium hexamethyldisilazide,followed by quenching of the intermediate (IV) with KHF2 and HCl,provided benzoin (V).This was oxidized either under Swern conditions,or with Bi2O3 in acetic to afford the corresponding benzil (VI).Condensation of (VI) with trifluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal (VII) produced imidazole (VIII).Finally,oxidation of the sulfide group of (VIII) with hydrogen peroxide in AcOH provided the target sulfone.

合成路线:An related procedure was based on the formation of the intermediate stilbene sulfone (XII) by Wittig reaction.Thus,condensation of phosphonium salt (IX) with aldehyde (X) in the presence of LiOEt gave stilbene (XI) as a mixture of geometric isomers.Then,oxidation of the sulfide group of (XI) with Oxone provided stilbene sulfone (XII).Alternatively,phosphonium salt (XIV),prepared from benzyl chloride (XIII) and triphenyl phosphine,was condensed with benzaldehyde to yield (XII).The oxidation of stilbene (XII) with KMnO4 produced benzil (XV).Finally,cyclization of (XV) with hemiacetal (VII) furnished the title imidazole.
