To a stirred solution of the crude 4-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde (1.0 g) in methanol(15 ml) cooled to 0° C. was added NaBH4 (0.2 g, 5.2 mmol) in portions over 15 min and the whole stirred for 1 h. A saturated aqueous NH4 Cl solution (50 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and the whole extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml*2). The organic layer was washed with water (100 ml), brine (50 ml), dried over MgSO4, and solvent removed under reduced pressure. The crude product was washed with an Et2 O/ethyl acetate mixture (3:1, 15 ml) to give the title compound (0.51 g, 50 percent) as a white powder. 1 H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 7.5 (d, 2H, J=8 Hz), 7.28 (d, 2H, J=8 Hz), 7.01 (d, 1H, J=1 Hz), 6.99 (d, 1H, J=1 Hz), 4.78 (s, 2H), 2.35 (s, 3H).

Working Example 34 4-(6-Chloronaphthanlene-2-sulfonyl)-1-[4-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzyl]-2-piperazinone To a solution of N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)ethylenediamine (431 mg) and <strong>[88427-96-7]4-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzaldehyde</strong> (500 mg) in dichloromethane (10 ml) was added acetic acid (323 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. To the mixture was added, under ice-cooling, sodium triacetoxyborohydride (855 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated, and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was extracted with water, and the aqueous layer was made alkaline with sodium hydroxide solution. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and dried with sodium sulfate, and sodium sulfate was filtered off. To the filtrate was added triethylamine (543 mg) and then was added at 0 C. chloroacetyl chloride (455 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction solution was washed with sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, dried and concentrated, and the residue was dissolved in DMF (15 ml). To the solution was added sodium hydride in oil (129 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated, and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with water and brine, dried and concentrated, and the residue was purified with column chromatography (ethyl acetate) to give 4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1-[4-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzyl]-2-piperazinone.

a. 4(2-Methylimidazol-1-yl)benzyl alcohol To a suspension of NaH (0.612 g, 15.3 mmol: 60% suspension of mineral oil) of in dry DMF (10 ml) cooled to 10 C. was added a DMF (8 ml) solution of 2-methylimidazole (1.23 g, 15 mmol) under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature. 4-Fluorobenzaldehyde (1.90 g, 15.3 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting solution was stirred for 14 h. The reaction mixture was poured into an ice-cold saturated aqueous NH4 Cl solution (100 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml*2). The organic layer was washed with water (100 ml) and brine (80 ml), dried over MgSO4 and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2; hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1 then ethyl acetate) to give crude 4-(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)-benzaldehyde (1.0 g), which was used without further purification.
