This compound has been obtained by two different ways: 1) The reaction of 4-iodo-1-tritylimidazole (I) with ethylmagnesium bromide produced the Grignard reagent (II). Subsequent addition of (II) to 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-4-one (III) afforded the tertiary alcohol (IV). Finally, acidic treatment of (IV) with methanolic HCl effected both alcohol dehydration and trityl group cleavage to yield the title compound. 2) The reaction of 4-iodo-1-tritylimidazole (I) first with ethylmagnesium bromide to give the Grignard reagent (II) and then with either Bu3SnCl or ZnCl2 gave the respective tin- or zinc-organometallic reagents (V). 4,5,6,7-Tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-4-one (III) was then converted to the corresponding enol triflate (VI) by means of LDA and N-phenyltrifluoromethanesulfonimide (1) or trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride. Subsequent coupling of (VI) with organometallic (V) in the presence of a palladium catalyst and LiCl in dioxane furnished 4-(1-tritylimidazol-4-yl)-6,7-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene (VII), which was finally treated with methanolic HCl to perform the cleavage of the trityl group and yield the target compound.
