反応手順

A solution of methyl 1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate (9.5 g, 53.9 mmol) in THF (100 mL) had NaH (2.59 g, 64.7 mmol) added at 0° C. After stirring for 30 min, CH3I (13.23 g, 93.2 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction was then quenched by addition of water and extracted with DCM (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give a mixture of two isomeric products methyl 1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-6-carboxylate and methyl 1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carboxylate (8.0 g, Yield 78%). LCMS (m/z): 191.06 (M+1). This crude mixture was used directly in the next step.
