Dimethyl Sulfoxide → 5-Pentylbenzimidazol-2-one

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a solution of 5-methylbenzimidazol-2-one (50 mg, 3.378×10−4 mol) in dry ethanol (5 ml), the freshly made sodium ethoxide in ethanol (1M, 1.01×10−3 mol equivalents) was added dropwise under a nitrogen atmosphere. At room temperature the mixture was stirred for 3 hrs under an atmosphere of nitrogen and the ethanol was then removed under reduced pressure. To this a solution of dry DMSO (3 ml) and 1-bromobutane (54 μl, 5.1×10−4 mol) was added and stirred at room temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen overnight. The reaction mixture was then quenched with ice and neutralised using 1M hydrochloric acid solution, forming a white solid product. The solid was collected by filtration and purified using preparative thin liquid chromatography with 10% MeOH/CHCl3.
