Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 2-(3,4-diaminophenoxy)acetate (144 mg, 0.685 mmol) in dry CHCl3 (5 mL) at 0° C., pyridine (0.083 mL, 1.027 mmol) and triphosgene (203 mg, 0.685 mmol) were added and allowed to stir at room temperature for two hours. Completion of the reaction was monitored by LCMS. Solvent was removed under vacuum. Water was added to the residue. The solid which formed was filtered and dried to afford crude ethyl 2-((2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-5-yl)oxy)acetate (85 mg, 75% by LCMS) which was used in the next step without further purification. 1H NMR: 400 MHZ, DMSO-d6: δ 1.22 (t, J=7.20 Hz, 3H), 4.18 (q, J=7.20 Hz, 2H), 4.70 (s, 2H), 6.52 (t, J=2.40 Hz, 2H), 6.81 (d, J=9.20 Hz, 1H), 10.40 (s, 1H), 10.51 (s, 1H). LCMS: RT 1.16 min. LCMS (ES-API), m/z 237.0 (M+H).
