Propargyl bromide → HCID 14851947, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

potassium tert.-butoxide, 2.1 g (18.5 mmol). was added to a solution of 2.5 g (16.9 mmol) of 1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2H-benzimidazol-2-one in 25 ml of dimethylformamide. After stirring under nitrogen for 15 minutes, 2.21 g (18.5 mmol) of propargyl bromide was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. It was diluted with ice-water and the precipitate was filtered off washed with water and sucked dry. The crude product was passed over silica gel using 10% (v/v) of ethyl/acetate in methylene chloride for elution. Crystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane gave colorless crystals of 1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-3-(2-propynyl)-2H-benzimidazole-2-one with m.p. 110°-112°.
