Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-[2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2yloxy)ethyl]-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one (12 g, 46 mmoles) in DMF (120 ml) was added 80% sodium hydride (1.7 g, 55 mmoles) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Cis-1,4-dichloro-2-butene (5.8 ml, 55 mmoles) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was taken to dryness and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (cyclohexane-ethyl acetate 70-30) to give 2.8 g of the title compound as a thick oil which was used without any further purification.
