Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by the method of Example 1 using 207 mg of 2-mercapto-5-methylbenzimidazole instead of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and 260 mg of 2-(chloromethyl)-5,6-dimethylaniline hydrochloride instead of 2-(chloromethyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline in isopropyl alcohol. The basic extraction used 10% sodium hydroxide instead of sodium carbonate. The dichloromethane extract was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to 274 mg of the title compound as a gum. The compound was used in subsequent reactions without further purification.
