1,2-Dimethoxyethane → HCID 21540604, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

7-nitro-6-chloro-2-dimethylamino-1-ethyl-5-trifluoromethylbenzimidazole (2 g.) in 50 ml. of a 50:50 mixture of dimethoxyethane and methanol was hydrogenated in the presence of 100 mg. of platinum oxide catalyst at an initial pressure of 40 psi. for 3 hours. Filtration to remove the catalyst was followed by solvent removal by evaporation under reduced pressure. The residue was passed through a silica gel column with chloroform as eluent to give 1.1 g. of the desired product melting at 99° - 100°C.
