Participants

Reaction Steps

The 4-(2-phenyl-benzoimidazol-1-ylmethyl)-benzoic acid (0.2 mmol) obtained in step 2 is dissolved in DCM (5 mL) and oxalylchloride (0.2 mL, 0.4 mmol, 2 M solution in DCM) and DMF (2 drops) are added. The solution is stirred for 2 hours at room temperature then concentrated in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in THF, treated with diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) (0.09 mL, 0.5 mmol) and 3-(dimethylamino)pyrrolidine (0.22 mmol, 22 uL), stirred at room temperature overnight then concentrated. This residue is dissolved in a mixture of DMSO, MeOH and water (1.5 mL) and purified by reverse-phase semi-preparative HPLC1 to the title product as a white powder (13 mg), identified by HPLC2 and MS [425.2 m/e (M+H)].
