Reaction Steps

1.26 g. (11 mmol) methanesulphonyl chloride were slowly added dropwise to a solution of 3.6 g. (10 mmol) 7,7-dimethyl-2-(2-methoxy-4-aminophenyl)-6,7-dihydro-3H,5H-pyrrolo[2,3-f]benzimidazol-6-one hydrochloride and 2.2 g. (22 mmol) triethylamine in 50 ml. dimethylformamide. After stirring for 2 hours at 25° C., the dimethylformamide was distilled off under a high vacuum. The residue was worked up with water and filtered off with suction. Subsequently, it was recrystallised from ethanol to give 2.9 g. (72.5% of theory) of the title compound; m.p. >300° C.
