Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[2-(2-Pyridyl)-phenyl thio]-benzimidazole (0.825 mmole) in anhydrous dimethylformamide (15 ml) was treated under nitrogen with sodium hydride (0.90 mmole). The mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature, cooled to 5° and benzyl chloroformate (0.90 mmole) was added. The mixture was allowed to attain room temperature, then stirred for 18 hours after which it was poured into ice/water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×15 ml). The combined extracts were washed with water, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to an oil. The oil was flash chromatographed on silica gel using 10% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane as eluant to give the sub-title compound as a brown oil, MW 437 Base Peak 91.
