Triethylamine → 7-(Benzyloxy)-1-(2-methoxyethyl)-N,N,2-trimethyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-(benzyloxy)-1-(2-methoxyethyl)-2-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (520 mg, 1.53 mmol, Step 5 of Example 1), dimethylamine hydrochloride (374 mg, 4.58 mmol), 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (498 mg, 2.60 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (413 mg, 3.06 mmol), and triethylamine (0.64 mL, 4.58 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 1 day. The mixture was poured onto water, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane/methanol (10:1) to afford the title compound as a white solid (524 mg, 93%).
